ok so to start the computer was replaced and programmed by the dealer. they actually did that twice because they could not get it started . so far I've checked the timing, valve adjustments, spark, i replaced cam sensor a, crank sensor, I've checked fuel flow (didnt have a set up to check pressure) but you do smell fuel from the Intake after attempting to start. I've checked every fuse I could find, replaced spark plugs and no codes are popping up. I'm about to check compression next. my friend had it idling for a while when it just shut off and never restarted. was hoping someone may have an idea.

 

I don't have anything right away, but I think more people will read this over in General Tech. So I'll move it there.

 

You need to determine if the cause of the no start is due to lack of spark, lack of fuel, or lack of compression.

If you still have a spark plug, pull a coil and insert the old spark plug. Ground the threads to a valve cover bolt. Have a friend try to start the car. Look to see if you have a spark.

The next thing is to remove the air filter and spray staring fluid down the intake snorkel while having a friend try to start the car. If the car starts up and runs while you are spraying, then lack of fuel is your issue. You'd need to determine why you have a lack of fuel before going for the fuel pump.

 

ok so I'm definitely have a spark issue because I tried either and that didn't work.

 

strangely when i checked for spark I saw it on #1 so I'm checking the other three as soon as I get back to it. it's become a real pain.
