Here is a video I've been meaning to do for a while. I've had a lot of questions about no start diagnosis where people want me to give them the "magic bullet" to fix what is wrong with their car. Do I replace the computer? distributor? fuel pump? etc. So I decided to make this video of the basic steps of diagnosing and fixing a no start condition. The best advice I can give is to keep it simple, so often I see technicians go down the path of a complicated diagnosis only to find that the car was out of gas. The most important thing you can do when diagnosing a no start condition is to keep things simple, follow logical steps and make solid conclusions based on the facts you observe during your testing. Look for spark, fuel, and assess the mechanical condition of the engine before you condemn the computer or some other electronic part that you may not understand fully, it's still an internal combustion engine and they all work pretty much the same and need the same basic components to run, fuel, spark, and mechanical integrity.
With that said I hope this video is helpful in keeping you on the path to an accurate and successful diagnosis and repair.
