Hi,
I have a 1995 Celica GT 2.2 that will not start. The engine turns over but does not catch. Any ideas what it is? how to diagnosis it? |

QUOTE (Special_Edy @ Jan 18, 2013 - 10:05 AM)  The first diagnostic step for an engine that cranks but doesnt get ignition is to spray starter fluid into the intake. If the engine starts when you spray starter fluid into it, you arent getting fuel, if it still wont start, your not getting spark. Or the compression is too low via headgasket, fried rings, dropped valve(s) , ect. I would spray some ether into the tb and try to start it to check for fuel first. If it still doesnt start... i would Stick a screw driver into the spark wires and ground it out while trying to start it.( one at a time) to check for spark. If there is still spark then check compression in each cylinders. This will indicate whether it has a bad hg or timing issue. Ect. |
