Re: car refuse to start

does it have an alarm? you might disconnect it and try, sometimes immobilizer alarms go faulty and cause a nostart. other than that, compression fuel spark and timing. test em all. every part.

Now to the original question... does it have fuel pressure and are the spark plugs actually firing?

Re: car refuse to start

the car has fuel pressure and everything. it's being worked on now. i bought a crank angle sensor and i am hoping that that would fix the problem. it's turning over and everything but the car just won't start. it's it's not the crank angle sensor the guy said i would have to get the computer checked.

thanks for the comments

Re: car refuse to start

well it was the crank angle sensor. the crank angle sensor is basically a distributor. the spark plugs weren't getting any current so the engine wouldn't start. I replaced it and the car is fine
