Car Died...where to start?

Jrew · 10-23-2007, 05:20 PM

Ok went to start my car this morning and nothing... it cranks but won't start. I tested the battery...its fine. Now, i have yet to replace the spark plugs since i bought the car nearly a month ago and i have had some weird start ups in the past on a cold start. Typically the car would crank for a bit then finally start up but i seemed to need more time than usual to fire up. Anyhow, now it won't turn over at all. I was going to just replace the plugs to see if that fixes it, and if it doesn't then i have new plugs i suppose. If that doesn't work however, where should i go next? Thanks for the help

I would test fuel pressure at the fuel rail by removing the 17mm banjo bolt in the top of the fuel rail that is facing the hood and installing a fuel pressure gauge. Then I'd test the coils and igniter or coil if its a GE.

If its a 7m GTE, Then check the wiring by the CPS and the small wiring harness that comes off of the coil pack onto the main engine wiring harness. Maybe wiggle it a little. I had that problem and I had to replace some wires because of all of the heat from the exhaust manifold.
