Re: firing problem

Was it firing before the harmonic balancer replacement?

Re: firing problem

Do you think the gas in the tank is ok? Are there any trouble-codes? If the vehicle cranks good, but won't start, have a helper crank the vehicle, while you check for spark at the plugs and injector pulse. If you have spark and injector pulse, check fuel pressure.
