    Default Will Not Start

    I Have A Vn Commodore That Will Not Start. Just Turns Over.fuel From The Tank To The Rails, No Problem. To Squeeze The Rubber Fuel Hose Before It Gets To The Rails It Feels Solid.i Dont Know What Happens After That. If I Spray Some Start Ya Bastard Into The Air Breather, The Motor Will Fire Only Until The Start Is Used. Then Just Turns Over, Then If I Spray More Start It Will Fire Again.fuel Pump, Filters Have All Been Checked. I Even Bought Another Fuel Rail With Injectors The Same Problem. I Thought That Spark May Have Something To Do With It, I Have Checked Plug E Problem Will Not Startleads, Cleaned Plugs, Replaced Coil Packs (3), All Fuses. Still Sam

    Check for spark mate, take one of the plugs out then put the lead back on the end of that plug you just removed then sit the spark plug thread next to a strut tower bolt to get a grounding. Go over and try and crank your car in the DARK and you should be able to see it spark/ if it dosnt spark then its a spark issue.

    i presume what you are calling start is like crc engine start, or in old school terms, ether.
    i dont think that will make an engine fire that has no spark. not in an old truck i tried it in anyway.
    that makes me think you have spark and thats not your issue.
    so that only leaves fuel.
    i would be checking what VrWagz1 suggested.
    good luck, i know how much it sucks having a cool car and not being able to drive it. im in the same boat at the moment lol
