I have an 2003 Vue 2.2 5 speed 400,000kms Parked the car last night all ok. Went out this morning and it won't start. It turns over very fast almost as if there is no compression. Any thoughts? About to pull top cover off and check timing chain. Has run great up to this point. Please HELP lol

- OK I took the rocker cover off and the chain looks OK and tight. Everything else under cover looks intact. I changed the spark plugs while I was at it. I checked each plug and there is spark. I checked the scharder valve on the fuel rail and there is fuel. When removing the cover I took the fuel line off the rail and there was fuel when cranking. I put it all back together and it still is not starting. I held pedal to the floor and cracked as in your advice re flooded and slight change in pitch but no fire. All fuses for ECM and IGN are good. Thanks, Shawn

If the timing chain is ok, You may see it, looking through the oil filler cap? May be just flooded, hold the gas pedal to the floor and try to start it.
