Subaru won't start .
\nAn engine requires 3 things to start and run. Air, Fuel, and Spark (assuming it is not diesel). The first thing to do is determine what is missing. Normally Air is not the problem unless the air cleaner is so plugged up it can't get air. (extremely rare) A dirty filter norm…ally allows the engine to start then run rich. Look for black smoke out of your tail pipe.\n.
\nFirst check for spark, you can do this by removing a wire from one of the plugs and attaching it to a spare plug laying against ground. The old "let's see if it will arc to ground" method can screw up some of the new electronic systems. If you have no spark, pull the distributor cap and turn over the engine. If the rotor is not moving, you have a broken timing belt. Since there are two timing belts on a Subaru, you have just checked one of them. If the rotor is moving and no spark, it is time to get knowledgeable help.\n.
\nNext is fuel. Easy to check, get a can of starting fluid from your auto parts store. Remove the air cleaner and spray a shot into the the carb, or if fuel injected, the throttle body. Crank over and if it runs momentarily it is a fuel problem and time to check the fuel pump, hoses, and crash sensor that can sometimes get tripped. It's job is to cut off the fuel in case of an accident and can get tripped by packages or a wayward knee.\n.
\nIf every thing else appears to be present air, fuel, and spark it is time to check the other timing belt. Again a knowledgeable friend can help you with this.\n.
\nIf you have not changed the timing belts in the last 50,000 miles, you need to. Many Subaru engines are "interference" type engines. That means that when the belt breaks, the valves can come in contact with the pistons creating severe cash drain problems.\n.
\nI know you asked what time it is and got the history of clocks, but the question has no one size fits all answer.\n.

This answer will work for many car. It could be a few different things. Here is what you can try-- *If key won't turn, turn the steering wheel harder to left or right, even if you think it's already turned far as it will go. Once steering wheel is unlocked, the key should turn. * make sure its al…l the way in park or neutral *older cars have to have the gas pedal mashed(some new ones do too) *bump automatic gear shift with fist while turning key *next I'd try the battery and here is your warning*****DO NOT SMOKE AROUND A BATTERY BECAUSE THEY CAN BLOW UP, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT HAPPEN BUT IT IS POSSIBLE***** *clean the battery terminals if there is corrosion(looks like blue sand) on them. Use baking soda and water as cleanser. *move the battery slightly forwards and backwards. *move/wiggle the battery cables a little. * If the starter has gone out, you can get under the car and hit it the starter with a hammer. If it starts afterwards, then you know its the starter. The hammer solution could work just 1 - 3 times. After the 3rd time, I would not trust it to work again. It's not likely but the starter could last years after one hammer hit. I need to go. I'll try to add more later. If you are having problems with starting your car, the car stoles on you as you drive or come to a stop sing, the serive engine lights are on, then you have a problem with 2 sensors, camshaft & crankshaft. You need to replace them both. If you take to a mechaniv shop or dealeriship it will cost you between $300-$500. I and a bunch of my friends had same problem. I fixed my car and my friends car, and then friends of my friends started to call and I began to fix this problem for them at 50% cost less than of a shop/dealer. If you live in Toronto or GTA, please call me now at 647-831-2102 . The car must be cold in order to work on it, so it is better that I come to your place. It is a dangerous problem and you should fix it right away. Call now 647-831-2102 Terry (MORE)

Why won't my car start?
You need to isolate the problem. Simply making the statement: "My car won't start. What's wrong?" will not result in many people wanting to give you any help. (Unless you're an attractive young lady, stranded on the side of the road! ;) Any number of things can contribute to your car not starting… up: 1. No gasoline in the tank 2. Dead Battery 3. Missing or worn out spark plugs and/or spark plug wires 4. Defective fuel pump 5. No oil in the crankcase (siezed engine) 6. Loose nut behind the steering wheel (Operator error) 7. Defective starter motor 8. Not depressing the clutch in a manual shift car 9. Transmission selector not in neutral or park in an automatic shift car The list goes on and on. These are just a few things to check. MORE INFORMATION I can guarantee that it's electrical or mechanical. Sorry to sound flippant, but the reality is, there are quite a few problems that can cause the problem; without additional information there is just no way to know for certain. To help isolate the problem: try using a little starting fluid, see if you can start the engine briefly with that. If the engine isn't getting fuel the starting fluid will let it run briefly, and it will verify that everything else is working properly. Once you do that you have eliminated a whole list of other potential problems. If the starting fluid is used properly and the engine doesn't start, check for spark. Pull a plug wire and connect it to a spare sparkplug. (hint: it doesn't even need to be a sparkplug that fits your car) Have a friend try to start the car and watch the sparkplug to verify that you're getting a good, strong spark. If not, you can go from there. If you have spark AND starting fluid didn't tell you anything, run a compression test. Poor compression indicates something SERIOUS inside the engine. The point is, you need to isolate the problem. Simply making the statement: "My car won't start. What's wrong?" will not result in many people wanting to give you any help, unless you're an attractive young lady, stranded on the side of the road. Well there could be numerous reasons why your car wont start, but if its turning over or ticking it may be your battery, or check your starter and or fuses! (MORE)

Car won't start morning?
There are several reasons why an engine may be difficult to start when it's cold. 1. Carbureted engines required that the choke assembly be properly adjusted to accommodate better cold starts. 2. Injected engines need accurate readings from the temperature sensor to make sure the engine starts p…roperly when cold. Other parts of the computer control system need to be function properly as well, and depending on the manufacturer there are different ways of dealing with cold starts. 3. Worn engines often loose compression. Once the compression is diminished the engine will be more difficult to start. 4. Stale fuel, weak fuel pump or a faulty fuel pressure regulator can contribute to starting problems. 5. Faulty ignition components can result in a weak spark. If the spark is not strong enough the engine will have difficulty starting. (MORE)

92 4Runner won't start?
First decide if its fuel or spark oriented. Pull the spark plug wire from one of the plugs and put a screw driver in it. Then lay it down near a metal piece and try to start the motor. If it has a spark then the problem is with the fuel system. If no spark then work on the electrical. Check cables f…uses and components for power. If there is spark then the fuel pump needs to be checked first. Inside the engine compartment is a diagnostic connection on the passenger side. Open it and find the one for the fuel pump. It starts with a F. Try to start the motor and see if you have 12 volts. If not then check the fuses and relay in the box next to the connector marked EFI. With the key on, pull the relay in and out and you should hear it click. If it doesn't its bad or not getting power. Swap it with another one in the same area and confirm it does the same thing. Check the fuse next to it also. If this all looks good then there is a relay by the fuse box that is the open circuit relay. Check this and see if it checks OK. Swapping it with the one from the EFI area is OK to do. (MORE)

Why won't my 1996 Camry start it cranks but won't start?
Pull off a plug wire and hold it 1/4 inch from the engine. Have someone crank it and see if you have fire. If so then spray a very small amount of carburetor cleaner in the air intake. If it runs for a few seconds then you have a fuel issue. Replace the fuel filter and retry. If it does not run you …need to check for power and ground at the fuel pump. If there is no spark at spark plugs, pull out Distributor cap, you will find Distributor rotor, pull it out, you will find a crack or burn on the other side, replace the rotor, put everything back, it should work. (this is just in case of no spark at spark plugs), try it and tell us what is going on. (MORE)

Why won't your Briggs stratton start?
That's a tough question as there can be many of reasons WHY a small engine such as a Briggs & Stratton wont start. The usual problem on most small engine's such as this is a dirty carburetor meaning the fuel jets in the carburetor are clogged. Eaither that or if it is a diaphragm type carburetor, th…e diaphragm which acts as a fuel pump on small engine's gets hard because gasoline, expecially todays gasoline with the harsh E-10 and alcohol additives, eventually dry's this out to nothing short of the similar stiffness of cardboard, thus no longer can pump fuel. That is only one reason why a small engine wont start but 90% of the time, it is carburetor trouble. Another symptom can be a bad spark plug, a bad ignition condencer (engine dating pre-1985) causing a weak spark or in the case of an electronic ignition engine, (newer than 1985) a bad ignition coil. If you have hit something hard and/or the engine has taken an immidiate shock and died, you may also have a sheared flywheel key which will throw ignition timing off thus creating a "no start" situation. All above symptoms are easily repaired though if you are mechanically, somewhat mechanically inclined or even a fast learner. How about dirty fuel? I am trying to get my daughter's lawn mower running with a 6.5 HP B&S engine. She didn't run the engine dry last year and there was a combination of varnishy gas, water and gum in the float bowl. After cleaning everything up, it would start, but not run and then quit starting. I removed the spark plug and it still smells like varnish so I will drain the tank anew and put in new fuel. Next step is to drain the tank anew and replace with clean fuel. (MORE)

Diagnosis: Engine Won't Start or Run .
by Larry Carley c2007 .
WHEN AN ENGINE WON'T START .
Every engine requires four basic ingredients to start: sufficient cranking speed, good compression, adequate ignition voltage (with correct timing) and fuel (a relatively rich air/fuel mixture initia…lly). So any time an engine fails to start, you can assume it lacks one of these four essential ingredients. But which one?.
To find you, you need to analyze the situation. If the engine won't crank, you are probably dealing with a starter or battery problem. Has the starter been acting up? (unusual noises, slow cranking, etc.). Is this the first time the engine has failed to crank or start, or has it happened before? Have the starter, battery or battery cables been replaced recently? Might be a defective part. Has the battery been running down? Might be a charging problem. Have there been any other electrical problems? The answers to these questions should shed some light on what might be causing the problem..
If an engine cranks but refuses to start, it lacks ignition, fuel or compression. Was it running fine but quit suddenly? The most likely causes here would be a failed fuel pump, ignition module or broken overhead cam timing belt. Has the engine been getting progressively harder to start? If yes, consider the engine's maintenance and repair history..
STARTING YOUR DIAGNOSIS .
What happens when you attempt to start the engine? If nothing happens when you turn the key, "http://www.aa1car.com/library/2003/us20310.htm" to determine its state of charge. Many starters won't do a thing unless there is at least 10 volts available from the battery. A low battery does not necessarily mean the battery is the problem, though. The battery may have been run down by prolonged cranking while trying to start the engine. Or, the battery's low state of charge may be the result of a charging system problem. Either way, the battery needs to be recharged and tested..
If the battery is low, the next logical step might be to try starting the engine with another battery or a charger. If the engine cranks normally and roars to life, you can assume the problem was a dead battery, or a charging problem that allowed the battery to run down. If the battery accepts a charge and tests okay, checking the output of the charging system should help you identify any problems there..
A "http://www.aa1car.com/library/2002/cm10220.htm" that is working properly should produce a charging voltage of somewhere around 14 volts at idle with the lights and accessories off. When the engine is first started, the charging voltage should rise quickly to about two volts above base battery voltage, then taper off, leveling out at the specified voltage. The exact charging voltage will vary according to the battery's state of charge, the load on the electrical system, and temperature. The lower the temperature, the higher the charging voltage. The higher the temperature, the lower the charging voltage. The charging range for a typical alternator might be 13.9 to 14.4 volts at 80 degrees F, but increase to 14.9 to 15.8 volts at subzero temperatures..
If the charging system is not putting out the required voltage, is it the alternator or the regulator? Full fielding the alternator to bypass the regulator should tell you if it is working correctly. Or, take the alternator to a parts store and have it bench tested. If the charging voltage goes up when the regulator is bypassed, the problem is the regulator (or the engine computer in the case of computer-regulated systems). If there is no change in output voltage, the alternator is the culprit..
Many times one or more diodes in the alternator rectifier assembly will have failed, causing a drop in the unit's output. The alternator will still produce current, but not enough to keep the battery fully charged. This type of failure will show up on an oscilloscope as one or more missing humps in the alternator waveform. Most charging system analyzers can detect this type of problem..
ENGINE CRANKING PROBLEMS .
If the engine won't crank or cranks slowly when you attempt to start or "http://www.aa1car.com/library/battery_safety.htm" the engine (and the battery is fully charged), you can focus your attention on the starter circuit. A quick way to diagnose cranking problems is to switch on the headlights and watch what happens when you attempt to start the engine. If the headlights go out, a poor battery cable connection may be strangling the flow of amps. All battery cable connections should be checked and cleaned along with the engine-to-chassis ground straps..
Measuring the "http://www.aa1car.com/library/voltage_drop_testing.htm" across connections is a good way to find excessive resistance. A voltmeter check of the cable connections should show no more than 0.1 volt drop at any point, and no more than 0.4 volts for the entire starter circuit. A higher voltage drop would indicate excessive resistance and a need for cleaning or tightening..
Slow cranking can also be caused by undersized battery cables. Some cheap replacement cables have small gauge wire encased in thick insulation. The cables look the same size as the originals on the outside, but inside there is not enough wire to handle the amps..
If the headlights continue to shine brightly when you attempt to start the engine and nothing happens (no cranking), voltage is not reaching the starter. The problem here is likely an open or misadjusted park/neutral safety switch, a bad ignition switch, or a faulty starter relay or solenoid. Fuses and fusible links should also be checked because overloads caused by continuous cranking or jump starting may have blown one of these protective devices..
If the starter or solenoid clicks but nothing else happens when you attempt to start the engine, there may not be enough amps to spin the starter. Or the "http://www.aa1car.com/library/1999/cm119948.htm" may be bad. A poor battery cable, solenoid or ground connection, or high resistance in the solenoid itself may be the problem. A voltage check at the solenoid will reveal if battery voltage is passing through the ignition switch circuit. If the solenoid or relay is receiving battery voltage but is not closing or passing enough amps from the battery to spin the starter motor, the solenoid ground may be bad or the contacts in the solenoid may be worn, pitted or corroded. If the starter cranks when the solenoid is bypassed, a new solenoid is needed, not a starter..
Most engines need a cranking speed of 200 to 300 rpm to start, so if the starter is weak and can't crank the engine fast enough to build compression, the engine won't start. In some instances, a weak starter may crank the engine fast enough but prevent it from starting because it draws all the power from the battery and does not leave enough for the injectors or ignition system..
If the lights dim and there is little or no cranking when you attempt to start the engine, the starter may be locked up, dragging or suffering from high internal resistance, worn brushes, shorts or opens in the windings or armature. A starter current draw test will tell you if the starter is pulling too many amps..
A good starter will normally draw 60 to 150 amps with no load on it, and up to 200 amps or more while cranking the engine. The no load amp draw depends on the rating of the starter while the cranking amp draw depends on the displacement and compression of the engine. Always refer to the OEM specs for the exact amp values. Some "high torque" GM starters, for example, may have a no load draw of up to 250 amps. Toyota starters on four-cylinder engines typically draw 130 to 150 amps, and up to 175 amps on six-cylinder engines..
An unusually high current draw and low free turning speed or cranking speed typically indicates a shorted armature, grounded armature or field coils, or excessive friction within the starter itself (dirty, worn or binding bearings or bushings, a bent armature shaft or contact between the armature and field coils). The magnets in permanent magnet starters can sometimes break or separate from the housing and drag against the armature..
A starter that does not turn at all and draws a high current may have a ground in the terminal or field coils, or a frozen armature. On the other hand, the start may be fine but can't crank the engine because the engine is seized or hydrolocked. So before you condemn the starter, try turning the engine over by hand. Won't budge? Then the engine is probably locked up..
A starter that won't spin at all and draws zero amps has an open field circuit, open armature coils, defective brushes or a defective solenoid. Low free turning speed combined with a low current draw indicates high internal resistance (bad connections, bad brushes, open field coils or armature windings)..
If the starter motor spins but fails to engage the flywheel, the cause may be a weak solenoid, defective starter drive or broken teeth on the flywheel. A starter drive that is on the verge of failure may engage briefly but then slip. Pull the starter and inspect the drive. It should turn freely in one direction but not in the other. A bad drive will turn freely in both directions or not at all..
ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START .
When the engine cranks normally but won't start, you need to check ignition, fuel and "http://www.aa1car.com/library/compression.htm" . Ignition is easy enough to check with a spark tester or by positioning a plug wire near a good ground. No spark? The most likely causes would be a failed ignition module, distributor pickup or "http://www.aa1car.com/library/crank_sensors.htm" ..
A tool such as an Ignition System Simulator can speed the diagnosis by quickly telling you if the ignition module and coil are capable of producing a spark with a simulated timing input signal. If the simulated signal generates a spark, the problem is a bad distributor pickup or crankshaft position sensor. No spark would point to a bad module or coil. Measuring ignition coil primary and secondary resistance can rule out that component as the culprit..
Module problems as well as pickup problems are often caused by loose, broken or corroded wiring terminals and connectors. Older GM HEI ignition modules are notorious for this. If you are working on a distributorless ignition system with a Hall effect crankshaft position sensor, check the sensor's reference voltage (VRef) and ground. The sensor must have 5 volts or it will remain permanently off and not generate a crank signal (which should set a fault code). Measure VRef between the sensor power supply wire and ground (use the engine block for a ground, not the sensor ground circuit wire). Don't see 5 volts? Then check the sensor wiring harness for loose or corroded connectors. A poor ground connection will have the same effect on the sensor operation as a bad VRef supply. Measure the voltage drop between the sensor ground wire and the engine block. More than a 0.1 voltage drop indicates a bad ground connection. Check the sensor mounting and wiring harness..
If a Hall effect crank sensor has power and ground, the next thing to check would be its output. With nothing in the sensor window, the sensor should be "on" and read 5 volts (VRef). Measure the sensor D.C. output voltage between the sensor signal output wire and ground (use the engine block again, not the ground wire). When the engine is cranked, the sensor output should drop to zero every time the shutter blade, notch, magnetic button or gear tooth passes through the sensor. No change in voltage would indicate a bad sensor that needs to be replaced..
If the primary side of the ignition system seems to be producing a trigger signal for the coil but the voltage is not reaching the plugs, a visual inspection of the coil tower, distributor cap, rotor and plug wires should be made to identify any defects that might be preventing the spark from reaching its intended destination..
ENGINE CRANKS AND HAS SPARK BUT WILL NOT START .
If you see a good hot spark when you crank the engine, but it won't start, check for fuel. The problem might be a "http://www.aa1car.com/library/fuel_pump_diagnose.htm" ..
On an older engine with a "http://www.aa1car.com/library/carburetor.htm" , pump the throttle linkage and look for fuel squirting into the carburetor throat. No fuel? Possible causes include a "http://www.aa1car.com/library/fuel_pump_mechanical.htm" , stuck needle valve in the carburetor, a plugged fuel line or fuel filter..
On newer vehicles with electronic fuel injection, connect a pressure gauge to the fuel rail to see if there is any pressure in the line. No pressure when the key is on? Check for a failed fuel pump, pump relay, fuse or wiring problem. On Fords, don't forget to check the inertia safety switch which is usually hidden in the trunk or under a rear kick panel. The switch shuts off the fuel pump in an accident. So if the switch has been tripped, resetting it should restore the flow of fuel to the engine. Lack of fuel can also be caused by obstructions in the fuel line or pickup sock inside the tank. And don't forget to check the fuel gauge. It is amazing how many no starts are caused by an empty fuel tank..
There is also the possibility that the fuel in the tank may be heavily contaminated with water or overloaded with alcohol. If the tank was just filled, "http://www.aa1car.com/library/us10325.htm" might be causing the problem..
On EFI-equipped engines, fuel pressure in the line does not necessarily mean the fuel is being injected into the engine. Listen for clicking or buzzing that would indicate the injectors are working. No noise? Check for voltage and ground at the injectors. A defective ECM may not be driving the injectors, or the EFI power supply relay may have called it quits. Some EFI-systems rely on input from the camshaft position sensor to generate the injector pulses. Loss of this signal could prevent the system from functioning..
Even if there is fuel and it is being delivered to the engine, a massive "http://www.aa1car.com/library/vacleak.htm" could be preventing the engine from starting. A large enough vacuum leak will lean out the air/fuel ratio to such an extent that the mixture won't ignite. An EGR valve that is stuck wide open, a disconnected PCV hose, loose vacuum hose for the power brake booster, or similar leak could be the culprit. Check all vacuum connections and listen for unusual sucking noises while cranking..
ENGINE HAS FUEL AND SPARK BUT WILL NOT START .
An engine that has fuel and spark, no serious vacuum leaks and cranks normally should start. The problem is "http://www.aa1car.com/library/compression.htm" . If it is an overhead cam engine with a rubber timing belt, a "http://www.aa1car.com/library/ar594.htm" would be the most likely cause especially if the engine has a lot of miles on it. Most OEMs recommend replacing the OHC timing belt every 60,000 miles for preventative maintenance, but many belts are never changed. Eventually they break, and when they do the engine stops dead in its tracks. And in engines that lack sufficient valve-to-piston clearance as many import engines and some domestic engines do, it also causes extensive damage (bent valves and valvetrain components & sometimes cracked pistons)..
Overhead cams can also bind and break if the head warps due to severe overheating, or the cam bearings are starved for lubrication. A cam seizure may occur during a subzero cold start if the oil in the crankcase is too thick and is slow to reach the cam (a good reason for using 5W-20 or 5W-30 for winter driving). High rpm cam failure can occur if the oil level is low or the oil is long overdue for a change..
With high mileage pushrod engines, the timing chain may have broken or slipped. Either type of problem can be diagnosed by doing a compression check and/or removing a valve cover and watching for valve movement when the engine is cranked..
A "http://www.aa1car.com/library/gasket_failure.htm" may prevent an engine from starting if the engine is a four cylinder with two dead cylinders. But most six or eight cylinder engines will sputter to life and run roughly even with a blown gasket. The gasket can, however, allow coolant to leak into the cylinder and hydrolock the engine..

Snowblower won't start and won't prime?
There could be a few problems. Start with disconnecting the primingline from the carburetor and hold near your ear and push thepriming bulb. If no air comes through there's a hole in the primingline or bulb. If that's not the problem then make sure the gas lineis not clogged. Drain the gas from the …tank and carb, straighten awire coat hangar and run it through the gas line to see if it isclear. If there is no problems with the priming line and bulb andthe gas line then it's most likely the float in the carb that isnot working properly. The easy way is to spray carb cleaner in thecarb and hope this frees the float. If the machine still doesn'tstart then you have to take apart the carb and clean it. MAKE SUREthat you take special attention to how the "pin" is attached to thefloat when you take apart the carb. Clean all openings with carbcleaner and Q-Tips and use a sewing needle to clean small openings.If this doesn't work then you're obliged to order a new carb online. There not expensive. Mine cost me under $30.00 for a Toro521. (MORE)
