Engine will crank but not start

It sounds like the timing belt let go or I have seen the crankshaft sensor go out causing this issue and when this sensor goes out it will not set a code. If you send me a short video of the engine cranking over, I can tell for sure if it is the timing belt.

You can connect the car to a scanner and crank it over. The scanner should show the engine RPMs and if not, I would replace the sensor. Here is the location of the sensor in the diagrams below and a guide to help you connect a scanner:

Check out the diagrams (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem. The crankshaft sensor is in with the timing belt.

Here are the videos I have. please, any advice will help.

Thanks for the videos, it sounds like the engine is okay, continue to scan for codes and see if the engine has spark. This guide can help you:

Please run down this guide and report back.

I had a mobile mechanic come out and they couldn’t figure out what the problem was, this is what they sent me. When I hook up my scanner it now reads a code p0115 . Could that be my problem?

Yes, a shorted coolant temperature sensor can cause the ECM to dump fuel into the engine which will make it not start. I would try unplugging the sensor, then hold your foot to the floor and try to start the engine, if it starts let up on the throttle. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

I unplugged it as you will see in the video, and it still didn’t start.

Thanks for the video, can we shoot a little starting fluid into the intake to see if it starts? That way we can tell if it is fuel, or ignition. Also, did you check compression in all cylinders? I can hear a little knocking when it is cranking over.

We tried the starter fluid, and it didn’t work. Yes, the mobile mechanic checked the compression and said that it was good on all cylinders. I also replaced the coolant temperature sensor and no luck.

Okay, let's check for spark, this video will show you how:

Let me know.

It has spark.

Okay, you could have a clogged exhaust system. Can we plug a few spark plugs out to see what they look like? You have compression in all cylinders and spark but it won't run even when fuel is introduced?

We checked the exhaust and it’s good. The spark plugs are new.
