Check if fuel pump primes when key is turned to ON. Measure fuel pressure and verify bright white-blue spark at all plugs. Also verify mechanical timing alignment.
Repair Solution:
Disconnected, dirty, or fouled spark plugs commonly prevent proper engine operation. Replace spark plugs every season or 25 hours. Verify proper spark plug gap. If plugs are good, check ignition components: spark plug wires, coils, and ignition module.
