Then you either have a faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor.

Everything has been checked ok but my subaru forester wont start. Engine cranks but car wont start. Is it a fuel pump problem?

Lets find out
  1. pull spark plug any one hold about 1/4 inch from engine block(with insulated pliers) and have someone crank the car. You should see a spark jump across to the engine repeatedly . if so ing system is ok
  2. You don't sat the year so pull the fuel line off where it enters the carb, throttle body or injectors whichever you have. put end in a jar crank eng just a little . if fuel squirts up into the jar pump is ok. should be a lot.
  3. This will tell you which system is causing the problem
Hope this helps Mike

The car cut off whle driving. Won't start back up. Power is getting everywhere so the battery is fine. Just wont start.

Do you have normal spark and fuel pressure when cranking the engine ? Have you checked for trouble codes in the engine computer?

I have dodge ram 1500 v8 model 2002 no start can you help me

If the spark is getting right.Get the fuel system checked.Its quite possible that fuel pressure is low or fuel pump not starting up right.

CAR NO START PROBLEMS:-----


It can be the issue with weak battery or faulty battery or if battery is ok,then its faulty starter causing the issue.

Need three (3) things for an Internal Combustion Engine to run, FUEL, COMPRESSION, & IGNITION. To check spark, pull a plug wire and connect to a spark plug that is sitting on a metal (grounded) surface and crank the engine over. You should see a spark on the plug. If there's no spark present you have narrowed it down to an Ignition Problem, but there's still a mulitude of potential problems that'd cause that. Fuel injected engines do require much more fuel pressue than carb'd engines, so that may need to be checked (external fuel pressure gage) if there is a spark present.

Died going down the road, have gas and spark, but wont start now.

For an engine to run, you need three things to happen inside the engine, compression, fuel and ignition, without any one of these components the engine will not run.
  • Compression - Engine compression caused by crankshaft rotation and pistons moving up and down inside the engine block. If the timing belt or timing chain fails it will cause the camshaft to become out of correlation with the crankshaft or allow the camshaft to stop rotating. Either of these conditions will cause the engine to lose compression and sometimes cause internal engine damage.
  • Fuel Delivery System - The fuel system includes: fuel pump, fuel injectors, pressure regulator, fuel filter and pressure lines. This system is used to supply fuel under pressure to the fuel injection system, the lack of fuel pressure or volume will cause the fuel delivery system to fail and the engine to stall or not start.
  • Ignition Spark Delivery System - The ignition system components include: spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor (if applicable), crankshaft angle sensor, camshaft angle sensor, ignition coil, ignition module, knock sensor and ECM (engine control module). The engine relies on the ignition spark to be delivered to the combustion camber at the correct time. If the ignition spark stops or is delivered at the wrong time the engine will not run or run poorly.
If Your Engine Cranks but Does Not Start Follow this Troubleshooting Guide
Most vehicles operate by the same principle; basic troubleshooting procedures apply to most cars.
  • Step 1: Anytime you have a problem with electronically controlled components such as an engine, transmission, ABS brake, or SRS (supplemental restraint system, Air Bag) inspect all fuses using a test light and check the under hood power distribution center and under dash fuse panels. If all fuses test ok continue to the next step.
  • Step 2: To check for problems with electronically controlled components such as an engine, transmission, ABS brake, or SRS (supplemental restraint system, Air Bag ) and the fuses test ok a trouble code scan is needed to identify any system trouble. Use a simple scanner tool to retrieve trouble codes and see if they relate to the specific problem, like a crank angle sensor failure code. If the trouble code present does not pertain to the immediate problem like an EVAP code ignore it until a later time, after the car is running. The reason we repair non-related codes after the engine is running is because sometime false codes can be triggered by the engine not running. Once the engine is running again the code present might cycle and turn itself off. You might say "if the engine doesn't run shouldn't it have a trouble code?" Sometimes conditions occur that will not be detected by the computer, example: if the fuel pump fails the computer cannot detect the failure, so the engine doesn't start and the computer thinks everything is ok with no codes. If no trouble codes are present proceed to the next step.
  • Step 3: The spark plugs in your engine are used to ignite the compressed fuel air mixture. If the condition of the spark plugs are fouled by excessive fuel or carbon the engine will not start, backfire or run rough. Remove all spark plugs to inspect their condition. Please use this spark plug condition reference guide to see how the spark plugs are operating.

Make sure battery has a full charge. Have a helper crank it, while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse.

Turns over but wont start 2002 nissan altima

begin troubleshoot your car to the fuel system, does the fuel goes to fuel rail, check the fuel pressure, does it pressurized? if no pressure check the fuel pump or fuel itslf,check the fuse of injectors and coils, also the coil ground, if all ok, try to remove one spark plug wire and observe the high voltage drop while crunking the engine, if spark is ok and fuel is ok, it engine timing problem, if no spark check ignition system voltage on and grounding, if voltage ok, but no spark, check the crankshop position sensor and camshaft sensor.
