check for three things compression, spark, and fuel...this meaning the coils and spark plugs for spark portion...also the starter if it is making a noise but nothing is happening then it is probably mechanical and could very well be the gear that meshes up with your flywheel... if it doesnt make any noise when cranking then it is most likely electrical..also check the spark plugs and the coils...next the injectors...the injectors and spark plugs would cause it to turn off when driving too...you however need an oscilloscope to scope both the coils and injectors....

hope maybe that helps a bit let me know!


thanks, Adam
I forgot i was smelling gas cause one of my injector was leaking as i was driving. The o ring was ripped. I already replaced it.

maybe your engine is full of gas from that injector,
so your engine is flooded and it wont even crank,

take of a spark plug and try to reach your fingers down into the cylinder
and see if its filed with gas.

Finger... A tentacle maybe can reach the piston, unless his fingers are 9" long...

Anyway, take a look at the plugs, they'll give you a wealth of information.

Listen you are being throw way off track.

Put a ratchet on the front crankshaft bolt and try to turn the engine a few times by hand. Lets make sure the engine is not stuck somehow. think i read another thread of yours so i think it might be.

Make sure the car is in neutral before turning by hand.
