Re: Engine wont start
Try starting it with gas pedal pushed to the floor..this disables the injectors and allows maximum air into the cylinders. Seems counterintuitive but it worked for me after head gasket replacement and other times when the engine wasn't cranked for a couple weeks. If that doesn't work spray starter spray in to the TV and crank the engine
