Re: S-10 wont start

An engine needs 4 things to start and run,

Fuel- is fuel pressure up to spec- measure it with guage

Air- is throttle bypass, IAC open

Spark- do you have nice hot blue spark- tested with spark tester?

Compression- sure engine doesn't turn too easily? as in timing chain failure?

Year and engine size would be nice-my crystal ball says it is a 2.2L- with a sloppy timing chain-- but I've guessed wrong before.

it is good to give vehicle details....engine/yr/mileage etc...

squirt an ounce of fuel in the intake manifold see if it starts..take a plug wire off get old plug cranking engine blue spark ?

why is fuel pump/ filter good ? how did you determine this ? what was the pressures...also did the fuel pressure hold on ignition off cycle...

other items like a plugged exhaust can create a poor/no start..

the engine is a pump if it cannot exhaust it cannot suck in air/fuel...

need more vehicle info to see what other stuff or testing required

get DTC failure codes ..
