its cause it has no spark or fuel. try getting it top dead center pull the number one spark plug out and stick ur finger in the hole have some one bump it over jus keep barley doing it and when u fell air push out STOP then pull distrbutor cap off and make sure its pointin to that cylinder then put it all to gether if its not point in towards it while tryin to start it gently turn the whole ditributor (so u have to lossen the nut a little not to much enoff to wers u can turn it) and that should solve ur problem also look down the throttle body or carb watever it is and smell if it is gettin gas.
check for a spark from you r#1 cylinder and if it is fine then it is fuel related. If it's not fine check your distributor cap for wear
Two common reasons why an engine will crank over, but not start: There is no spark. There is no gasoline.
Timing Advance not working or fuel sensor messed up.
Check for fuel pressure and spark on the no start days.
I would start by changing the thermostat. They go out, often, or have a tenacy to stick, and are cheap.
Check the air filter, fuel filter, and the choke to start with. It sounds like the engine is starving air until it warms up.
My 2005 aveo won't start
are you getting spark?
One reason a 1993 Chevy Lumina may turn over but not start could be the battery. It may also be the spark plugs.
i would have the coil packs tested
start with air,fuel or spark should be one of those.
If your cars turns over but will not start you need to check the alternator...once u have done that if it is bad you need to change it. also check the dash light...do they come on for about 5 seconds when you turn the key just enough for the sterio to come one? if they do your battery is fine and it sounds like your starter is fine too...so what i would do is check the alternator. let me know....email is...TristaButt2103@yahoo.com
