Replying to: anita3 (Jun 22, 2009 5:45 am) Are you getting sparking at each of the spark plugs.......? What is the fuel pressure...............? Are the plugs wet with fuel when you take them out of the head? And just to clairfy, when you say it sounds like it wants to turn over, but doesn't...do you mean that the starter is engaged, the starter is turning the crankshaft of the engine, but it is not starting to run....correct?

Replying to: anita3 (Jul 03, 2009 2:19 pm) If this was what was actually said - it's BS. What, you can't drive a car from California to Ohio? And, by 2000, all cars probably met the California emission standards. |
