Hope everyone had a great 4th July weekend. So, try to take the 32 out today for a drive. Car wont start up crank after crank, changed the Crank position already 5000 miles or less. Did few search on the forum but did not get any vital information as what is the cost, any help would be great guys.

Did you have this problem before? I think I remember reading something but couldn't remember if it was you.

But I think I also remember hearing that the throttle position sensor could be a problem on our cars so that might not be bad to look at.

Car turns over, cranks, all electrics works in order. Car have full juice, but just wont start up. I did some search on the forum found no answer. I also checked my rear fuse box #4 fuel pump ( its in working order). Also checked started it sounds fine (starter solenoid clicks). Alternator works... where else should be looking?

maybe check your plugs and remove your rear seats and see if you can hear the fuel pump running when you crank it. The car's cranking and you power. Sounds like its either not getting fuel or there's no spark.

I would shoot Splinter a PM too..he's the c32 guru.

Just got a vital piece of info from CLKCLK, ignition fuse 46-48 might be loose. Crossing my finger nothing serious with the 32.

I dunno, maybe in nuts, but this sounds a lot like a dead battery...

When I called MB roadside cuz of this same issue a few years ago, they asked me to turn on my stereo and/or my lights. They both came on while I could hear my car cranking attempting to start up. They told me my battery was dead - they came out, swapped out my battery and the car started up like nothing had happened. They had to clear the esp/abs issues and resync my windows...

Test out the battery? Good luck!

crank but no fire would be fuel or spark. weak pump, or no power to the pump at all is a good place to look.
