Diagnostic or Scantool question??


Recommended Posts

Well yes and no, it depends why it isnt starting. Some codes wont show up, like the cam and crank sensor, since the car need to be running for them to show up as errors. Other codes it will store, but odds are those codes are not the ones that are keeping the car from running.

Now if you have a start run stall situation, then yes it will hold codes.

Also remeber the any kind of scan tool is just that, a tool, not a diffintive answer as to why the car has a problem.

 

If your car is not starting, the easiets thing to do is to see if you have spark. The next would be to listen for the fuel pump, and then listen to see if you can hear the fuel injectors clicking.
