im gunna go out on a limb here.... check ur clutch shoes, ive had his prob before. ur spring may have fucked up and jammed the cltch bell and the shoes it stopping it from letting it start, it happed to my 4-tec. JUST CHECK THAT OUT, IT CAN'T HURT.

DUDE I THINK I KNOW WHATS WRONG HERE. OK FIRST TAKE OUT UR ENGINE AND TAKE ALL THE WIRES OFF THE EASY START AND THE FUEL LINE OUT. THEN GET THE TOOL AND TAKE OFF THE ENGINE HEAD TO SEE YOUR PISTON. THIS SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED TO MY FRIENDS TRUCK AND WE LOOKED AT THE ENGINE. ITS DEFINITLY NOT THE CLUTCH SHOES BECAUSE IF IT WAS THE ENGINE WOULD START IT JUST WOULDN'T ENGAGE MOTION. SO THE PROBLEM IS COMPRESSION. I BET EITHER FROM WEAR AND TEAR OR LAST TIME YOU RAN IT HIT A REALLY HIGH TEMP. DID IT? IF IT DID THEN YOU MIGHT HAVE SCORED THE PISTON OR IN OTHER WORDS FRIED IT. THIS CAUSES THE PISTON TO FIRST EXPAND FROM THE HIGH TEMP THEN COMPRESS AT COOLING. THIS LEAVES A GAP BETWEEN PISTON AND SLEEVE. YES THE TRUCK WILL START BUT THERE IS NO COMPRESSION TO KEEP IT GOING UP AND DOWN. THIS LEADS TO LIKE 4 OR 5 SECONDS RUN TIME. SO TAKE OFF THE HEAD AND SEE IF ITS BROWN INSIDE AT ALL INSTEAD OF ALL SHINY SILVER. IF ITS BROWN AT ALL YOU NEED EITHER A NEW 3.3 OR A PISTON AND SLEEVE. DO THIS PROCEDURE THEN COMMENT BACK WHETHER ITS BROWN OR NOT DUDE OK PECE OUT AND I HOW THIS HELPED.
