Question type: Maintenance & Repair

at first, thought it was timing chain had jumped because when starting fluid was
used it back fired & smoked. After discovering the plug wires were out of firing
order & corrected it started but the injectors were not spraying the plugs.
Everything else works great, but something is not allowing fuel to get to the plugs.
Help!!!

Injectors may be clogged. Remove/lift the injector's track (slightly) so you can place a sheet of paper beneath the injectors ..then try and start the vehicle. By during that you will be able to determine which if any injector is working. Good Luck.. Semper FI.

I have a 1998 supercharged Buick Riviera. It won't start. It's sounds like it's about to start and then it's like the spark shuts off. There are no trouble codes or warning lights. There is gas in the tank. I was told that it might have something to do with the factory alarm. Does anyone have any ideas? 2 Answers
