i got spark wont start.not even with starting fluid.

2.9 v6 5speed 4x4

2.9L, OK... Check to see if crankcase oil is really thin...way overfull and smells of gas... Post results for more information.

yes. not real over full. but like 1/2 quart. and smells like gas. i purchased it taken apart for a clutch. kid i got it from really made a mess of it. cut drivelines, exhaust manifolds, etc.

On the 2.9L, it was common for the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm to rupture and flood the engine and crankcase with gas.. . It will NOT start when that happens! .. Pull vacuum hose off pressure regulator and see if it's ANY trace of gas there.. If so, replace the regulator, change oil & filter and install a set of NEW spark plugs 'before' trying to start it... Good luck..

thank you so much. ill get back to you and let you know how it checks out. thanx again, Jim
