Start with testing the coil. Disconnect the wire and have someone crank the engine to check for spark. The spark should jump about 1/4 inch. If spark is good, suspect fuel problem. Spray some ether into the intake while the engine is cranked. If it starts and then stops, it is a fuel problem. Your battery is probably going to go dead with all this cranking, so keep a charger on it. Also give your starter time to cool between long cranking.
lots and lots of reasons, guessing. over 50 (bad engine?)
but does it crank?, no car starts unless it's cranked or
like my car, push started or gravity started (a 6sp m/t)
if engine fails to start , and cranks robustly (fast starter motor)
then
1: never tuned up, running 10 year old spark parts.
2: blow fuse. check fuses.
3:; lost spark, check spark.
4: flooding or loss of fueling. to unflood any engine, crank at wideopen throttle (oper, guide tells you that)
5: timing belt not changed at 60,000 miles it will fail, and will not start
or start have like 1/4 power.
6: lost compression in or more cylinders.?
or
get it serviced? if all that is too much work? or confusing.
automatic trans , right?
may cars you just be in park and brake set hard. to start. (crank)
you meant will not crank, as no car (A/T) starts unless you first crank.
bad brake switch is the cause or is normal.
if curious as to rules. here.
the operators guide tells you this, on page, How to start engine)
if it dont. then see the FSM
or alldata.com for how the park lock works.
The starter has a thermal safety switch on it which is suppose to stop the starter from cranking when the starter is overheated to prevent damage to the starter. This switch is not working properly therefor stopping the starter from working.You have to replace the starter to correc this problem.
I would go after the starter, if your starter is weak or ready to seize this will be the symptom, it could also be a fuel delivery issue, if the fuel pump is not working up to pace it wont send deliver fuel.
