Default Re: 2005 coupe cranks but won't start.

Pull a plug wire and insert a phillips head screwdriver in the end, hold it ( by the plastic handle ) so the shaft is about
the thickness of a nickel from the block, have someone crank it.
If you have spark, then the PTCM is happy with the CPS and WANTS the engine to run.
If no spark, then I'm kinda at a loss since so many factors are involved on the PTCM inputs.
Lets HOPE there is spark, and if there is, then take the cap off the test point on the fuel rail at the front passenger side of the engine,
use a rag to prevent too much spillage and depress the little tire valve looking thingey,
you should get a good squirt since there should be about 60 PSI there.
If nothing, then do same thing with engine cranking over.

NOTE: kneel down with your ear just in front of the passenger rear tire and see if you can hear the fuel pump running when someone turns on the ignition ......

Report back results.
