Crank, No Start Basic Symptoms and Diagnostics

I this video I go over 3 possible issues which may cause a no start situation in your Montero also, a bonus tip at the end where I show you a mystery RPM signal connector under the hood which you can use this to see if you have a rpm signal from the PCM during a possible no start condition. I go over : No start no fuel, No start no spark and perhaps you have an old key.

Hi Jim, thank you for the video which has helped me in arriving at a conclusion [ Relay 1 coil open and fuel pump failure nothing happens when power at fuel pump connector], following the process that has been explained. Subscribed!

Good content, I’m trying to diagnose mine and needed someone going over the basics to get my brain going 😅

I have the same problem but i have fuel and spark and the engine does turn over but will not run i have replaced the spark plugs and spark plug Leeds and replace cam sensor and crank angle sensor i also have compression there is one more note that I want to add to this when i take out the spark plugs and blow out the cylinders and then put them back in it will run for a but or cough and then try to restart it then there is nothing then I have tried to spray start your bastard and still won't fire but only will run once I take the plugs out and clean it out the cylinders every time than it will run and it does smell like there is a lot of fuel this is doing my head in and I like your video it does help out gonna do some more testing tomorrow hopefully can you also do a cam sensor test aswell thank you and if any help will be appreciate

Jim, I have an over 20yo Montero and I'd like to get ahead of the dead battery in the key problem. Outside of going to a dealer or a lock smith to get a replacement key is there any other way to do it? I have both keys... so are we saying that after that battery in the key dies the key is no longer usable and needs to be replaced with a new key? Thanks for helping all of us!

[@jime.angulo4151]

yes, once the internal batt is dead the key is useless.

[@jrcastaneac]

Thanks for your video. Very informative and glad to see Monti gurus helping out with issues. How do i replace my key transponder? How will i go about this? Mines just started with issue #1 2002 montero limited 3.5 thanks, any feedback will be appreciated.

[@jime.angulo4151]

Thanks! yes, you have to replace the key and get it reprogrammed. Many after market companies do this.

[@AllanBrogdon]

I have a 2000 Montero sport 3.0. It has a little clatter which i suspect is the timing tensioner is weak.

[@jime.angulo4151]

that is very possible

[@christopherandrews752]

I have a 02 montero sport the fuel pump does not come on when you turn the key, an no spark

Mr Jime.. how are you doing bud? hey I am having issues with my Montero in Mexico so I am back here getting retrained.. thanks for the videos. I didn't know you had a video about this issue. Its a very popular problem with our monteros where the engine wont turn, or even try crancking unless you put it on NEUTRAL. Well this has worked fo rme on my Monteros here but now when you cant access the truck and are trying to fix it ove the phone makes it very hard. Thanks again bud

[@jime.angulo4151]

Hola Amigo espero te encuentres bien, If it only cranks when the trans is in neutral, then there seem to be an issue with the transmission range switch. What year is your Montero in Mexico?

[@juanvega802]

I have a 2001 Montero Sport and I replaced fuel pump, fuel filter, sparks and wires and still cranking and sometimes starts right up

[@Lowkey_TeeCTv]

I just recently changed valve cover gasket, spark plugs, wires, and oil. Now I can’t get it to start up. Crank, but no start. Any ideas?

[@jime.angulo4151]

just follow the basic rules and see what's missing. fuel spark etc...

[@iliaortiz3308]

Awesome!Tnx! It helped and refresh my mind.

In Europe usually those cars are diesel. In USA, gasoline or diesel?

[@jime.angulo4151]

In the US, Gas is more common but diesels are also available

[@DevilishEdits1]

I got a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant es with no spark

[@jime.angulo4151]

Same basic diagnostic steps still apply. check crank sensor input the PCM and stuff like that

[@ProclaimingTheWord-e4e]

Hi! My Montero has no crank, battery is perfect. Is it possible that the key battery is dead? If yes, is there a cheap way to replace the battery inside the key? Thank you!!!

[@jime.angulo4151]

what year and model is your Montero? The immobilizer system does not cause a NO CRANK condition. Could be an issue with the starting system make sure the S terminal at the starter has B+ while the key is the crank position.

[@ProclaimingTheWord-e4e]

2004 Montero Sport.

[@jime.angulo4151]

@@ProclaimingTheWord-e4e Get a starting system wiring diagram and see if the starter is getting power when you put the key in the crank position.

I replaced the fuel pump and now the car won’t start 9v to the fuel pump 😢 makes no dam sense. Old fuel pump worked, tested new pump works. New battery aswell, I need help 😢 looking to pay an expert 😂

[@jime.angulo4151]

9v to the pump while cranking might be normal depending on the B+ while cranking. but, also check the ground to the pump.

[@teofilosi]

It’s a valve noise ticking, needs to be replaced the valve lifters

[@jime.angulo4151]

It depends, sometimes it just the oil not getting to the top end.

My Pajero io 4G94 model engine runs and stop after 20 minutes. I change fuel pump and spark plugs but still the same.
