Would the vehicle start and run before you worked on it? Does the battery have a full charge? If you have done a lot of cranking, the battery may be down?

If the vehicle cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, check fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Gasoline vehicle.

Where applicable, your security system might cause an issue? Just a thought.

Hi,

Thank you for that information. Unfortunately, the post was an older one, so the person never got back to us.

Regardless, I know your information will help others.

Take care and feel free to stop back anytime.
