First, check to see if any computer codes are stored. With a scanner check the reference voltage to the throttle body sensor and coolant temperature sensor. If the TBS is reading 5 volts then the computer will think the system is flooded and not fire the injectors. If the CTS is bad the computer will think it is 40 below and flood the engine. Also be sure that the plugs are good and the air filter is not plugged. How much pressure is in the fuel rail? 50-60 psi is running pressure.

SOURCE: Engine cranks but will not fire.

check to see if you are getting a spark from the plugs. Just pull the plug and connect it back to plug wire. Then with gloves ground of that plug at the threds. Have someone try to start it only allowing 3-4 repatisions, and see if you have a spark. If you dont have a spark, then it would be eaither be the sparkplugs, plug wiers, or your coil is bad.

SOURCE: replaced alternator, now car won't start

disconnecting the battery on an alternator is a no no. that was how they used to ck generators but an alternator can be damaged with no load in the circuit. Try changing out your MAF sensor. 1st sensor coming out of the air cleaner. good luck.

SOURCE: 2005 saturn ion 2. Will not start. Engine will

the first thing to do is scan the computer for codes,also when the module was installed did you clean the mounting area good? the next thing i would look at would be the crank sensor, also theres a reprogram on these cars,the dealer needs to install or update a computer progranm on some of these, you would have to call with the vin #, this doesnt affect your nostart condition, its just something you should have done,

SOURCE: car cranks but no start. no spark. crank sensor

Spark could be its only problem, you say the ignition module is okay? Are you talking about the ignition coil, mounted at the end of the cylinder head? That is not the ignition module, the module is located on the left front fenderwell in front of the strut tower, small black rectangular shaped box about a half-inch thick. Have you checked the timing belt? Hope this is helpful, let me know.

My 2003 jeep liberty cranks but pops and doesn't turn over

First we need to see what's missing spark or fuel Do This, remove one spark plug wire then insert a screwdriver into the spark plug boot then hold the metal part of the screwdriver 1/4-1/2 in. away from a metal part of the engine while someone cranks the engine over while you look for spark. If OK.
Check for fuel, locate the fuel injection test port on the engine fuel rail Then unscrew the cap and depress the schreader valve, now have someone turn the switch to on and fuel should spray out.
this should give you an idea where to look the fuel pump may be your problem but the fuel test will locate it. Just a note: Do the tests in the order given otherwise you may have a fire.

Our 7.5 L 1988 F350 cranks and won't start,

Does the rotor turn when you crank it? If you hold the coil wire close to engine ground, you see the spark jump when you crank it? Did you check proper fuel pressure, use a gage and you have fuel injector pulse?
Any applicable trouble codes?

Engine cranks wont start

First thing I would check it the fuel pressure at the rail. You can spray some starting fluid or carb cleaner into throttle body. If it want to fire it is most likely the fuel pump. If it doesn't try to fire it is most likely ignition related. Good luck

Saturn sl2 problems

Have you checked the fuel injectors? Fuel filter? Fuel pump? Sounds to me like you have a fuel delivery problem.

Try the following: remove the airbox and spray some starter fluid into the throttle body while someone else cranks the motor. If it starts for a second and dies, then you KNOW you have a fuel delivery problem. If it doesn't change and still won't start, then the problem is either a bad sensor somewhere (crank position sensor, maybe?) or no compression.

Why won't my 1997 Saturn SL start?

you have spark at the plugs ..thats something

spray stay you mug
into the throttle body see if the motor will cough

tank needs draining and have fresh fuel
fuel pump has a filter and fuel relay

crack the fuel line connection to the rail to see if there is fuel reaching the rail and correct pressure

if sitting 6 years.. not being run regularly
do a compression test
lifters may be stuck
rings may have lost tension

Our 2003 Saturn L200 turns over, but won't start...like it's not getting gas. This just started happening and only after we've already driven it that day. The first time it happened was...

Check fuel pressure at the injector rail. If good, suspect crankshaft position sensor--when it fails to start, check for sparks by pulling an ignition wire off the coils and holding it close to the coil with an insulated tool while someone cranks the engine. If no sparks, replace the sensor.

Hello: The number one injector could be stuck open. to check you will have to remove fuel rail with injectors attached, energize fuel pump with key off and see if #1 injector drips/sprays fuel. YOU COULD ALSO SWAP #1 AND #2 injector and see if the misfire goes to #2 cylinder.

Darien, just because it's getting good spark at the spark plug wires doesn't mean that the spark plugs are firing. Now let's get your girlfriend happy again, Remove those spark plugs, check the center electrode and see if they are worn down, if they are worn down, change all 4, Good luck, Gary

Hard to start once warmed up

check fuel pressure at the rails and check the fuel check regulator in the rails.
