2000 Q 110k, cranking but wont turn over

[Marshall206]

It will crank and crank, but wont start, tested battery, its fine.

Any ideas? Fuel pump?

I was about to fix a bad coil which was causing the car to not run on all 8, and the car was starting fine everytime, but it wont now.

You disconnected something, maybe even inadvertantly.

Dare you to find the letter "y" on your trunk.

I think your going to need a scanner for codes. Did you touch anything or it just started acting up?

[Marshall206]

didnt touch anything, just came out to start one day and it wont, I dont believe anything could have come dissconnected.

If it was my fuel pump I would feel a "running out of gas" studder

I dont think its a connection but ill go double check and come back,

anyone else plz more info appreciated, I know u need more info from me so ill get the code read out,

I did have a code recently when the vehicle was still running P1320 Ignition Signal Primary, but I thought it was the failing coil which was causing it to not run on all cylinders, so I was going to ohm the coil wires and see which is bad, but now it wont start.

"Ignition signal primary" sounds kinda of important-I don't know what needs to be fixed though.

Pages EC 404-406 from the 2000.5 FSM:



I'd recommend checking your grounds. Easy to get to.

Also, you can remove the fuel line closest to the front of the car (supply) to look for fuel. One easily accessible clamp, however hose can be stubborn...twist with soft pliers, don't just pull.

Thanks everyone, located the FSM on here and found the page that was posted. Turned out it was the connector cover from the positive battery terminal, it has a plastic sleeve or cover over it, after looking at all connections I could see that would be related I noticed the cover that goes around the little fuse link was loose and had slid down the wire a little bit, really doesnt seem like this would cause a disconnection, but I clicked it back together and my baby fires right up! Now to figure out which coil is bad or why the car is only running on 7, and I need to do o2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2, and then replace my struts in the front and I believe then my q will finally be in perfect working order.

Keep going! Good luck and don't neglect the FSM nor TSB. Reading the previous posts here can help with procedures, diagnostics and choosing the correct parts.
