Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Cranks, but won't start

I was getting worried, for a few weeks nothing broke.......well thats not entirely true, the driver side window started scraping when it goes up and down, but I'm not worried about that yet.

Anyways, I get in this morning, and it won't start. It cranks fine, but no fire.

Haven't checked for spark and fuel yet. Any common causes?

Looking forward to another fun filled and expensive weekend.

I tried it about fifteen times this morning. It would crank and not start.

When I got home, I pulled a plug wire off of the back of the engine, attached a spare spark plug I have, and had the wife crank it. No spark.

I then pulled a plug wire off of the front of the engine, attached the spare plug, had the wife crank it, and it fires up like nothing ever happened.

I've tried it a bunch of times, but can't get it not to start.


Any ideas?
