i would look in to having the static timing checked.(ignition timing) you may have crossed sparkplug wires or the timing is simply way off,among other things.
If the engine cranks & cranks & cranks before it starts even though it's warmed up already.
My car starts but it shuts off it says ck engine
You need a battery. There's a very small chance it could be something else, but from the symptoms you describe it is more than likely a bad battery.
If the check engine light is or has illuminated, check for codes.
my car starts every now and again, but when it does start it turns off and then it backfires. i dont know if it is the fuel pump or the sparkplugs or both, please help me find the problem.
What year? What is it doing? A 12 valve has a fuel shut off solenoid that commonly malfunctions, the engine cranks but never starts.
Your car backfires when you need a new transmission,or tune up. How do you know the difference? Simple...if your car backfires then wont start, or wont start and then backfires,you need a transmission. If it backfires, and then starts moments after, you need a tune-up. Glad to help...David
it could possibly be a bad coil, crank shaft sensor, or cam shaft sensor.
The fuse box under the hood. It is the #9 relay and when it starts to go bad there is a delay before engine cranks over.
Open a bit more the screw that regulates fuel input into the carburator.
crankshaft
The way it starts
