you need three things spark fuel and compression if one goes out or away it will never run you need to find out witch one is gone if spark is gone you need to look at electrical if fuel you need to look at fuel system be it pump or filter or electrical if it is compression it could be timing belt or chain depending on the motor i know kind or vived but its a good start for you
my 02 is at the dealer for this problem. i was driving and it died a couple times and then wont start did you have any problems before this? will respond with answer tomorrow on problem.
There are a few things that would make a Chevy van not start. The first things to check would be the battery, the alternator, and the starter.
dead battery, defective starter motor, defective ignition switch. Or it can be loose or corroded wiring.
As you did not say which vehicle this can only be a general answer Unlikely that a faulty coil would cause an engine to knock. Very possible it would cause bucking, if the coil is failing there would be a lack of spark. This would cause bucking/missfire, which may cause the engine to shake on it's mountings possibly causing a knock from contact with the vehicle frame.
if your vehicle has computers, this can cause check engine light to come on,as a coolant leak ends up sending trouble message to computer
Probably not. A plugged cat would cause a loss of power and the check engine light may come on depending on what year and model vehicle you have.
Possible clogged fuel filter or bad fuel pump.
THATS usally cause by the engine using oil-because of bad oil rings etc.
I would bet no, it did not. The 1973 Oldsmobile engine was painted gold and the Pontiac engine was not.
hard fault code What is a hard fault code?
no gas entering piston chambers or no spark in the spark plugs. I assume the starter is spinning the engine?
where would the spark plugs at on a Oldsmobile 1989 engine
troubleshoot the coolant on a 1999 oldsmobile intruge
The RPMs and the engine of the 2001 Oldsmobile Alero might surge if there is a problem with the oxygen or fuel sensor. It may also surge if there is a problem with the fuel injectors or the fuel filter.
Probably because you need to check the engine.
injectors
well with any vehicle if the engine is accelerating usually its a linkage problem meaning your linkage is getting stuck somewhere check that first
Depends on the engine. I believe they are different body styles so it's unlikely that the sheet metal would swap.
dead battery, blown fusable link, severely cracked or corroded cables. especially check battery ground to chassis and engine.
Chevy it could be a 301 oldsmobile engine or a Chevy 289 and ford it would be a 302 boss engine
