won't start
 
The formula wont start, just cranks and cranks, as if it isnt getting FUEL and / or SPARK. Battery churns the starter like a champ.....starter spins and spins and the motor dont kick up

any tips on diagnosing the problem?

how do i check fuel pressure with a guage?? can I just push down the valve core of the pressure valve stem on the fuel line and see if gas shoots out ??

how do i check for spark?? do I just pull a plug wire off of a coil and will i see the spark jump or snap??

help ?!?!?!??!??!

thanks

Pull a plug and and someone watch it as you turn it over.

what about fuel?

Usually on the end of the fuel rail is a pressure check fitting. Go to autozone rent fuel pressure check gauge and attach to the fitting and crank over to see if fuel system has pressure.

How did you check spark? The spark wont jump all the way out of the end of the boot, so put a screwdriver in the end of the boot, then hold the side of the screwdriver about a 1/2 inch from a ground, then have someone try to start it and you should see a spark jump between the ground and screwdriver. If you dont have spark, then you need to check and make sure the coils are getting power and etc...
