I have had no problems with it till Thanksgiving day. I go to start it and it proceeds to turn over for 30 seconds or so without starting. It does this without me holding the key down. I bought a cheap code reader but got nothing from it. I replaced the battery because it was 9 years old. I am going to change the plugs and coils because it hasn't been done in a long time. I have a new crankshaft sensor and a new cam shaft sensor. I might even.have.an.ecm to try out. I tried spraying brake cleaner in the intake but got nothing. So it is no spark or no spark and no fuel. So any recommendations on where to start? From the zenith zr4 scanner (cheapest one at harbor freight) all the red icons just blink which according to the manual means it did not finish testing. Left it on for 20 minutes and it was still the same.
Update! Had some time today and picked up an online spark plug tester and a fuel pressure tester. First hooked up the sparkplug tester and turned the engine over. Well it started right up! I think that my gut feeling of plugs and coils was spot on. I will do those tomorrow along with a coolant flush and new air filter.
