There are a lot of reasons that a car might not start even if it is getting fuel and spark. It depends what kind of car it is. It could be something as small and simple as a bad starter or solenoid or something as complicated as a stretched timing chain. What are you working with?

You're losing spark or fuel. Next time it dies check for spark. If you have spark then you have a fuel problem. Start with replacing the fuel filter. If it still dies I would suspect the fuel pump is bad. A fuel pressure test could verify that.

I would suspect that if it is getting fuel and not starting it would be that it is not getting any spark. If you find that it is not getting spark you could check: Ignition module Crank position sensor Engine control module Associated wiring and connectors

Why does a car start hard; it just cranks normal when the key is turned. It takes more time to start than it used to.?

Fuel may be draining back into the tank. So the engine will turn over but not start until the fuel reachs the engine. If it is damp out, the wires may be bad. The spark will arc before it gets to the plugs, preventing combustion. It takes fuel, spark and combustion to make an engine run.

What does fuel injectors do for your Chevy Cavalier?

the fuel is pumped from the gas tank into the "fuel rail" and the gas stays there until you start turning over the engine to start it. the fuel injectors take the fuel from the "fuel rail" and spray it into the cylinder which then gets ignited by the spark from the spark plug. so if the injector is leaking or not functioning the fuel will just flood into the engine if leaking, or not go into the engine at at all if its not working. the reason they went from carburetors to fuel injection is so less gas is wasted because the injectors only spray a precise amount of fuel.

96 Chevy Tahoe gets fuel but no spark?

there are many reasons, but the easiest to eliminate would be plugs,wires, cap, rotor and coil. after those it could even be a computer problem.


Why won't your 97 Ford Taurus won't start it gets a spark and fuel?

Maybe flooded? Never press the gas pedal to start a fuel injected engine.They will start themselves if most sensors and the computer is close to correct operational specs. So! if it won't start then there is probably a bad sensor, bad gas, water in the gas, or any other number of problems. Does it fire a little, backfire, or no fire. Remove several spark plugs and see if they are corroded with oil or gas.


Why does my Polaris 500 pop through carb wont start?

A carburetor will not start when it does not yet enough fuel. A carburetor will not start if it gets too much. Fuel and not enough air.
