I've got a 97 Metro that is getting gas and fire but just won't start. I've checked the plugs, checked timing,and checked distrubiter. Still won't start. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Thanks!

Assuming you fuel pressure is right, you are getting enough fuel, the distributor and the timing is OK, the plug wires and spark plugs are fine, you may have low compression in the cylinders. Do a compression test. You may have worn piston rings, a blown head gasket or even a worn out overhead cam. Doing the compression test is simple; get a compression tester (gauge) from an autoparts store, it runs about ~$30 for an average quality one. Follow this procedure:
