(Remove the Air Cleaner, Spray some Carb)

Dude, what carb? Almost all cars these days have fuel injection system.

Great Blog, I hear you...

Great Blog, I hear you... Too many chiefs and No Indians... Story of Our Expert Persian lives... LOL

But anyway, since you raised an issue in my area of expertise, I would like to share my 25 years experience with those who may actually face a similar problem!

First of all, Your car needs a proper diagnosis by a proper trained Automobile Technician with experience in this field!!!

According to what is written here so far, the engine does crank, crank, but does NOT turn over! Right?

If so, There are 3 possibilities:

1- Cylinders (Engine) do not get proper fuel! (Remove the Air Cleaner, Spray some Carb. cleaner/quick starter fuel, if the engine starts artificially in such way, the problem is Cut-off fuel supply possibly a faulty Fuel Pump, Fuel Relay/fuse or even a clogged Fuel Filter!

2- Cylinders (Engine) do not get Ignition Spark! If you have an access to remove one spark plug wire, get a long screw driver and get it close to any safe ground (-)while someone cranks the engine simultaneously. If you see No ignition spark jumping from the screw driver to the body ground, then you have a problem with one of the followings: faulty crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, Coil, Ignition distributor, Ignition Module or even the Electronic Computer!!!NOTE: Make sure you are only handling the insulated part of screw driver or you can get Zapped big time!!!( good for your heart..LOL)

3- Engine Timing is lost due to broken or jumped Timing belt or chain! following must be done: Remove the oil cap, have someone crank the engine, if you see from the top camshaft (mil- Badamak) is not moving , your Timing belt or chain iseither broken or jumped! Note:In some cases Timing cover needs to be at least partially remved to see if the pullies turn or not! IfCrank and cam pullies turn together properl, there is no broken Timing bely or chain!

Hope this lesson will be helpful for those in need of proper diagnosis!!

Peace Out!

Based on what you described...

I believe the problem is with the timing belt or timing chain, depending on which one your car has.  I once had a car with the same kind of problem.  I ended up changing the timing chain.  Give it a try. 

ahaa...

I saw a positive point there at least peoples DO CARE (even if they're not a mechanic).

picture the same scenario here on a free way and you'll be lucky if one soul stop and ask : IF there is anything they can do.    Maziar
