Check the compression. If the compression is low the vehicle will be difficult to start. If that's not it you probably have something wrong with the injectors. Check the temperature sensor, air flow sensor and anything else that might be involved. If you can find a code scanner that works with your vehicle, that could be a big help in finding the problem.
Hello. i would suggest that the car needs atuneup. There are a few cheaper options to try first. Replace the spark plugs. If it has never been done it needs it anyways. That might be all it needs. Replacing the distributor cap and rotor are a good idea too. Even the spark plug wires. If you haven't used injector cleaner also put a bottle of it in next time you fill up with fuel. I used a set of NGK TR55GP plugs in mine and it starts beautifully now. Cost me about $20 for the 4 plugs. They are an iridium tip plug which helps on start up.
To start a diesel engine in cold weather, make sure you have a reliable battery that is fully charged. Use a block heater to warm the engine, and consider using a fuel additive to prevent the diesel fuel from gelling. Crank the engine with the glow plugs on for a few seconds before starting.
Locked rotor current is the current drawn by a motor when the rotor is prevented from turning, usually occurring during a fault condition. Starting current, on the other hand, is the initial surge of current required to start the motor and overcome inertia. Locked rotor current is typically higher than starting current.
get under the car and do it from there. you will have to put socket in first then the extension, then the rachet. that is the only way i did it. I just got done. On the left side (standing at the front facing the back) remove all of the air intake stuff, 4 bolts. On the right side, remove the washer fluid tank, 2 bolts and 2 connectors. Took me about 25 minutes including new plug wires.
A generator needs some kind of engine to drive it, it won't start by itself.
Bad coil? Bad coil wire?
check and see if u have a hole in your muffler
Check the coil and replace if bad. Should fix the problem.
ccheck the crank position senson and coil pack's
Check to see if it getting spark/fuel Check rotor
no spark to plugs
Remove all spark plugs, turn the engine by hand and get the #1 spark plug at TDC on the compression stroke. Install the distributor so the rotor is pointing to the # 1 plug position on distributor cap. Start the engine and set the time it with a timing light.Remove all spark plugs, turn the engine by hand and get the #1 spark plug at TDC on the compression stroke.

Start with a good tune up, new plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor, fuel and air filter. Clean the idle air control and inside the throtle body, and run some injector cleaner through it.
I'd definitely try they cao and rotor. If I have a bad distributor and rotor in my Z28, it will almost never kick over.
try to get a new ignition rotor
could use a tune up, plugs, rotor cap, wiring, etc. Use hi octane fuel..
Check/replace Rotor Check for spark at plugs
