I bought a cheap 1994 wagon, installed a used radiator and started driving it. It had an occasional no-start condition which has now become a constant no-start condition. What are the common causes?


It has about 195k miles, and fuel consumption seems to be high - used about 3/8 of a tank over just 100 miles or so.


I can think of a fuel pump or fuel pump relay failure, are those common?


How about crank shaft position sensor? How test, or just replace?


What else are the typical causes and how do I test?
