Turns over but won't start PLEASE HELP?
« on: December 06, 2009, 08:47:18 PM »
Okay I have already checked the obvious spark plug, ignition wires, fuel but in my 1990 sidekick that has been sitting for probably 2 years and not started in about 6 months I kind of need someones direction am I missing something? I have to admit I am not an auto mech. but not afraid of working on my own stuff but kinda need some guidance.

1) do you have  visible  spark , fuel and such ?

2) check and make sure you Cam is turning  when you crank the engine . .  Just take the  oil cap off and look down inside .
 You may have thrown the timing belt .

3) check and clean your grounds . On  on the firewall . My 89 also had one on each finder and  another back  behind the drivers taillight .
 Make sure they are all clean  and grounding well

Maybe the caps in the computer popped and corroded the traces on the board

No it turns over just won't start.. I am beginning that it might have something to do with the fuel injectors but have to wait until the weekend to figure out..
