Default engine starting problems

I am having a problem getting my engine to start. It will turn over, but will not start. It is a 1989 300SE. I have checked all of the plugs and plug wires, fuses and circuits, and the ignition coil. All are in good condition. Any suggestions?

Itis most likely your Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Check fuel pressure. I have replaced a dozen fuel pumps and only one crank sensor. Problems with EZL ignition module if equipped and cap and rotors causing starting issues.

make sure you have a good compression in all cyliner if you jump timing chain it would not start as you want it make sure you have gas delivery also
