Hey all, new Smartcar owner, first time poster. So I bought a used 2009 Smart Fortwo Passion. They guy selling it said it simply wouldn't start one day. So, being technically minded, I did some troubleshooting. Now, when I turn the key, the starter is working, but the engine won't fire. So here's what I've done:
Fuel - working, fuel pump is pushing out fuel.
Battery - brand new, fully charged
Spark - pulled coil and plug #2 , and put it to the engine block. Spark is weak and orange, probably being quenched by the compression into the cylinder.
Also checked continuity between engine block, and frame ground - have continuity.
So what else am I missing? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance everyone.
