i'm so confused

[smokeyjpn221]

i finally got my car running a few days ago and i went back up to where it is yesterday and now it will barely fire. i don't have enough experience or knowledge to figure out what's going on. any ideas ? any help would be much appriciated

 

[toofast82]

Does it have gas? no offense, its probably happened to all of us at some point

 

[MichaelSuch]

What do you mean by barely fire? Like it took longer to start? Or it sounded like it was missfiring? How much colder was it from the first time you started it to now?

 

[Tyeler18]

can you make a better description? do you have spark, compression, and fuel?

could be almost anything... dead battery, no fuel, fouled spark plugs, bad wires, lots of stuff

 

[josh2ndgen]

any more info on what is going on? Its hard to diagnois a problem on those details. Check the 3 major thing fuel, compression, and spark.

edit: beat me to it.

 

[smokeyjpn221]

it has gas spark and compression. it was about the same temp as before. what i mean by barely fire is it fired like once every 20 minutes.

bad starter?

Sounds like a bad starter starts here and there. mmm

 

[smokeyjpn221]

nah...the starter works fine

 

[toofast82]

do a video maybe if you can?

 

[smokeyjpn221]

i have a video of me starting it for the first time

 

[smokeyjpn221]

do a video maybe if you can?

or are you wanting a video of me trying to start it the way it is now

 

[toofast82]

yeah, any tuning equipment someone could have messed with or anything

 

[smokeyjpn221]

not from when it ran till now. no one touches it but me and my helpers

 

[smokeyjpn221]

Sounds like a bad starter starts here and there. mmm

nah it's not the starter. it doesn't start at all it just cranks and sometimes pops

 

[smokeyjpn221]

there's gotta be somebody out there that knows what's goin on

 

[smokeyjpn221]

bump

 

[smokeyjpn221]

bump

 

[caged]

pull a plug after it wont start and check if the plug is wet and black.

Don't bump your post. Change the plugs, wires and fuel filter.
