Cranking but not starting

95 turned off at night next morning turns over but no start. All cylinders are getting spark. I can hear the fuel pump turn on and there is fuel pressure at the filter. I have visually inspected the inside of the ECM and I dont see any signs of defect. Any suggestions on what to look at next would be greatly appreciated.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Are the spark plugs soaking wet?

Re: Cranking but not starting

When I pulled the spark plugs to check the compression there was oil in a couple of the tubes. I did go ahead and pull the valve cover and replace the o rings in the cover and gasket. Hopefully that will correct the oil issue.

I have the same issue with a 95 and the same situation (cylinders have spark, have fuel pressure...) so if you find a solution I would be interested in hearing what you did and if I can get mine going I will post what fixed it here.

Re: Cranking but not starting

oil on the the plugs is definately the o rings undervalve cover. Check fuel, and spark, if thats good check compression. if that passes Check for a solid Ground. Good Luck bro
