At the crank

Check crank position sensor.

noob question, but where is the crank position sensor located on an m20?

ill also check fuel pump relay.

Where are you not hearing your fuel pump? You need spark, timing and fuel to get the car to start. Check for spark the coil.

Don't forget that you also need pancakes as well.

hey guys,

today i went out to the car to go run some errands when the car wouldnt start.

I did a stomp test, and i didnt get any fault codes. the car will crank for days, but its not turning over. i can smell fuel from the exhaust tips, and im not hearing the fuel pump "click on", as if its not operating??

any ideas guys? ive been searching for hours, and cant diagnose a thing...
