Q: My car will crank but not start

asked by on November 07, 2016

It will turn over but wouldn't start. But when it does it runs perfect no stalling no sputtering no check engine light on nothing. I tested all the fuses and sensors and they are all in working order. I have fuel pressure and you can hear the buzzing from the fuel pump. I don't know what else to do.

My car has 225000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
