09 Smart Cabrio.. Daddy's lil monster is not starting.. Backfired, had it checked, compression is top notch, changed enjectors around as well as new coil on bank 2 as scanner stated was misfiring, changed coil packs around still misfire bank 2... Today backfire 2x and shut off. Won't start at all.. Help?

09 cabrio 451 backfired then a few miles from home just shut off and will not start. Been showing misfire bank 2 had compression checked which was excellent and everything is showing as good.. Moved coil packs around as well as fuel injectors. Always shows bank 2. Now will not start at all.. Help? Closest mechanic or dealership that works on smart cars is 4 hours away

Hi. Sorry to hear about your cabrio. How long have you had the smart and what were the compression numbers? Does the starter crank at all? Thanks.

Welcome to SCoA!

Just checking all bases, but how are the spark plugs and spark gap? How old is the car's battery?

 

[Goforth2008]

Spark plugs were gauged correctly and changed 6 weeks ago. Compression 120 ave on all cylinders.

 

[Goforth2008]

120 average compression tested..
