This was very helpful thanks🙏
if hard starting first thing in the am or after it’s been sitting awhile, but it eventually starts; check fuel pressure regulator. turn key to ON for four seconds, then OFF. repeat 3 times. on the last time, turn to START. If it starts right up, it’s the fuel pressure regulator. If it still cranks without starting, look elsewhere in fuel or ignition systems.
This happens to our car. First try, the engine only cranks. But upon pumping the fuel pump, it starts immediately. If ever it starts after turning ON and OFF 3 times, it won't happen again, or is there a part to be replaced?
Wow. This worked! 1993 Ford Ranger 4.0. Crank no start. Started up with starter fluid. Went out the next day and crank no start. I read this post so I went out to give it a try and low and behold it started when I cranked it after the third turn. You’re a genius. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
So do I need to replace the fuel pressure regulator or some sensor?
Spray Starter Fluid (ether) down the intake duct. If the engine runs on that, the spark system is working (crank sensor OK) so your problem is in the fuel system. Next step would be to verify fuel pressure at the supply to the injector rail (screw gage onto test port), then verify fuel injectors are pulsing. If a bad crank sensor, I think the engine controller doesn't even know the engine is turning over so won't spark or pulse injectors, and won't throw a code. If your fuel pump fails on the road, try kicking the fuel tank as you key on and off and it might start turning again to immediately drive home or to a shop. I took a bad one out once, gave it a little rap on the bench, and it then turned with 12 VDC applied (worn bearings can seize like that). Most cars with a MAP sensor, instead of MAF, will run fine with a vacuum leak but will idle too fast if the leak overwhelms the IAC valve (it is fully closed).
What if it doest run on start fluid ? Put it away when running. Car not starting anymore
Good test thank
You know what are you talking about.
Good infos
I appreciate how simple you make things for anybody, thank you!! ATM my car is having a hard start but I just watched it other video and is about to test it out! Thank you
You can do it!
My 2006 VW Beetle was doing this after sitting overnight. It was a 5$ sensor "coolant temperature sensor"
Of course after spending 215$ for nothing, this 5$ sensor was the issue 🎉🎉
What if your car cranks but doesn’t start with no codes on
Run the tests he laid out.
Thank you, this is very helpful. I would like to add my two cents here. My Mazda 3 was cranking but not starting, and the reason was a faulty mass air flow sensor. No code was recorded. But the culprit can be pinpointed by disconnecting the sensor and the car can actually fire using it's built-in dummy mode. Worth checking if the car hesitated to start, dropped in mpg, or had thrown a P0101 code recently
Very good reason .good video .thank❤
Thank you,nise video.
Thank U for this explanation
My 1993 Mazda b2600 does this when it rains or on really humid days/mornings… I’ve replaced the distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, checked plugs on harness and fuses.. I’m lost 😞 haven’t replaced the coil yet but it’s an aftermarket NGK one so it has been replaced before 🤷🏻♂️ also replaced the older battery with a red top Optima since I run a stereo system, the radiator fan, AC clutch fan and power windows directly to the battery. All on switches
Hello, nice vid. I have a daihatsu sirion 2 with K3-VE engine and it stopped running all of a sudden. It cranks, but no start. I checked all the fuses/relays, they seem good. I checked the crankshaftsensor and it's giving me close to 2000 ohms. So that seems ok. I tested the harness with ignition switched on, no voltage. Any idea what that could be? I still have to check to camshaftsensor though. Regards
Thank you so much brother ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just got a 2010 Sentra’s for $300 because the owner thought he blew the engine. Was cranking and not starting, lol I fixed it with a $12 pull a part air intake tube. The original intake tube had a big hole in it which messed up the air/fuel ratio and stopping the engine from starting lmao 🤣
I have a 2000 ford expedition didnt put oil in for a while and drove it and it got stuck in 4 wheel drive and i tried to make it to the store and it wasnt pulling right so it shut off then i crank it back on and it drove for like 4 to 5 mins then shut off again its barly cranking but wont start
Gracias amigo ! From Max polo
I just changed my catalytic converter on my Honda accord 2010 EX-L 2.4. It won’t start, it makes the sound of cranking but won’t start. Any ideas of what’s the issue?
Drove to inspection station. During test, 03 Ranger wouldn't start. 30 min later it started. Drove home. for 2 days it started. but i used my other vehicle. It hasn't started since then.
I have a 2007 ford explorer sport trac v8 .
About 2 months ago i was driving and out of nowhere it died on me and would not restart.
I have a screen that shows the battery and says check charging system.
I had it towed to my house.
( it trys to crank but won't start)
I have
- put in a new battery
- took off alternator and took it to auto parts store where it tested good
- checked basically every fuse under the hood and inside the vehicle
- checked every wire connection I can, and cleaned every possible connection point
- can hear fuel pump engage when turning the key to auxiliary mode
- looked for vacuumed leaks
And still the same result.
Trys to start but won't.
I also bought a code reader and it shows 0 codes.
Any thoughts?
I just spent $460 on getting a new fuel.pump installed, on my 06 f350.still not starting. I'll throw a lil bit of gas down intake and it starts and runs until that gas gets used up. Idk what else it vsm be
So my 1997 Chevy blazer I had a problem starting it this morning for work.. it’s parked on a slight upward slope it would crank over and over so I tried putting more gas in it now it won’t even crank or make any noise just one click and all lights work
Thanks for the video mate. I'm having a hard time with 2006 Nissan Note, It's battery died so I tried to jumpstart it, suddenly it just cranks and won't start. Could I have messed up the ignition system somehow? Some dude said that to me before, I think he could have been out to scam me. I just want confirmation from you, can I really mess up a car's ignition system by jumpstarting it with lower power rating jumper cables? It couldn't do a thing with 600W rated but it does crank with the big 3000W rated set.
Low quality jumper cable don’t provide enough amps which can cause voltage to drop under starting load. But it’s very unlikely that’s the cause. Did you check that your cars anti theft system wasn’t triggered by the dead battery?
If I eliminated the lower fog lights do do an accident and they had vaccume hoses going to them would that affect the car not starting
Plug the hoses with something, like a screw if small, or anything that won't get sucked into the engine if bigger. Make sure it won't get sucked into the engine.
Thank you very much for your short video clip 👉👍
I saw an ad recently for a code reader about a bluetooth one..would you recommend any ones? Also, what is a price range for an engine diagnostic done at a shop?
Blue driver for about $100 is very good and is great value for what it does. My opinion is to avoid the cheap $20 ones. I own cheap $20 ones, Blue driver, and a $1000 one.
The Bluetooth iOS ones are decent. I find them a headache with all the connection setup. But when they work they work!
Which $1000 one do you have and do you like it?
My car is doing this after staying some 3-4 days where we took it for body works auto spray..fuel, oil, is there, spark plugs ok...
My 2006 mini shuts off completly when i put it on reverse, all other gears works well it can drive forward. Tried starting it while on reverse but it just cranks but wont start. On neutral it starts ok. What might be the issue?
It cranks while in reverse?? Is it manual transmission?
Would older cars have the option for a code reader? Like 2008/2009?
Yes for sure. Odb2 interface has been on cars since the late 90’s and remains unchanged
All U.S. gasoline personal vehicles since 1996 have an OBDII port. Not all inexpensive OBDII readers work on all cars, especially newer cars (say 2000+). The $10 ones work on my 1996, but only a few cheapies work on my 2002 so need to pay ~$30. Newer vehicles also have additional codes you can read.
I have 2013 terrain 2.4 this morning my wife trying to star the car an the key get stuck she can't get out the key the car dont have any signs of life no lights nothing i dont know whats going on 😢
Mine does it sometimes for just 1 time. Then i turn off ignition, start up and it works fine. There’s no weather sign for it.. but can anyone help me out? I changed the coils already
My 94 Camaro is having a hard start, and it began right after the new starter was put in. The kid added washers to seat it instead of putting the new bolts in so I'm wondering if that would cause the hard start. If it doesnt I'll check what you suggested in this video.
Thanks for your knowledge
Can't find video for clicking but no start you mentioned. Walmart is currently bending me over because I charge the battery becauae I can't afford a tow
A click could be a bad starter
@@youtubeuser1110 already resolved. Bad battery they didn't load test it was WAY under
Oh my God I have same problem with my Fiat panda 1.2 petrol making nois but not starting
I have a 05 dodge ram and replaced my spark plugs and coild packs i have 8 coil packs and 16 spark plugs why 😭
My 2008 saturn vue wont start cra ks but wont start please help me this is my home
My car Rav4 cracks but not starting,
Please what could be the problem.

The only ideas I have are in that video!
4:40am I’m tryin turn my truck to go work that’s 45 mins away . beyond stress
What if my car cranks no start and no codes on dash
My 2002 BMW X5 4.4i it said -STOP Engine Oil Levels- and then it died then it started back up nd started studdering like it was bad Plugs and hasn’t started back just cranks no start please help I been stranded for 2 months now without a vehicle
You ran the car with no oil, so most likely has a bad engine
Do you know What BMW stands for? Big Money Waste. Sorry bro you need a new engine.
aawww, u tore it up
Indeed
Change battery, switch of, start again no starting vw polo 2015
Can you tell me if the 2016 Corolla has an inertial switch? I crashed the Corolla and now it cranks and doesn't start
You’d have to do some research but pretty much every car has them.
Check your owners manual. It should tell you where it’s located.
What about immobilizer or steering angle sensor?
Yep. Mentioned at the end of video.

Yes!
mobile mechanic. you missed loads.
Well, maybe if you mobile mechanics didn't charge so much, we wouldn't be here.
@@johnsonwithat2322 jealousy that where your statement comes from. Jealous our path involved lots of cash and you took wrong path. Dude to be a good mechanic you have to eat sleep and poop thinking about mechanics. We are worth the money we charge.
@jamesbarratt593 Jealousy? Unless you own your own shop, I earn more than any honest working mechanic (something I doubt you are). So, just keep your little streak of scamming uneducated people of their money, you need it.
I sleep easy knowing I'm the only one touching my car. Have a good day.
@@jamesbarratt593Did I touch a nerve? Nothing I said has anything to do with jealousy. All I said was if you guys didn't overcharge, maybe we wouldn't be here watching these videos.
