my car is a 1992 BMW 3 series. for some reason my car cranks but dont start, and i took it to a mechanic down in auto car care they said change the sprakplugs and i did, and still dont do anything, everything works except for the fact that it doesnt start at all. plus they dont have any diagnostic machine here for where im at so im trying to find some answer for what could been wrong with it.

Sounds like were getting in over our heads here, if a mechanic cant get it running while he is looking at the car, I dont think we can get it running from the internet.. With his explanation, it can be any number of things, and when was the last time it actually ran![[poke]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_poke.gif "Poke [poke]")
? Did it run fine then just die one day, has is been dead? Engine block seized![[bigcry]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_bigcry.gif "Big Cry [bigcry]")
? Defribulators can only save people that have been dead for a few minutes! You wont get my grandad up and running with one of those things![[clap]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_clap.gif "Clap [clap]")
. Point is, it may not have been running for some time, or be to costly to justify fixing it. It is still a BMW and parts arent cheap.
