It will start only with starting fluid

I have been having problems with my 99 disc. First the spark plug were getting dirty to fast, within a week or so. Then one day It wouldnâ€™t start, so we replace the crank sensor. Now it start but with only starting fluid. After it starts it sound smooth but once the turn it off it won't start by itself. What could be the cause of that? Thanks

Have you checked the plug wires and ignition coils?

Take it into a shop and let them do a diagnostic on it.

It almost sounds like you have a fuel issue, maybe getting too much, hence, dirty plugs quickly. Have you checked your fuel supply?

RE: It will start only with starting fluid

Yeah I check the plug wires and ignition coil. The discovery has a gas pressure of 38 psi. and when you try to start it goes down to 32 psi. Does any know the normal pressure. After I make it run, I will take is to a shop,because right know I can afford to rent a uhal. Thanks guys for all your help. You have an awesome forum.
