Default Re: Car troubles...any mechanics in the house?

If the engine is spinning but not starting stick to the basics, an engine needs three things to run AIR-SPARK-FUEL. As long as the motor is sound (Timing belt wise) it is either no spark or no fuel. Pull a spark plug wire off and put a screw driver in the end and hold it close to anything metal while someone cranks the engine there should be a strong spark jumping the gap, if there is then It probably is a fuel problem. Give a small shot of carb cleaner or starting fluid into the air intake and see if the engine kicks over and runs for like one or two seconds, if it does then dies its a fuel problem.
