A car that cranks over but doesn't start, in many cases will be
due to a bad fuel pump, a broken timing belt, an inoperative cam sensor or
crank sensor. Also these problems are related to faulty spark plug. Check the
spark at spark plugs when you start the car. Do you notice any spark. Actually
you should see. If in case there is no spark then it's a spark plug problem.
Also the coil pack gives power to spark plug. So check the voltage at coil
pack. It will show 12 volt. If there is no voltage noticed at coil pack then
its faulty coil pack that has to be replaced. If all the possible options
checked out ok then check the car starter. The starter gets power from battery
to start the car. If the starter is faulty then it will not let the car to
start. Also check and confirm that there is fuel in the car. If its very low
fuel then in some cases this causes the problem. Also check and confirm that
fuel pump is functioning properly and the fuel filter is not clogged. One of
the easiest ways to check for a fuel pump related problem is to spray a little
starting fluid into the air intake while trying to start the car. If the car
starts momentarily, then there's a good chance the fuel pump is not working or
the car is out of gas. You can also listen for the fuel pump's humming sound
when the key is first turned on. Also if a inoperative fuel pump is suspected,
a good technician will always check to verify there is power and ground being
supplied to the pump, to eliminate the possibility of a bad relay or electrical
issue. Fuel pressure can be checked with a pressure gauge and if there is
pressure, pulse can be checked at the fuel injectors in several ways including
the most common, with the use of noid lights. If the injectors don't have pulse
the engine won't start.If the check engine light is coming ON.Then it will be more easy to get the fault detected.et the car scanned at autozone service center.Its free to get car scanned.As per the error code detected the faulty part can be easily identified and replaced.

Hi,
You'll need a scan tool that will read at the first thing I need to know is what is the injection control pressure while cranking the engine and also are the camshaft in crankshaft sensors in sync while you're cranking the engine. We may have a faulty sensor or possibly a faulty injector control pressure regulator. The two sensors will show yes or no war in sync. If they are not in sync then you'll need to replace usually the cam sensor. You'll want to order an ontogenesis scan tool this will take care of all of your needs.
Please get back to us if you have any further query or else accept the solution.
