Have you checked for a broken timing chain, that would be the next step. Make sure number one cylinder is up on compression stroke when the timing mark is on 0 degrees BTDC on the crank pulley. Pull the plug and feel the pressure as it nears TDC.

Hello I would think if you replaced all those components, It would lead me to say its the ignition module, Or Pickup coil, they are both located under the distributor Cap. Fairly Easy to change should take about 15 to 30 minutes depending on you mechanical ability. I sure hope that Helps you out. If not get back and we can do somemore trouble shooting, For spark,fuel pressure. Ect.. Thanks Hopefully that will get you going.

Just from what you said it sounds like your vehicle might not be holding its residual pressure which means after you turn a vehicle off, your fuel injection system should hold a certain amount of pressure in the system, but if that pressure drops to fast your vehicle may have a hard time starting. Things to look for when you lose fuel pressure is the fuel pressure regulator may be leaking, fuel pump check valve,leaky fuel injector or they maybe a small leak in one of the fuel lines. I only suggested this cause i had a car with the similar problem.

SOURCE: 1990 Acura Legend, location of main relay for fuel pump

looked it up online, looks like its in the underhood fuse box but couldn't get a good diagram that shows which relay number it is. the website i use is sort of dependent on the manufacturer, apparently acura did not feel like sharing that info. hope that helps

1990 chevy S10 2.5 truck turns over but will not start.

Try checking the distributor itself and the wires. A crack in the distributor will allow moisture inside but the vehicle should sound like it's misfiring if that's the case. [email protected]

1997 mazda 626 won't start.

Are the plugs wet with fuel?
Check for spark. No spark? it may be the ignition module.

Plugs dry and spark present? No fuel?Spray a little starting fluid and see if it will run on that.
Then check pump fuses and for fuel pump noise.

what happened the last time it ran

did it run hot or ??

Check the oil - if none -- you could have turned a bearing. In that case, the next would be a compression test.

2002 chevy s10 2.2l no start condition. changed fuel pump and filter. plugs wires timing chain and gears. still not starting its cranking but wont turnover. i have spark but on the fuel pressure release...

The s10 have a fuel shut off relay to shut off fuel supply in case of an accident. They also have a anti-theft system that prevents fuel in case of theft.Pull the fuel line off and crank the engine to see if you get fuel. Sorry I can't be of more help but without hands on vehicle it is hard to tell.Also your fuel pump maybe sounding like it is pumping. In other words it may be running but not pumping fuel it mat have a ruptured diaphragm in the pump.The pump is running but not pumping fuel. Pull the fuel line off at the fuel filter and turn on ignmition or crank the engine you should have about 50PSI coming out.If you don't install new fuel pump.These vehicles are common for this problem the fuel pump runs but does not pump fuel or not enough pressure these vehicle require 57 PSI to start if it has less than 51PSI it will not start unless you use starting fluid then it will run.It will run with less fuel pressure it will just not start with less than 57PSI.

Hope this helps

You first need to check the fuel pressure, an easy way to access this is to buy a can of spray starting fluid, spray it into the TBI throttle valve and if the truck starts and dies you have no fuel pressure. Replace the fuel; pump, and make sure you get the right pump, it is a low pressure system.

I bought a 1997 Chevy Blazer that was not running. I put a new battery in it and checked for spark. It had spark going to the main wire on the distributor, but the fuel pump was not pumping. I sprayed...

An engine needs 3 things to run fuel, spark, and air, but they must occur at the proper time, that being said, buy, or borrow a noid light. This is a light that you can plug into the injector to see if it is getting the pulse from the computer, do not use a test light, you will fry the computer for sure. If the injector pulse is there you have to check the timing to be sure the timing chain has not jumped. Bring the number one cylinder up on top dead center of the compression stroke, then pull the distributor cap off and make sure the rotor is pointing at the place on the cap where the number one wire is hooked on. If it is the timing is good, if not it is possible that the timing chain has jumped or someone has installed the spark plug wires incorrectly.

I have a 1998 Chevy Blazer 4.3 Vortech that will not start.

You may want to check your fuel regulator and check your injectors. Had the same issue with a 96 and replaced the whole CSFI spider assembly with a MFI spider assembly and problem was solved.
