Won\'y crank or won\'t start? Deal with crank first.

If it won\'t crank chances are there is water in a cylinderand the starter can\'t push past that. Yhe water in the oil came from somewhere. The engines cooling system? If you have water in a cylinder, you more than likely have a bad head gasket or cracked head. Find that cylinder! Pull all the sparkplugs. Now with no one in direct line with any spark plug hole and observing which hole ejects water, Tap the starter. The ctlinder taking water will spit it out,forcefully, so watch but don\'t stand in the way. This will show you what hole is taking water. The water seeps past the rings through the ring gaps and ends up in the oil in the pan..If water in cylinder proves present, the head will need to be remove. When you do so, verify your suspicions by examining the head gasket and surface of the head. The head should go to a machine shop for their inspection of condion and valve condition..Lots of miles, have a valve job done. It\'s all yours my friend, The won\'t start problem is obvious. Won\'t run on Water. If you dismantle this enginetop end, have all you specs and relative info in hand before diassembly. Timing Chain/belt

installstion and timing mark info. Head bolt torque specifications, Valve adjustment specs Take a picture, maybe more than one, of the top of the engine with the air cleaner and without air cleaner. Take several picture at different angles focusing hard on the routing of the hoses and vacuum lines. Take pictures of anything you feel you may need on reassembly.You can delete pictures, but you can\'t recall what miss your notice.. Hey! Keep in touch and feel free to ask if you need further assistance. We have plenty of the bestyou can turn to for help. Thank you and Good Luck _Ned_

Is there a emergency shut off on a 2005 chrysler sebring

it would be the water temp sensor or the oil temp sensor both the engine read only for the engine management not the dash reading ones. if the engine overheats these are the first to go. then stop engine from starting.

08 XC90 cranks but won't start. After several hours it starts right up. Towed to dealer twice, started ok numerous times with no codes. Can't trust it. 3.2 6 cyl.

check the engine oil level sensor and the oil pressure sensor. this can sometimes be the problem. if the ecu does not read oil or pressure it wont start, and there is no codes. just oil light wont go out on turning engine over.(that's for oil level) oil pressure the engine on turnover pushes the oil up to the sensore when ecu reads pressure from the sensor it turns on the rest of the ignition circuit and engine will start.

2004 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L was submerged in water for hours. It was running while in water then died and wont start. Getting spark and fuel to cylinders but has low compression in 3 cylinders. What next?

Check timing belt/condition to see if timing has jumped. Another possibility is cylinder wash down caused by water entering the cylinders wiping away the oil inside the cylinders. This could cause a low compression issue as the rings will not seal properly. You can remove the spark plugs and squirt some oil in each individual cylinder then crank the engine over to distribute the oil inside each cylinder to help raise compression.

When i went through a puddle my 2005 dogde magnum got water in engine oil through tail pipe and car wont crank over?

It won't get through the exhaust unless it was under water for days, it would have gone through the air intake and now you have hydraulic lock, you need to remove the spark plugs and then turn the engine over to blow all the water out, don't try and start the engine as you will bend something and the Conrod will be the first to go, hope this helps

My 04 seabring is still overheating after replaceing the thermostat, and then wont start

If you have the 2.7L engine, you may have a bad water pump. The water pump is turned by the timing chain. When the water pump on those particular engines go out, tension on the chain goes away and retards the camshafts bad enough for it not wanting to start. Pull your oil dipstick out and see if you see signs of water in the oil. If there is, this is your problem. When the water pump goes out on those engines, it'll drain water straight into the front of the oil pan.

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.
