Replaced battery, alternator, fuel pump, and fuel filter and can't get it to fire. Help!


Did it run before you swapped all the parts?

Try spraying starting fluid into the air intake. If it starts for a bit, then it is a fuel problem.

Also check spark plugs if you can. At night you can remove a spark plug wire and hold it near a body metal part and see it spark. On cars with coils on each spark plug, you would need to use a voltmeter or some other testing device. But if not sparking, than that is the problem. (And it would do nothing with sprayed in starting fluid.)

Best is to get a factory service manual or CD/DVD from the vehicle dealer and follow the troubleshooting section. Or go to alldatadiy.com for the same thing on-line.
