car wont start..

Ignitor...you said you wasn't getting spark right?

change the Ignitor inside the distributor.

OR...

just get a new distributor..and make sure you dont strain the wires on the distributor plug ( strain = pulling/stretching ...trying to get the distributor unplugged )

no spark...how did you test to see if you was getting spark?

Coil / Ignitor MORE THAN LIKELY!

take off the cap...and have a friend crank it...if the rotor ISNT moving...you my friend have some work to do ( timing belt is broke...POSSIBLY have bent valves )

BUT..if the rotor is moving..timing belt is fine

these are what I would suggest:

* check your timing
* change the ignitor
OR..
* Change the entire distributor

NOTE:
IF YOU HAVE AN EXTERNAL COIL...get a new coil.

so to check first ...

COIL

then..dig into the distributor! ( if you're not getting spark )

These Engines are EASY to work on....... its just having money for the parts

well lucky me i have an extra distributor lol. but would that cuz me not to get codes? because when the car ran i had a code 6 and now its not reading anything and i didnt fix the problem yet.

Code 6 = Coolant Temp sensor.....

you would have to drain the coolant FIRST ..before you change the Sensor.

If you are fast enough, you dont have too. Even then only about a quart or so will come out. Thats at a snail pace. Like George Burns or George H W Bush changing out the cts. I just put a pan under there, unplug it, swap it out, replug it, refill coolant, bleed if necessary.

ya i know what it is lol. but before when my car would start it would say that i have a code 6 and now it doesnt say anything.. but i have not fixed the problem yet.

does the CEL come on for 2 sec. or so like it's supposed to when you first put the key in and cut it on?

no it wasnt. but i cleaned the grounds yesterday and its getting codes again and almost turned over so hopefully the battery is just to dead to start. ...hopefully.. lol. i will let it charge for a while today and give it a try

[kelton]

ok so i finally got the charger on the battery for a night and let it charge up good.

I put it in and went to start it didnt start. I checked to see if i had spark and when I pulled out the spark plug it was covered in oil.

So I cleaned it off and checked if i had spark and i do. Then I cleaned all of the spark plugs and put them in and tried to start it but no start.

So what do you guys think?

[F22HB]

You have spark? But it doesn't pop or anything when it cranks over? I'd laugh if you're out of gas. Check the firing order toooo!

[kelton]

The firing order should be good i never messed with it. unless someone thought it would be funny to pop the hood and start switching stuff lol

Can you hear the fuel pump priming when you first turn on the key?
Its not loud but you can hear it easier if you fold the rear seat down
If its not priming the pump isn't working.

[ikayto]

maybe you need new plugs since your old ones got all fracked from all the oil leaking in from the spark plug o rings seals failing.

not sure i will have to check today. I believe so, but I will check to make sure.

but if im still getting spark wouldnt they be ok?

[kelton]

ok. so. lol. its getting fuel/spark and it still wont start
it turns over just doesnt want to go

An engine requires 3 basic things to run.

1-Fuel
2-Spark
3-Compression

Check for all those things, and check that the timing is correct
