Car Starting Issue: UPDATE ....

Witt19 · 01-18-2004, 09:48 PM

well, the car will try to actually start up a bit if i pull the fuel pump fuse and spray some carb cleaner into the TB, but if i hook the fuel pump back up , it wont even come close, it will just crank over and over again like it did before. Any suggestions why it would not even try to work with fuel pump hooked up?

i'm really out of ideas here...

It's almost definately the fuel system then. Try different injectors/rail, new fuel filter, maybe even a new pump if you have one.

probably a pump. the injectors would not fail all at once. Plus fuel pumps are a common problem, especially if youve been pushing it hard by boosting it.
