to check your glowplug take it out and with the wire still on it put it up to the engine head and hit the ez start...it should glow. how old is your engine? is it worn out?

maybe your starting system failed, it can turn over but it wont put amps through the plug.
buy a cheap ignigter and try to start it, while your there, pick up a glow plug.

If it starts and won't stay running maybe you should check to see if your glow plug is loose it happens enough so you might want to tighten it or maybe your cooling head is loose.

RE: i need some help with starting my nitro sport
thanks alot guyss im going out to buy a rechargeble glow plug on saturday and i'll keep you guys posted. I think it may be the plug because the wire tubing around the easy start one is like disintegrated away so its just like the coil from the wire on the plug.

if your using old fuel that could be the problem or if you have a leak of some sorts. while you were at your lhs gettin an ignitor did you get a new plug? could it be your using the wrong plug?

RE: i need some help with starting my nitro sport
make sure there is no crap in your fuel tank. i once spent 10 minutes trying to start my nitro sport. it would get close to starting but would never stay running for more than .5 seconds. one piece of dirt was getting sucked up to my fuel filter. when i would stop the ezstart, the dirt would back off from the fuel filter. then when i tried to start it would almost catch and then die because the dirt had been sucked up to the filter and blocked it.
now i clean my tank much better.
