CRANKY MOTOR






When you say “trying to turn over” that means the starter motor is not cranking the engine until 2-3 seconds after your turn the key.

But if you really meant “trying to fire” then:

You need to find out if you have a delay in the spark or fuel.

Use an ignition tester to find out if you’re getting spark as soon as you CRANK the engine.




Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. They look dorky. Turn em off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights on in the daytime!
