| Question: |
Hi. It stalled & will not run. It turns over great, lots of battery power. I checked spark plugs & they all have spark. i tested them in the plug wire holder & set beside the engine. i check the fuel supply at the tube that goes into the inj rail & fuel does come out. i am not sure what the pressure is, but i been told about 40-45 psi. (i dont have a gauge) so i was going to replace the fuel filter, but first i tried squirting fuel into the throttle chamber, while turning it over & it still would not start, or stumble or even hiccup. I checked the fuel injectors by listening to them & they all were clicking. so the next thing i did i took out the spark plugs again & put a little fuel into the chambers & put the plugs back in. When i turned it over, it did not even stumble, it just turns over. i then checked the compression and all 4 cylinders were between 150-160 psi. I am now at a loss. I hope you can help. Thanks |
| Answer: | Kevin, You may want to check the ignition timing. If the computer detects the timing is off, it will prevent the car from starting. This can be caused by a faulty belt, malfunctioning crank angle sensor or even a bad computer.

your ECU for damage and replace if necessary. |
