rpmdiag :

Thanks for your question. Sorry you're having car problems. If I go off line, just leave a message and I'll be right back. DO NOT leave feedback yet. We first need to establish what we're missing when it won't start; Check for a good spark at the plugs when cranking it and also heave a fuel pressure gage attached to the fuel rail to check the fuel pressure. Keep me posted. Thanks, Ron

rpmdiag :

Please note: not every answer I give you is something you were hoping to hear, even though it is true, such as; (it’s more expensive than you wanted to spend, or you will need to have a professional repair shop do the diagnostics and /or repairs due to complexity reasons).

Customer :

Your not getting it Its starts in the morning when i go to work at 4 am. When it cool outside. Work all day come out to go home 90 degrees outside will not start. Plugs are fireing.

rpmdiag :

I'm getting it fine, you just now told me that it's missing spark, and that's what I wanted to know. Now, you need to check the CRANK sensor first seeing that this is the most common cause. Thanks, Ron

Customer :

rpmdiag :

If you look at the time that I originally posted to you, you will see that (5) minutes lapsed until you FINALLY responded back to me. We experts do have other customers that also need help. Good luck.
