Usually when you have spark and fuel, it is a question of timing.

SOURCE: leave blower and vac

I don't mean to over simplify this, but are you using fresh gas? Gas blowers and string trimmers are extremely ticky when it comes to gas. They like it SUPER fresh. Not just fresh from the can, but fresh from the pump! And while the gas and oil mixture should be right, it can be off a little bit and still run. Try draining all of the gas out, and then filling up with fresh mix. This is ALWAYS my first step with string trimmers and blowers, and it fixes the problem 75% of the time. Also make sure your spark plug is clean. If you are not sure, a new plug couldn't hurt.
Hope this helps!!

SOURCE: 2001 Pontiac Aztec 3.4 liter V-6. How do you

It's not easy.
It took me four hours to change the three plugs on the rear bank, but it can be done.
The way I did it, I put the aztec up on ramps, slid underneath and followed the spark plug wires down to the plugs. I ended up working mostly by feel instead of sight.
With a lot of patience, an assortment of extensions and a swivel joint, the plugs can be changed.

An extra elbow in your right arm, and a large assortment of four letter words would also be handy to have.
Good luck!

I have a 2001 Chevy Malibu that over heated. Just got done replacing head gaskets and intake manifold gaskets still no start. I heard water flowing out of my exhaust! I have no idea why..

there could be coolant left in the exhaust. check spark and fuel. if you have spark and fuel, check compression. if you have spark, fuel and compression, it should start

Po306 new intake gaskets smoke test compression test leak down test new plugs wires tested injectors swapped injectors checked ijjector wiring with noid still when you pull off no 6 wire it changes nothing...

Code 306 means cylinder 6 is not producing power. And as you know it takes fuel, spark, and compression at the right time to make power.
Generally, if the injector is firing at the right time the spark plug should be firing as well.
Are you sure the plug is firing ? And is it possible injector 6 has no fuel to spray ?

Changed head gasket, now won't start.

I would need to know the actual code numbers to comment, but in general those components would not keep the engine from starting.
Have you checked compression, spark and fuel pressure ?

Iam having a miss fire every time i start my car on my 2001 chevy impala how do i set the timing with out taking it to the dealer i changed the plugs and the wiring and the pressure regulator still nothing...

The timing is not settable in a traditional sense of the days of distributors. The spark timing is controlled by the computer. If the computer is getting a bad signal, your spark timing will be off. Generally, a mis-fire isn't caused by bad spark timing. A sticking fuel injector, a bad or improperly seated spark plug wire, or a bad sensor will cause your mis-fires.

I have a 1997 Chevy S-10 and the intake is leaking antifreeze out the back of the intake how do I change the manifold gaskets?the engine is a 4.3 liter V-6

actual changing the gasket is not a hard job. I strongly suggest you go to a parts store and buy a haynes or chiltons manual for your specific truck. these manuals will have step by step instructions for many different repairs for your vehicle

CRAFTMAN LEAF BLOWER WONT START

Fuel starvation - 'lean fuel' condition
Basic things to check:
1) spark plug
2) spark arrestor in muffler
3) fuel lines and tank filter
4) turn adjustment needles out (counterclockwise) 1/4 to 1/2 turn
Chain Saws:
5) check impulse tube and intake boot for cracks or leaks
*if all of the above are OK and/or do not improve performance then:
Remove Carburetor
6) replace gaskets/diaphragms
a) use a spray carb cleaner to clean jets, holes, and body of carb
b) fuel pump diaphragm goes against the carb body,
then the gasket towards the outside
c) metering gasket goes against the carb body,
and the diaphragm goes towards the outside
