Thank you, this is very helpful. I would like to add my two cents here. My Mazda 3 was cranking but not starting, and the reason was a faulty mass air flow sensor. No code was recorded. But the culprit can be pinpointed by disconnecting the sensor and the car can actually fire using it's built-in dummy mode. Worth checking if the car hesitated to start, dropped in mpg, or had thrown a P0101 code recently

Spray Starter Fluid (ether) down the intake duct. If the engine runs on that, the spark system is working (crank sensor OK) so your problem is in the fuel system. Next step would be to verify fuel pressure at the supply to the injector rail (screw gage onto test port), then verify fuel injectors are pulsing. If a bad crank sensor, I think the engine controller doesn't even know the engine is turning over so won't spark or pulse injectors, and won't throw a code. If your fuel pump fails on the road, try kicking the fuel tank as you key on and off and it might start turning again to immediately drive home or to a shop. I took a bad one out once, gave it a little rap on the bench, and it then turned with 12 VDC applied (worn bearings can seize like that). Most cars with a MAP sensor, instead of MAF, will run fine with a vacuum leak but will idle too fast if the leak overwhelms the IAC valve (it is fully closed).

Hey, I believe my car is having an issue with timing belt or chain. (2003 Honda civic coupe ex) it cranks but no start at all. Middle of me driving in the 40s car went limp all lights flicked on the dash jusr only asking bc idk if my engine is screwed bc of it. The belt is still on and still turns when you flick the hood up to check. 2 people also told me jumped timing whatever thag means. Do you think it’s worth gettin it fixed and it isn’t destroyed? Mad bc I just got the car and license and didn’t even put 3k miles on it car is under 89k miles it’self

My 1993 Mazda b2600 does this when it rains or on really humid days/mornings… I’ve replaced the distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs and wires, checked plugs on harness and fuses.. I’m lost 😞 haven’t replaced the coil yet but it’s an aftermarket NGK one so it has been replaced before 🤷🏻‍♂️ also replaced the older battery with a red top Optima since I run a stereo system, the radiator fan, AC clutch fan and power windows directly to the battery. All on switches

if hard starting first thing in the am or after it’s been sitting awhile, but it eventually starts; check fuel pressure regulator. turn key to ON for four seconds, then OFF. repeat 3 times. on the last time, turn to START. If it starts right up, it’s the fuel pressure regulator. If it still cranks without starting, look elsewhere in fuel or ignition systems.

This happens to our car. First try, the engine only cranks. But upon pumping the fuel pump, it starts immediately. If ever it starts after turning ON and OFF 3 times, it won't happen again, or is there a part to be replaced?

Wow. This worked! 1993 Ford Ranger 4.0. Crank no start. Started up with starter fluid. Went out the next day and crank no start. I read this post so I went out to give it a try and low and behold it started when I cranked it after the third turn. You’re a genius. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So do I need to replace the fuel pressure regulator or some sensor?

Hello, nice vid. I have a daihatsu sirion 2 with K3-VE engine and it stopped running all of a sudden. It cranks, but no start. I checked all the fuses/relays, they seem good. I checked the crankshaftsensor and it's giving me close to 2000 ohms. So that seems ok. I tested the harness with ignition switched on, no voltage. Any idea what that could be? I still have to check to camshaftsensor though. Regards

Thanks for the video mate. I'm having a hard time with 2006 Nissan Note, It's battery died so I tried to jumpstart it, suddenly it just cranks and won't start. Could I have messed up the ignition system somehow? Some dude said that to me before, I think he could have been out to scam me. I just want confirmation from you, can I really mess up a car's ignition system by jumpstarting it with lower power rating jumper cables? It couldn't do a thing with 600W rated but it does crank with the big 3000W rated set.
@BudgetMechanicHawaii
@BudgetMechanicHawaii 3 ай бұрын
Low quality jumper cable don’t provide enough amps which can cause voltage to drop under starting load. But it’s very unlikely that’s the cause. Did you check that your cars anti theft system wasn’t triggered by the dead battery?

I have a 2007 ford explorer sport trac v8 . About 2 months ago i was driving and out of nowhere it died on me and would not restart. I have a screen that shows the battery and says check charging system. I had it towed to my house. ( it trys to crank but won't start) I have - put in a new battery - took off alternator and took it to auto parts store where it tested good - checked basically every fuse under the hood and inside the vehicle - checked every wire connection I can, and cleaned every possible connection point - can hear fuel pump engage when turning the key to auxiliary mode - looked for vacuumed leaks And still the same result. Trys to start but won't. I also bought a code reader and it shows 0 codes. Any thoughts?

All U.S. gasoline personal vehicles since 1996 have an OBDII port. Not all inexpensive OBDII readers work on all cars, especially newer cars (say 2000+). The $10 ones work on my 1996, but only a few cheapies work on my 2002 so need to pay ~$30. Newer vehicles also have additional codes you can read.
