sffans Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I have a 93 es300 and it wont seem to start. It is getting spark and fuel.It turns over like it should. Some one told me to check the VSV and I did. It does not check to the correct ohms. Plus some of the vacuum lines were broke off of it. Could that be the problem? Please help cant seem to figure this thing out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blk_on_blk Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Are you getting any kind of a hint that it wants to start... any kind of firing at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sffans Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 It just keeps turning over but never really trys to start. Checked timing belt and it looks good not broke or loose. I pulled a spark plug wire to see if it was getting spark and it was. loosened fuel line and fuel squirted out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change them and put in new OEM plugs, Get a new rotor cap and report back ................................. ;) Or you could always plug your car into this forum and we'll do an "AUTOFIX" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sffans Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thank you i will try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If it were a spark wiring issue it would attemp to spark getting fuel to the rail is good but that does not mean the injectors are being fired or that the ignition is timed right.

92Lex Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 How do you know that it is getting spark and fuel? What methods did you use to confirm it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennydoesit Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) LOOK UNDER THE CAP(s) I have seen the rotor button(s) EAT AWAY the distributor cap from the inside. It'll still give you the impression that you're getting spark (which is TRUE), but... The Spark will be jumping all over the place; resulting in a NO START.

sffans Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I loosened the bolt to the fuel rail and fuel squirted out. How do I check to see if fuel is going to the injectors? I also but a nail in one of the plug wires and a spark came out. So I assumed it was getting spark. I also checked the rotor and cap and all was nice and clean no corrosion. I also sprayed start fluid in the intake, when i did this it tried to fire up. It back fired. If that is not correct please tell me anthor way.

sffans Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 I just checked the rotor cap and all was fine looked really clean and no corrosion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 How did the car run prior to it not starting? Try removing the exhaust manifold and see if it starts or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sffans Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 the car was running fine but it has sat 4 about a year. A new raditor was put in and then it would not start. So it has just been sitting until now. I just started to work on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennydoesit Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 How did the car run prior to it not starting? Try removing the exhaust manifold and see if it starts or not. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK YOUR TIMING MARKS ON THE CAM(S) AND THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY (BY MANUALLY TURNING THE CRANK PULLEY). IF THE MARKS DON'T LINE UP... TIMING. ALSO, FIND A COMPRESSION GAUGE AND TEST ALL THE CYLINDERS. THE COMP TEST WILL TELL YOU ALOT ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE UPPERMOST PART OF THE ENGINE (E.G. THE VALVES, PISTONS). HAVING A REMOTE STARTER SWITCH ($20) HELPS ALOT TOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 So it was running fine up until you replaced the radiator and then it wouldn't start immediately after you replaced the radiator? Did the vehicle overheat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sffans Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I just pulled a spark plug and it seems to be getting fuel on it. The compression seems to be fine. It is getting spark to the plug, but it doesnt look like a real strong spark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sffans Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 the rotor cap looks like new. Just found out that the car has sat for about 2 years. Could the injectors be clog or not spraying a good pattern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Pull off the exhaust manifold and see if it starts with the manifold off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
