What would cause a 98 Oldsmobile intrigue from starting?
no gas entering piston chambers or no spark in the spark plugs. I assume the starter is spinning the engine?
Why won't a 4 hp Briggs and stratton rotertillar start has good spark has compression has good gas starting fluid did not help in piston nor air intake?
I assume you checked for spark by removing the spark plug wire and tested for spark against ground. Although you may have spark through the plug wire, the spark plug could be bad and the spark is not being conducted to ignite the gasoline - change the spark plug. Another reason would be a sheared keyway on the flywheel that would cause it to be out of time. Another possibility is a shorted kill switch wire. Hope this info helps.
Why does my dodge ram 1500 not start with a new battery and starting fluid The thing turns over just fine?
You may not have any spark, you need to check for spark with a spark tester..If you do not have spark it could be caused by your spark control modulel,bad coil ect.find out why you have no spark...Have you been having problems before with the truck turning off or stalling, prior to this? If so then i would suspect the spark control module.
Would loose spark plugs result in trouble starting the car?
Loose spark plugs would result in a loss of compression. This would make starting difficult and if the engine ran at all it would do so badly.
Why would a '95 Deville not start when putting starting fluid in the throttle body?
timeing is off,no spark(power to the plugs but not threw them),cracked distrib.cap.bad stator in distrib. It is highly recommended that starting fluid (ether) never be used in throtle body gasoline engines unless one is very highly quaified in engine maintenance proceedures. Ether is a very volitile flamable liquid. Using it can cause serious engine damage not to mention bodily harm. Before using any type of starting liquids check to make sure there voltage flowing between the spark plug wires and the spark plugs. If there is no voltage there or the voltage reads much below 16k volts there simply may not be enough to overcome the resistance of the resistor type spark plugs that are used in all cars today. Most newer cars since the early 1980s have aluminum cylinder heads. Using starting fluids can cause serious damage to aluminum cylinder heads. There are a whole aray of electrical reasons that an engine does not start with or without starting fluid. ALL these potential reason should be checked before even thinking about using any type of starting fluid.
What sensor could cause no spark on a 1995 caprice?
No spark would usually be the ignition coil.
