    it was the compression, the idle screw was up to high so too much air was getting in and not creating a vacum. had to call in the pro's (the motor-cycle doctors) they're fricken awesome took him 20 mins to diagnose a get it started and explained what he was doing along the way. cheers flynow for the help

I would check for compression on the cylinders. a engine has to have fuel,fire and compression or it wont run. Check the specs to get the operable compression levels.

My 1996 Ford explorer it was running fine the day before, it won't start. Seems like it wants to start. I plugged the code reader up and it wont connect. I'm stumped.

Check all fuses includeing main fuse if all good. While cranking check for spark if spark present check for fuel pressure , if no spark test coil if coil is good I would suspect a bad computer if no fuel pressure you have a bad fuel pump

Starting and stay running

Hey,

The 'wire to the coil' that you mentioned could be the problem! (They ain't meant to be taken apart.)

You see, these things are built and operate as a unit, and must be replaced as such.....

Go to a bike wreckers (dismantlers) and source yourself another coil and spark plug lead assembly and refit.

Then, as long as you have a good battery, spark at the plug, and fuel, the old thang should fire up and run OK......

Good luck, mate....you've got a groovy little bike there. :oD

Wont run

Hey Chad,

The first thing I would do is a compression test. You say you have spark, but have you actually tested the strength of the spark ? A simple check to see if the spark is strong enough is to take the spark plug, hook it up to the spark plug wire, hand hold the shell portion of the plug roughly a 1\2 inch away from the cylinder head, and crank the engine over. If the spark jumps this gap, you have good spark. If it doesn't jump this gap, your ignition coil or stator coils maybe weak and not producing enough voltage for a good spark.

92 cavalier 4cyc. with coil pack cranks but won,t start checked fire has none

if the car crankes and wont start there are a few things you need to have for it to run. spark fuel and timing. check for spark at plugs. check for fuel preasure and injector pulse. if these are o/k then check engine timing. if everything is o/k then you probably have a major vacume leak.
