What could cause a 1991 Bronco 351 5.8 to turn over but not start?
If your engine turns but does not start, first check your interier fuel reset button located, inside under dash driver side on firewall between brake pedle and fuse box. If red button is up, push down to reset. This is there for the event of a colloison or need to do repairs on fuel system. Second, check for spark. To do this remove a plug wire and hold to a ground point (best done with very little light) if you see spark or get a ZAP well you got spark. Third, check or replace fuel relay Located (under the hood drivers side mounted on the back side of your breather) that part cost about 12 dollars. Fourth, if none of the above works check for a fault in the manafold system. O i almost forgot dont forget about your fuel filter you should check that first. I hope that helps you. And if that dont work, make sure that you check fule all areas of your fuel system (pressuer, regulator, fule pump etc.

believe it or not the starter is located usually under the fuel injectors just in front of the windshield area.

Why does your car sputter only when it starts to get hot outside?
sounds like a ignition breaking down from heat, scan codes good change ther is a cylinder misfire code. if plugs are old and have excessive gap this causes coils to work harder to jump a big gap the bigger the gap the coil has to produce more voltage a heat causing overload on coil

I am afraid that the "buy one, get one free" system of marketing does not operate in the auto spares industry.
How do you rebuild a starter in a 92 geo storm gsi with 18?
Don't waste your time or money rebuilding the starter just buy one already rebuilt. If you wish to rebuild your starter for some reason then take the starter off and carry it to a qualified builder for starters and alternators. Even the best automotive mechanics don't build starters or alternators anymore, it's just easier and usually cheaper in the long run to replace it.
Oh yeah, these crank sensors break off if you live in a rust-prone region such as NJ or the Midwest US. If this is likely to be a problem, follow this procedure:
1) Get a fire extinguisher handy. You shouldn't need it, but safety is a concern.
2) Unplug the crank sensor and get the wires away from the immediate area. Remove the bolt from the sensor.
3) Get a hot flame about 4 inches and bright blue ready. Hold it to the sensor for about 45 seconds. Remove the flame, the sensor should produce a small yellow flame. If the sensor is burning, blow it out and go to 4, otherwise heat it up some more.
4) Pull the sensor out. The outer layer of plastic is melted, allowing safe removal of the sensor.
AnswerCheck for failure of crank or cam sensor. If you haven't got access to a lab scope, just replace both. It's probably the crank sensor though.On some applications, removal of the cam sensor may require moving the upper intake. A new gasket should not be required, but check for vacuum leaks after you're done.
If there is nothing wrong with the engine internally, then ,the starter is pulling. Have to replace it. You could always pull out the plugs and spin the engine and see how that does. The starter on the 4.6 is hard to get the 3rd bolt out. But, it does come out.
Im no expert on cars but it sounds to me that u have a dead battery so i advise u to go an see a manic.
Where do you locate the crank shaft censor on Renault clio 96 m reg 1.4 auto because its faulty?
The crankshaft position sensor can be found on the back of your 1.4-liter engine. You will need to remove the rear engine cover in order to access the crankshaft position sensor.
Try the fuel filter and the fuel pump relay
Car starts up runs a few seconds then dies out?
same problem with our old marquis. catylatic (sp?) converter is plugged remove it
it could be a number of problems. the first being the battery. take it out and take it to a place like autozone or advanced and have it checked. If the battery is ok then i would replace the spark plugs. if they haven't been replaced in a few years they can build up crud that will affect the spark created by the plugs. My advice is to tow it to a local mechanic and ask to find out how much it will cost to locate the problem. If its under $100, it would be worth it to locate the problem rather than replace parts that may not need to be replaced.
Your 1995 acclaim wont start what is wrong with it?
if the injector is getting fuel, check for spark at the plugs, it might be the plug wires, bad plugs, rotor, pick up, or coil
How do you start your car with bad crank sensor?
Usually not at all. If the Engine Control Unit does not get signal from the Crankshaft Sensor it will not know when to inject fuel or light it with a spark. Consequently it will not start.
