1994 Chevrolet Lumina 3.1 will not start - after starting with ether runs fine.... 1994 Lumina 3.1 will not start - cranks but won't start. While cranking shoot ether into intake - starts immediately and continues to run fine. Had friend put OBD diagnostics to it and error code indicated fuel pump. So I'm a little confused - If pump is bad, why will it run fine after getting it started? No I haven't checked fuel pressure yet, but will.. THANKS

Had friend put OBD diagnostics to it and error code indicated fuel pump ????? No code indicates replacing any part . Indicates testing ! pressure and flow testing , voltage drop testing the electrical circuit etc... There is a check valve in the fuel pump assembly that is suppose to keep pressure in the fuel lines an fuel rail . When the check valve goes bad allows fuel to drain back into the tank. Try turn the key on an off a few times to build up pressure . The PCM energizes the fuel pump relay for two seconds at key on .

SOURCE: intake gasket went bad on 1998 chevrolet lumina

There is None to my knowledge.. Ive done thousands of them.. Its way too hard to explain.. I did my first one by the seat of my pants.. only advice I can give is : Dont mix up the pushrods!! If ya do,, it'll warp valves bc the intake and exaust push rods are different lengths

SOURCE: Chevy S-10 Start problems

If hall effect switch was bad you wouldn't get any spark.What year 2.5L is this?Is this a 2 injector Throttle Body? The pink wire on top of injectors comes thru a 20Amp fuse controlled by the Ignition switch you should have battery voltage with key on The dark green and dark blue wires come from the pcm which are called injector drivers the drivers supply a pulsating ground if you crank the engine with a test light between either pink/dk green or pink/dk blue test light should flash dimmlythat would mean injectors are being driven but there isn't any fuel at the injector or the injectors are bad no pulse means either a bad computer ( which these drivers are known for going bad)or the computer isn't being commanded to fire the injectors.

Starts but won't keep running then won't start

Check your Fuel Pressure and if that is good (over 40 psi)

then check your Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

and seeing that it is a Mid-90's Chevy.. MAF Sensor is going bad.

If you UNPLUG your MAF and see what happens.... MAF is in the Air Intake with a 4 wire...

1997 chey lumina runs fine until motor warm-up then shut off and won't start until motor cool off

Try getting your transmission solenoid replaced. After I got mine replaced it ran fine after that. That's the exact same thing my Lumina was doing.

Van won't start but runs fine when started with starting fluid.

your fuel pump is probably going out and cannot provide enough PSI without the extra voltage from your alternator

Car stalls after A short drive and wont start and run for only A few seconds also runns rough

After it stalls and won't start check for spark and fuel. If it is missing spark, check the crank sensor and the ignition module. If it has spark check the resistance of the injectors.

1994 chevy lumina van. It will start and idle but stalls when gas

Try replacing the throttle position sensor. I had the same problem in my truck. It would start and run for a bit but as soon as you let off of the pedal, it would die. Try it and see if it works.
