Problem starting–need someone’s kind help

Hello Everyone!

My CNG vehicle turns over but does not start!! Just prior to this problem, the truck wasn’t even turning over, so the starter was replaced. Immediately thereafter, I had the above problem (turns over but not start). Valves are open, it has about 1/4 tank of fuel. This has conversion kit of IMPCO technologies.

If anyone has any ideas, it would be a great help. Even more difficult, I am outside of the country and a relative is addressing this problem, who is not familiar with CNG vehicles.

Thank you for any help you are able to provide,

Has to be fuel or spark problem. Try a light spray of starter fluid into the intake. If it starts on that but won’t stay running, it’s a fuel problem. If it won’t start, it’s a spark problem.

Either way you’ll probably have to get it towed to your mechanic to sort it out.
