Default My car won't start ...

Q: My car won't start ... how do I troubleshoot it?

A: There are some excellent troubleshooting flow charts here:

http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/main...e/nostart.html

Also, check the crank sensor for breakage/dirty/misalignment if you aren't seeing spark or fuel. If you have replaced the sensor, be sure to replace it using the right slot. The correct slot is closest the crank sensor connector (closest to the engine).

Check the cam sensor by removing the cap and making sure that the "wheel" isn't loose or "wobbly". If it turns freely by hand, you have a problem.

Make sure you have fuel pressure at the rail. Listen for the fuel pump to prime when turning on the key.
