1600i engine cranks but doesn’t start
Hi guys! We have a 1600 fuel injected engine in an oval track race car. After the last race it doesn’t want to start. It cranks but doesn’t start. There is fuel, there is spark and there is compression. Timing is set. Even if we spray quick start into intake it doesn’t want to start.

Re: 1600i engine cranks but doesn’t start
That's not alot of info..
Quick start only rules out the fueling system.
Spark, compression and timing is still required.
Is the spark sufficient? U could have an issue with the distributor cap, rotor, plugs or wires.
What do the spark plugs look like?
Do a compression test and post the results.
Which 1.6 engine is it? Does it have a management or OEM ECU?

When a car tailgates me, i slow down - then floor it and give them a cloud of diesel smoke to choke on
