Hi Tammy, does you vehicle have any lights lit on the Dash, check engine light etc... You need to see if you have battery + voltage at the coils , an to see if the PCM is turning them on an off ! PCM - is the engine control module . An see if there is an input signal from the crankshaft position sensor . It would also be good to hook-up a scan tool to see if it can communicate with the PCM . Mite have a shorted 5volt reference circuit . Do you have 2.4 L 4 cylinder or 3.0L V-6 ? IF you have the 2.4 L 4 cylinder you need to Check for B+ on the Black/White wire at pin 4 in the connector at the ignition failure sensor with the key on. Jumper the Black/White wire at pin 4 to the wire at pin 3 at the ignition failure sensor connector. If spark is present now, replace the ignition failure sensor. Unplug the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector. Check for 5 volts on the Green/Red wire. Reconnect the CKP sensor connector. Check the Black wire for a good ground. Check for B+ on the Red wire. If the Green/Red wire goes higher when connected to the sensor and cranking the engine, the CKP sensor is faulty. Let me know if you have questions, thanks.
with a compression of 150 psi the timing belt will be in the right place so that can be eliminated . you need 3 things to make an engine run they are compression ( which you have plenty of --- fuel you can hear the pump but are you getting pressure in the fuel manifold and lastly spark. So have a pressure test done on the fuel manifold top check for pressure regulator --pump/ filter faults . Next check for spark at a plug lead. Check that the injectors are working . Missing just 1 of the 3 will not run an engine.
Starting problem can be due to many reasons. Go through the following chart to troubleshoot the problem: No initial combustion (Engine does not start)
1. ECM power source circuit.
2. Crankshaft position sensor.
3. Camshaft position sensor.
4. Ignition system.
5. Fuel pump control circuit.
6. ECM.
7. VC output circuit Difficult to start with cold engine
1. Ignition system.
2. Spark plug.
3. Fuel pump control circuit.
4. Fuel Injectors.
5. Cylinder compression. Difficult to start with warm engine
1. Fuel Injectors.
2. Ignition system.
3. Spark plug.
4. Fuel pump control circuit.
YOU NEED A LITTLE TUNE UP.REPLACE FUEL FILTER, REPLACE AIR FILTER,CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS.REPLACE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.IF ENGINE STILL SHAKE YOU COULD HAVE FUEL PUMP OR FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR PROBLEMS.
sounds like a security problem-if the light is flashing leave the key turned on for about 10 min. until light stops flashing and then try to start engine-if this works you need to replace the pass loc sensor(ignition cylinder and housing)
1. change the fuel filter.
2. buy a bottle of sea foam from your local auto parts store or lucas either one is the best. for bad fuel and water and trash.
my car wont crank, and I dont hear the fuel pump turn on when its in the on position. I have gotten a new fuel pump but it still dont work when it is in the on position nor crank my car. But you can hear the fuel pump when I try to crank the car but when i stop trying to crank it you hear the fuel pump go off. So if you could help me someone, anyone I would be totally happy :) my car is a (2001 Mitsubishi Galant 4cylinder)
