Thread: wona't start w/all plugs in will start minus one plug

  1. #1

    wona't start w/all plugs in will start minus one plug

    I have a 1992 Park Ave with the 3.8. If I put all the spark plugs in, it will not start. But if I remove one spark plug (any one), it will start and run OK (minus one cylinder. If I put all plugs in and just disconnect one plug wire, it will not start. Sounds compression-related, but I can't see how.

    Appreciate any help I can get,

    Eddie

    What do you mean "won't start"? It won't crank over? It will crank, but not run?

    BC, the engine will crank OK at any time, but won't start with all plugs in; only when one plug is removed.

    John, I got in on this problem late, so I'll have to find out on Monday what the original complaint was.


    Thanks to both of you for your interest.
