Are you getting any spark? Any fuel?

 

YOUR ROTOR IN YOUR DISTRIBUTOR PROBABLY BURNED OUT

 

i am getting spark... and plenty of fuel... and i tried changing the distributor already.. and the ecu and changed the spark plugs

 

batery is toast, charge it up first

 

check your fuses oh yea also cam gears

 

would a bad alternator have any effect on the car starting???theres plenty of power in the battery....

 

if there's a bad alternator and plenty of juice the car will start

 

would the flywheel be a problem??? my throw out bearing was kinda bad already... can the clutch be a problem too.. cuz before the car was broke it made a lil metal hitting noise.. i just changed the starter today.. and it still doesnt crank up.. did a compression test... came out 170ish on all cylinders.... but part of this is because the car doesnt crank all the way.... any ideas???i checked all the fuses.. but how do u check the cam gears????

anybody know if a bad injectors or bad fuel pump be a porblem to starting up.. when i say bad.. i mean that it flows too much fuel... cuz theres plenty of fuel on the spark plugs when i pull them out... but this might be caused by the multiple times that i tried to start the car..

 

you sure your getting ENOUGH spark? cause if theres fuel all over the spark plugs....i would think your not getting enough spark.
