Default Problem

I have posted this problem several different times just can't seem to figure it out. My car will turn over but will not start this is not all the time though it is very random it could be fine one hour and the next it just wont start. I have no freckin clue what it could be I have replace the coil, plugs, dis cap, rotor. Any suggestions would help.


Thanx

try new fuel injectors or fuel injector cleaner. It is very common on performance vehicles to get injector clogs so maybe the fuel is getting to the injector alright but cant get past that point! I strongly recommend sea foam. you pour about a half can in a full tank of gas and it will clean your engine, injectors, and fix almost anything wrong with an engine. Great stuff. I work at oreilleys and I recommend that stuff over anything else on the market.

Neutral safety switch is what lets the car only start in park or neutral. If it's bad it could possibly be thinking the car is in drive or something at the time, not letting it get spark/ or start.

If it does it again, put your foot on the brake and run it through the gears once or twice, thentry and start it.See if that will help anything.
