ok , (killed?)
there are 6 spark plugs, it will take all 6 firing to run
are all 6 sparking, called a spark test.
BTW1, the ECU will not inject fuel if it even suspects spark is bad.
it has 3 monitors for spark, if one dies, fuel is cut and in many case
the fuel pump too, all cars. (fire safety)
so SPARK is first.
- check spark? if spark is dead.
- then Insert the diagnostic jumper clip (paper clip )
- in to the check terminal.
- and then crank for 5 seconds.
- Got DTC errors (flash codes) for CMP, or CKP dead? or spark dread codes. ? BINGO?
- The ECU will tell you most times if spark is bad. and why.
ever do a 60,000 mile tune up in the last decade?
if not , maybe now is that magic moment?
fuel can burn weak or no spark.
the 60k also nets you a new fuel filter .
check spark directly at the the coil too....not just the 6 spark wires.
if the coil sparks and not the 6 that means the cam belt slipped.
(hard to believe a chain can but see 2 like that, owner was deaf)
if you have spark, then test fuel works
spary it in now.
verrrommmmmmmm stall.
?
that means the fuel pressure is low.
if you get this far,the rest is easy, ask.
