I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan V6 3L. It hasn't been drove that much through the winter but I routinely went out started it and let it run for 10 minutes then would take it for a 5KM trip every 1-3 days.
One day it decided not to start, you turn the key and the engine cranks and cranks and cranks but it won't start.
- I've check the fuel pump, it's operating properly
- I've also put a anti-freeze solution for gas into the tank
- I've removed the pipe that pushes the gas into the fuel injector and it blew a lot of gas out with a lot of pressure.
- I've replaced the Spark plugs, spark plug lines, distributor and the distributor rotor.
- Checked fuses and relays, everything is corrected and nothing is burnt out.
- Replaced current computer with a new one.
It's getting a spark, that I know, I've checked the coil and made sure each spark plug fired before installing it into the engine block.
It's also getting plenty of fuel since there is a strong scent of gas when you check the engine oil dip-stick.
Please someone - make my day and help me solve this mystery! Thanks in advance!
It fired extraordinarily well - lots of kick.
Perhaps, your right that it is flooded.
A detail I forgot to add is these last two days since replacing all the plugs - when trying to crank the engine, a few cylinders did 'kick' but didn't started, sounded like it was gonna go.
Just installed a brand new battery today.
I just sprayed some 'Ether' into the air intake (removed pipe and sprayed in). And it still wouldn't start. Seems as if it's not firing what so ever, yet there is a spark!
Air intake is clear, just replaced the filter.
I'm not sure how to check the compression, or if the injectors are firing.
Only thing I can really hear is the engine turning over (loud) - everything sounds normal. I checked the belts to see if it was possible ceased and everything is turning properly.
