WHY WON'T MY VEHICLE START?
20

Asked by Domingo Sep 20, 2020 at 05:27 PM about the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Vehicle was misfireing. Replaced all 4 fuel injectors. Mechanic said it still had
a misfire and that it could be either the spark plugs, coil pack, or bad gas.
Driving the car home, I stopped to buy the spark plugs. Got home removed
the coil pack. Noticed that the tips were chipped. Bought a new coil pack.
Replaced the coil pack and spark plugs. Noticed oil inside the spark plug
well. Assembled it back together to take to mechanic to replace valve cover
gasket, but vehicle won't start now. If I only replaced the coil pack and spark
plugs, why won't the vehicle start now??

I figured it out. Turns out the brand new coil pack was faulty. I returned the coil pack to Auto Zone and had them give me a new one. Placed it in the vehicle and it started right up. Always double check your new parts.
