Fuel / Air mixture delivery issue if starter fluid gets it running.
Clean Throttle Body and MAF.
Check Fuel Pump pressure.
Clean fuel injectors.
Check spark plugs for condition and gap.
Make sure air filter is clean.
Battery voltage 13.2 volts
Test fuel pressure with gauge (free loan-a-tool from many parts stores). When it won't start might try small shot of starter fluid. If it starts then it is likely fuel system issue, if not check spark.
IF IT WILL RUN WITH STATER FLUID YOU HAVE A FUEL ISSUE. SINCE PUMP SOUNDS DIFFERENT I WOULD START THERE. CHECK FOR VOLUME & PRESSURE ON FUEL RAIL IF IT NOES NOT THEN THE PROBLEM IS IGNITON, CHECK FOR SPARK
If the starting fluid works then you have a fuel pump or a fuel pump relay issue. The fuel pump relay allows the pump to come on for about 2 secs and prime the fuel system. Once the engine starts then the power to the fuel pump runs through the oil pressure circuit. If the car starts on starting fluid and then continues to run... I would lean toward a fuel pump relay issue. Hope this helps, Good Luck!
Is the fuel filter ok? - fuel pump ok? Sometimes a new fuel pump is faulty. You may need to check your fuel pressure. Could even be a plugged fuel return line. PS be careful using starter fluid - it can be hard on an engine. Le t m e know. Thanks
are u aware that the fuel pump and the fuel pump connector cause this problem in this year? replace both and the problem will go away, to verify the issue spray starting fluid into the intake next time it fails to start, if it starts then the pump and pump connector to the fuel tank are the culprit.
hi is there fuel getting to engine?any vapour coming out exhaust?sometimes glow plugs not working can cause this.try a squirt of easy start into air filter.NOT MUCH!!READ INSTRUCTIONS.HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.then start car for about 10secs.get this from car accessorie shops.if it fires on this its highly likely glowplugs not working or fuel pumptiming out.its hard to say without seeing the car
