Car will not start

Hi ccarpenter05 .

Check and test fuse no. 14 30 amp if okay test for power at the coil and injectors dark green and orange wire-do you have it? Let me know.

the injectors have no power, however the coils do. I am going to purchase a new fuse now there was a 20amp in the 30amp place .

Replaced fuse still no change.

It sounds like the ASD relay is not working. Here is a guide to help test the relay with the location in the diagram below:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.

Cheers

So there is no power to the injectors. There is however power to the coil but for only about five seconds.

Your problem is coming from the ASD relay circuitry or the computer itself is defective.

We put a new computer in it and there was no change. I am assuming it is the ASD which is what we originally thought. So we replaced the relay and it started! Should have done that first. DOH

Nice work, we are here to help, please use 2CarPros anytime.

What is wrong if your car will not start and you changed the crank position sensor, camshaft sensor, and ignition coil?

First you should have had the engine scanned to see if those sensors were really bad. guesstimate does not work on today's cars. If you have no spark go to the DIY section on the site here and look under tune up it will go through step by step on how to see whats wrong if you are not getting any spark. Also check your fuel pressure.

Fuse keeps blowing, will not start. I just do not know what fuse it is because I do not have the book.

On a 2.7L as you did not give engine size fuse 8 is in starting system. If it blows as soon as key is turned on it may be ignition switch or wiring hitting and grounding out. Have a mechanic check this out as to where the problem is. It can also be a start relay not working right.

I have tried starting and engine will not turn over, gets the clicking noise usually associated with battery being drained, but no battery is in this car. Is the problem the sensors or computer system?

Hello, the battery has a full charge and the cables/wires are clean and tight on both ends? Check the circuits going to the starter relay in the power distribution center under the hood. Any testing, make sure the tranny is in park or neutral and the e-brake is set.

I used to know a Danny Powers in my younger years. Your not from Oklahoma are you?

Car was running okay, we changed the exhaust and afterwards it started, but it ran badly, then it would not start. We changed fuses, cam sensors, went through all the fuse boxes, the timing is lined up. We have tried everything possible that has to deal with starting the vehicle and nothing is working. When we hook up the code reader it does not throw any codes. We are at a loss.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a crankshaft sensor that has gone out. Here is a guide that will show you what you are in for when changing the sensor:

Below are some diagrams to show you what it will be like on your car.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

We already changed that and it did not help either.

Does the engine have spark?

Four cylinder front wheel drive.

On Friday night my car shut off while pulling in to the driveway and the engine light came on. The car has power, but it will not start. I have 3/4 of a tank of gas and a friend checked the fuel pump and can hear it working. I have tried for the past three days to start it, but it is just not turning over. I do get regular oil changes, but have not had my 60,000 mile check up. Last week my car did a little sputter here and there, but I did not think anything of it as it has done that before when I use Hess gas. What are some of the possibilities this could be? I just kind of want an idea of what I am dealing with before I call the dealer to have it towed in. Thank you!

Have you checked to see if you are getting spark to the engine? Have you checked fuel pump pressure? Also, did the check engine light come on after it shut off or while you were driving?

The light came on right when the call shut off. I will ask my friend if he checked the spark plugs. I know the fuses were checked. Thank you

If the light came on when the engine shut off, chances are it is fuel related. Regardless, let me know the fuel pressure and if it is getting spark. Also, does the engine sound like it always did when the starter is engaged?

Okay, I have a tough one for you.

I was driving my car one day and out of no where it just shuts off and will not start back up. There was no loud noises or anything it was just shut off it has now been sitting for about three months.

Suspected problem (by other mechanics from verbal diagnosis):

1. Engine needs to be replaced.
2. The crank shaft sensor needs to be placed.
3. The timing belt needs to be replaced.

I have tried to replace the timing belt but there is no chance I can do it by my self. The entire engine needs to be lifted to do so.

No snapping blue spark, continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/COP/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer.

Read the computer codes.

Cranks will not start. Changed fuel pump, new battery, and spark plugs.
What else could it be?

Do below to determine if its a fuel or spark problem:

Get a helper disconnect a spark plug wire or two and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem. Do you hear the fuel pump come on when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer.

I was driving down the road the engine stalled and would not start back up. Still has power to everything but the turn signals and the radio will not turn back on. When I turn the key over the only light that comes on is the oil light. No check engine light or any other ignition lights come on.

Hi.
What I need you to do is have the computer scanned. Most of the nationally recognized auto parts stores will do it for free.

Have them check for trouble codes and get back to me. It sounds electrical.

Thanks so much will have it done in the morning and let you know what the out come is. I really appreciate your time.

Car cut off would not fire had towed then tried and it putted but started, took to auto parts and ran check said was o2 sensor changed one on manifold did not know had a second one. Drove fine for three weeks and cut off again found out had two sensors so changed that one and car still will not start. Any idea what it could be?

Check to see if there is spark and fuel to the engine. Chances are one is missing. Then you will know which system to focus on. If you need directions for checking, refer to our homepage under the DIY section.
