Why doesn't my car start?
I got a car and the engine had some bad parts and so I replaced them and the engine didn't start before and even after replacing the parts it doesn't start. Everything is bolted, the ignition wires are bolted (positive and negative at the battery, ground wires on the engine block and fender, wire for the starter, and wire for the alternator) and my fuel line is connected and I have fuel and a good pump but still nothing and I have a good starter and battery.

Make sure the carb, coil, distributer, and spark plugs/wires are in good shape. My guess is a bad/missing coil because thats what I usually forget.

I replaced the wires and the distributor including sparkplugs same with the carb

what ab the coil, causally next to distributor, if that's not it check for timing chain. double check parts too many bad pistons causes not enough compression as well. also try feeding gas "not in a gear"

The coil has gotten me a couple times but I remembered to replace it this time

Note: This car is a mod. Its the 70 Coronet mod so maybe this car is glitched (I've worked on many Coronets in this game with no issues trying to get them running but you never know)

reliants? if so, maybe post in his discord post about the mod, i think he said he is taking a break from modding but said he will try to fix bugs if any are reported, so give it a go

side note, when i have a engine that has a issue, i tend to take it out the car completly and place it in another car, to see if it was the car or if its the engine itself, you could also try that, if it still doesnt work in another car then you know its not the mod car and something with the engine

also, i donno how much you wanna mod but there is a obd2 reader on discord that works great, you use it , then hit i, and go into the diagnostic tab and it will tell you everything wrong with the car

Yes it's Reliant's mod and Modding is my life lol. That's a good idea to put into a different car I'll try that. Thanks for telling me about the scanner. It'll come in very handy.

Thank you Shaila. The OBD told me the car couldn't start because I was missing the crank sprocket. My bottom rotating assembly was from a different motor that I did performance internals on and I totally forgot that I moved my sprocket over during the build. Do you know where I can get his Discord? There is a bug I'm having and wanna tell him.
