Try turning the key on for two seconds, don't turn to the start position yet, then turn it off, then back on for two seconds, then try to start it. It sounds like you are losing fuel pressure and by cycling the key, you will be re-pressurizing the system. It's usually caused by a faulty fuel pressure regulator that is not holding pressure properly. This will not set a diagnostic code usually,and on the rare occasion it does, the code will read as a "lean" problem.......not enough fuel

ever change the fuel filter, is the fuel old, ever cleaned fuel injectors, is air cleaner clean, ever changed the spark plugs?????

this is a faulty fuel pump you must replace it it is located in the gas tank.

POSIBLE FUSE BRAKE SWITCH OR SHIFT INTERLOCK

Sounds like a fuse.

Should be able to check the fuses visually. Look for one that has the small metallic connecter (center of fuse) burned or broken. You can buy a small package of replacements from a part store. Ensuer the package has the correct fuse (there will be a color to the fuse, as well as an amperage printed on the top (i.e., 4A). Here is an image of what they typically look like: http://www.electronics123.net/amazon/pictures/afu.jpg.

what's the question be specific

oil light means loss of oil pressure.. not good ..check oil level fill to full if low..low oil pressure will cause fuel pump to be shut off..

The fuel pump shut-off switch is located in the front passenger's foot well, behind the kick panel. The reset button for the fuel pump shut-off switch is accessible through an opening in the kick panel.



Use the following procedure to reset the fuel pump shut-off switch.
1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
2. Check the fuel system for leaks.
3. If no fuel leak is apparent, reset the fuel pump shut-off switch by pushing in, i.e. down on the reset button.
4. Turn the ignition to the ON position. Pause for a few seconds and return the key to the OFF position.
5. Make a further check for leaks in the fuel system.


Hope this helps.

there are two fans, one comes on with the air con, the other when operation temp is reached . check fan fuse and censer if ok check fan motor.

A detent is a notch or notches in a part used to keep a shifter (in this case) at a certain position. Be that an automatic or stick-shift. You can imply that the shift pattern on a stick-shift has detents for each gear as the shift lever locks and slides in and out of each position for that gear to work when the clutch is released. The detents on an automatic can resemble "steps" which engage a different gear or series of gears(drive) when a certain step is locked into position by a pressure bar or pressure lever. Sometimes the pressure bar or pressure lever is spring loaded and your hand works against that tension to select a gear or function(drive). There may be an adjustment for the spring tension, or the spring is too weak and the shift assembly must be replaced. With electronic shift solenoids, some of the shift assembly is different than with the old-style mechanical shifter. The action may be fly by wire with electronic shifts. I do not know what you have, so there may be differences.

The Flywheel sensor is now only working properly.There will be no 400 rpm idle ever.There is nothing to do about transmission. u r good to go...

3 in the front valve cover and the 3 back ones are located under the intake manifold

radiator blew cause of your thermostat..gear sound cause of low level or low grade transmission oil...

Sounds like a blown head gasket - This will damage the transmission of the SUV if the hoses where blown off the radiator . Had it happen to a car. When the gasket is blown pressure builds in the vehicles cooling system until it builds to a point where it blows the hoses off the pipes or blows up your radiator. The transmission may also have a cooling system that has been damaged from the pressure build up. Get a radiator dude to put a cap on your radiator with a pressure gauge and then run the engine and see if the pressure climbs on the cooling system.
