Engine Cranks but Won't Start, Metal Shaving Found
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner reported that the vehicle has power and cranks but the engine won't start, and asked the shop to check and advise.
What we found and did
The technician found the reluctor wheel out of place and a metal shaving inside the engine. Earlier in the visit, the technician suspected the vehicle was out of timing and installed a battery, then carried out initial testing and an engine diagnosis at our Winter Haven shop. Engine replacement (a long block) was recommended. The vehicle owner declined it, so that work was not performed.

No Start Diagnosis in Winter Haven: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Winter Haven.
Should I have it towed or try to drive it in?
If it won't crank at all, tow it. If it starts on the second or third try, it can strand you in traffic, and a tow from your driveway is easier than a tow from an intersection. Call us before you decide and we'll talk through what it's doing.
It started for me this morning. Is it still worth bringing in?
Yes, and bring it in while it's still doing it. An intermittent no start almost never fixes itself, and the details you can give us (hot or cold, first try or fifth, any dash lights) narrow the search a lot. Waiting until it's fully dead only removes your options.
How do you tell a fuel problem from a spark problem?
By testing them separately rather than by symptom. We measure fuel pressure and check whether the computer is commanding the injectors, then confirm the ignition system is producing spark while the engine cranks. Whichever one is missing gets pursued, and if both are present we move on to compression.
I put in a new battery and it still won't start. What now?
A new battery rules out one link, not the whole circuit. Cables, grounds, the starter and its signal path, or a charging system that's been killing batteries can all produce the same symptom. That's the point of testing the path instead of replacing along it.
What do I actually get from a no start diagnosis?
The named cause, in plain language, and a written quote for the repair it calls for. If more than one thing is failing, you see all of it and what order it matters in. Whether we do the work is up to you.
