Check Coils no spark is almost alway because of Bad Coil or COILS! more than likely you have a coil pack and they are usely 6 of them one could be bad or all six could be bad most of the time it is just ONE Not always though i have seen them all go out Rare but posable

What is the firing order on a 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i

The firing order for the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i is 1-3-2-4. This means that the spark plugs will fire in the following sequence: first cylinder, third cylinder, second cylinder, and fourth cylinder.
The firing order of an engine refers to the sequence in which the spark plugs ignite the fuel in the cylinders. The firing order is determined by the engine's design and is important for ensuring that the engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
In a 4-cylinder engine like the 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i, the cylinders are typically numbered from left to right, starting at the front of the engine. The firing order for a 4-cylinder engine is typically 1-3-2-4 or 1-2-3-4, with the spark plugs firing in a sequence that alternates between the left and right sides of the engine.

97 Buick LeSabre getting gas and fire doesn't want to start

cranks fast? and battery fully charged is the WAY!
Getting gas means, what? how done, ? the dribble test?
FIRE,, what is fire, spark good on all cylinders? tested.
FIre takes 3 things,good compression ,spark then fuel
or no Combustion FIRE.3 things.
no engine told and is an engine question, 3.0L or3.8L?
3.8L V6 I guess and answer now. has 3 sets of dual spark coil packs
that must never be wired up (HV) wrong as many do.
new wire sets plugs are best never this old ever.

push rod valves, cam in block.
connected new battery up backwards or charger up backwards, blows up very expensive electronics.
here is the otto cycle tests, (technolgy)
engine good, compression 150psi up and near equal all.
spark good to all cylinders, tested good.
if get this far, test fuel works for 3 seconds or more.(spray starter)
fuel is last.
3.8L (VIN L, 1 And K) Engine code not told or RPO list 3.8L (VIN B and 3) Engines Firing Order:
the coil wiring is not the same on both engines.
no VIN told
vin B or 3 here
rule 1 replace parts 1 by 1, never in pairs or more or get lost and need this drawing or t he L,1,k) drawing cure that.
test spark 1 by 1. there are 3 coils , firing in wasted spark MODE.

2009 chevy cobalt has no fire going to it and wont start anti lock

fire= spark? to get fire one needs 3 things
  • good engine.'
  • good spark and
  • good fueling rates, AFR, air fuel ratio, proper.
then fire happens. (burning the fuel)= fire.
anti lock <<< why say this? or is just side comment on ABS brakes present and expected.

a tech will check for SPARK on all spark plugs not just one.
no engine told..
2.0, 2.2 or 2.4 engine.
ill answer for 1, the 2.4.
has 4 coils , if all 4 are dead, spark tested fuse marked INJ is blown
fuse underhood, and 15amps.
if not blown and all 4 HV coils are dead.
we then check all fuses and if all good we next
all 3engines are cam chain drive, and can go 300k miles servicing engine oil correctly.

barrow a scan tool
scan the PCm
connect it
and crank for 5 seocnds
release key not off and scan again, in say 1 minutes delay
see DTC errors POP.
P03xx error are why.

NEW BATTERY, NEW ALTERNATOR, ENGINE WILL CRANK BUT NO FIRE.

no engine option size stated, so i wing it..(generic is harder)
ok battery changed, no need for jumper cables now.
engine cranks robustly.
so no fire, i hate to tell you that word means (NOTHING)
there is fire to each spark plug (tip spark = fire) then there
is combustion fire , a goal on all cylinders.
so use the word spark , you then check spark at all cylinders.
please.
if spark is gone on 1 cylinder work that.
if spark is gone on all cylinder we then scan the ECU.
RULE 1, no EFI car , runs fueling unit (IT) thinks(sic) there is spark (3 way checks) this is Crash and fire protection on call cars.
most books fail to say this very important feature in all modern cars.
so that is why spark is 1st. never ever done last.
you crank engine for 5 seconds.
release key, not off. the key yet.
and the scan tool, shows P0340/355 or any codes relate to spark
CMP./CKP ,etc.
and the rpm shows 250RPM cranking, yes,the scan tool can see
RPM cranking and is a TOP check , missed by many noobs.

so now you have spark
on all cylinders.
we cross fingers #1 is good, 150PSI compression on all cylinders, min.
and blame fueling.
A: is it flooding or starving???? the spark tips (i bet its tunedup, huh)
are dry or wet.
B: more later if you get this far.

just oneline says it. for 100 years now. (otto cycle engines)
(cranks ok, compression good,spark good x4,x6, fueling last)

No spark to engine 1991 ford pickup

It can be faulty or dirty spark plug itselfd.Also for reference get the fuel level checked.Is the fuel tank is empty or near to empty.
Try cleaning the spark plugs and then see if that is helpin.On some cases the black carbon layer gets collected on the spark plugs and that causes the problem,so cleaning the plugs help.But if its not helping,then spark plug has to be replaced.Spark plugs get power from ignition coil to ignite sparks.If ignitioncoils are faulty then also there will no spark.--------------

To troubleshot and confirm the issue,i suggest you to go through the help links provided below,check the procedure and it will help you to confirm the issue in your case.
