2004 900 efi mountain cat no start, seems like no spark

New stator less than 100 miles. Could be his be the throttle safety switch? Ran fine shut it off went to start next morning no go - turned the heat on in the shop came back an hour later fired up? Ran it for 20 minutes ran fine even shut it off warm - fired right up. I put anew set of plugs in tried to fire it up later in the day no start? Wiring harness looks fine? Any ideas?

SOURCE: 1994 Honda Accord LX will not start 190k miles

They are two most common problems with this vehicle that will cause it to do this 1 bad distributor and the other bad MAIN relay. I need you to check for spark and gas when this vehicle does not start, contact if you need help checking when you figured out whats missing when you fail to start I will give you the answer, Good luck and thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: 03 winstar won't start, shakes ,back fires, fires 3times dies.

More than one issue, maybe? Also consider other experts' solutions.

First, it sounds like the EGR valve is sticking open. The exhaust valve is supposed to be closed when idling, otherwise open. It recirculates exhaust back into the manifold; can't idle car very well when the valve is open, but should not cause backfire.

Backfire, is generally an ignition timing issue: the ECM (electronic control module) is responsible for that. Check it / replace it.

Worst case: small break in one of the head gaskets (not likely, but symptom is the same).

Vacuum leak, too???

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction!

Where is the location of the fuel pump relay for 2004 Lexus RX330?

does it start with 5%(a tad) right foot throttle pressed?
is the IP cluster, IMMO lamp happy? (immobilizer)?????
check all fused first? NOT RELAYS.
check spark first if engine itself tests good.
the classic way for 100 years a test spark plug used.
if spark is good then spray test fuel works.? FOR 3seconds
if that works, then fueling is bad. (no start)
the knock sensor does not kill spark. (it fine tunes spark timing only and only if the engine pings going fast.

then scan the pCM OBD2 port for DTC errors.
check fuel pressure, at the rail.
ok dead fuel pressure.
fuel pump relay is called on this car
AS EFI MAIN relay
HORN RELAY SAME (SWAPS)

if the PCM detects spark bad it cuts fuel dead.
to prevent crash and burn as see on TV..
the crash sensor also trips the pump off line.
page 553 users man
FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF SYSTEM The fuel pump shut off system stops supplying fuel to the
engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine
stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the engine
after the fuel pump shut off system activates, turn the ignition
switch to "ACC" or "LOCK" once and start it.

we can not guess engines
or what spark system used due to huge changes
in 1997, all related to USA smog laws.

My sidekick will just die or barely run it died

last year, OBD1 car (dumbb ECU)
no scan tools for it
if you run on the road with that hack , and wreck
expect a nice fire. fuel fire.
if you used a voltmeter and say 12vdc there, all hotwiring stuff
need not be done. (
it stalled (misfire)
and then would not what? start but cranks ok?
4wd?
3sp ,4sp auto or 5speed stick
16v engine or 8v, both are G16s but EFI radially different.
16v is MPI with 4 injectors, 8v is 1 injector TBI
try a new
cap,.rotor spark wires and spark plugs yet?
cant burn fuel with bad spark
i guess the cam bent did not slip as it run ok later, but is 60,000 mile belt. and will slip ignored.

next time it stalls
check headlamps they work, and all electric
then see if CEL glows key on, i must or ECU lost power
it has 3 fuse that can rust, IG coil, FI, and DOME.
the CEL must glow, is first checks.

I have a 2000 Saturn sl2 and it won't start...it is getting fuel and spark and the only code it is throwing is for the throttle position sensor...the last time it ran it started and ran for a second and...

Absolutely if the TPS throttle position is out how can your EFI computer communicate with it if it is malfunctioning!!! Replace the throttle position switch and drive on

Battery works - I get nothing when I turn the key to start it.

It may be the neutral safety switch. Turn the key while moving the clutch in and out...see if anything pops.. Check for a fuse on the safety switch...should have something noted in the owners' manual.. The n.safety switch is the place to start.

Chev. S10 starts but stop's immediate when hot

check compression, at that many miles the exhaust seats could be wearing up into head causing valves to stay open longer loosing compression,while the engine is cold oil is thicker ,lifters pump up further do to thick oil when oil thins out you have less lifter pump up thus working working properly check compression cold should be 125 low to 155 any less than 100 you have valve prob.
