Re: engine isnt starting

I always go right for the starting fluid to figure out what it is on no start.

If it tries to run, you know its a fuel problem.

If it won't even pop on SF, you know its a spark problem.

Re: engine isnt starting

FYI I do not suggest using it for a band-aid on starting, only for testing purposes. Ive had the same can about 10 years, has a few squirts left

Re: engine isnt starting

If you "have" to use it, some auto stores but for sure a truck stop will have the better SF that has lube in it. As its harsh to use for constant starting, but some diesels need it, so they put top end lube in the better brands.
