SOURCE: 1987 chevy r10 won't start

Assuming it is a fuel problem I checked at the carb. to be sure no gas was being pumped through the filter located under the power steering pump then the fuse on my 87 s10 was the ECM fuse.then check for the relay to click and the had to replace the oil pressure sending unit and mine started right up..the oil pressure must be about 4 lbs for the Pump tp operate...I loosened the fuel line to ck. for fuel but thats living dangerously...a pressure guage would be on the safe side......

SOURCE: can't remove key from ignition. battery is dead

If the battery is dead, the ignition keys will not release from the ignition. If there is no signal from the transmission shifter that it's in park since the battery is dead, then the ignition lock will not release the keys.  After charging the battery or jumping the blazer to start it and the key's still will not release, try this. 
There is a "plunger" as part if the ignition. Under the steering wheel there is a small removable cap that you can take off and put a small screw driver up into and press the plunger in and it will release the key. Good luck and hope this helps, Keep me posted be glad to help.

SOURCE: Key stuck, won't turn, won't shift...replace ignition switch?

Try to shift your key in either direction while try to turn your steering in left and right direction. May be its steering lock which is attached to your ignition key preventing shifting of key. If not, then its obviously your ignition that has gone.
If you decide to change ignition then as a last try Dip your key in lubricating oil and then insert in ignition to turn it on. May be it can help.

SOURCE: Key is stuck in ignition

since it is stuck in the on position you should be able to change the ignition lock with the key in. it is not very expensive and fairly easy to do. you should be able to purchase at just about any auto parts store.

I have a 1996 Acura 3.5 R.L. just put a new fuel pump in and it won't start. It turns over, but will not stay started.
Check your main fuel relay.



Fuel Supply System


PGM-FI Main Relay


Description


This PGM-FI main relay is located behind the dashboard


lower cover. The PGM-FI main relay actually contains


two individual relays. One relay is energized whenever


the ignition is on. It supplies battery voltage to the PCM,


power to the fuel injectors, and power for the second


relay. The second relay is energized for 2 seconds when


the ignition is switched on, and when the engine is running.


It supplies power to the fuel pump.

Relay Testing


NOTE: If the engine starts and continues to run, the PGMFI


main relay is OK.


1. Remove the PGM-FI main relay.


2. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 3*


terminal and the battery negative terminal to the


No. 2* terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then


check for continuity between the No. 5* terminal and


No. 2 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.


• If there is continuity, go on to step 3.


• If there is no continuity, replace the relay and


retest.

3. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 4 terminal


and the battery negative terminal to the No.


7* terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then check


that there is continuity between the No. 3 terminal


and No. 1 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.


• If there is continuity, go on to step 4.


• If there is no continuity, replace the relay and


retest.


4. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 1 terminal


and battery negative terminal to the No. 2*


terminal of the PGM-FI main relay. Then check that


there is continuity between the No. 5* terminal and


No. 2 terminal of the PGM-FI main relay.


• If there is continuity, the relay is OK;


If the fuel pump still does not work, go to Harness


Testing on the next page.


• If there is no continuity, replace the relay and


retest.

Repacing fuel filter on 1996 intrepid
1) Relieve the fuel system pressure by first removing the fuel pump relay from the Power Distribution Center. Then, start the engine and let it to run until it stalls. Try starting it again and allow it to run until it stalls. Continue restarting the engine until the car will no longer start. Turn off the ignition.
2) Disconnect one electrical connector from an injector. Use an alligator clip to connect an end of a jumper wire to either injector terminal. Connect the other end of the jumper wire to the positive side of the battery. Then, connect an end of a second jumper wire to the other injector terminal. Very briefly touch the other end of the jumper wire to a ground.
3) Locate the fuel filter, which is part of the fuel pressure regulator mounted on the fuel pump module. Disconnect the negative battery cable, then lower the fuel tank. Disconnect the fuel lines from the filter.
4) Remove the fuel line from the pressure regulator. Remove the filter/regulator by pushing in on the locking tab on the filter as you turn the regulator to unlock it. Then, pull it straight up.
5) Push the new fuel filter into the fuel pump module. Turn to lock it in place. Connect the fuel lines, and then you can reinstall the fuel tank. Check for leaks when you start the engine on your Dodge Intrepid.

Where is the fuel filter on a 2005 chevy malibu, 4 cylinder
  • Remove the gas cap to relieve pressure in the tank. Lift the hood and locate the fuse panel on the driver's side. Remove the fuel pump fuse. Turn the ignition and attempt to start the car; if it runs, allow it to stall. Turn off the ignition. Remove the negative terminal from the battery.
  • 2 Locate the fuel filter beneath the car between the rear axle and the gas tank. Remove the protective plastic cover with a screwdriver.
  • 3 Remove the carriage bolt securing the filter to the frame. Detach the inlet and outlet fuel line fittings with an open-end wrench. Fuel may spill as you turn the nuts, so have rags or a small container ready.
  • 4 Insert the new filter and secure the fuel lines and carriage bolt. Reattach the plastic cover.
  • 5 Replace the fuel filter fuse, negative battery terminal and gas cap. Close the hood and turn the ignition on. Allow the car to idle for a few minutes while the new filter fills with gasoline.

    Car cranks but dose not start, there is no power to distributator or fuel pump
    I suspect the at this point, the main relay is defective. This relay controls power to fuel and spark circuits.

    The PGM-FI Main Relay is actually comprised of two individual internal relays. When the ignition switch is initially turned ON , the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) supplies ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay. This ground triggers one of the PGM-FI internal relays that sends battery voltage to the fuel pump for two seconds to pressurize the fuel system.
    When the engine is running the PCM supplies a continuous ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay. The supplied ground keeps the relay in the "closed" position providing electrical current to the fuel pump, keeping the fuel loop pressurized while the engine runs.
    If the engine is not running with the ignition on, the PCM cuts the ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay, causing the relay to "open" and stop the electric current flow to the fuel pump. As mentioned previously, if the engine is not running, the PCM will only supply ground to the PGM-FI Main Relay for two seconds when the ignition switch is initially switched to the ON position.
    The PGM-FI Main Relay also supplies electrical power to the Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve and to the fuel injectors.

    TESTING


    If the engine starts and continues to run, the PGM-FI Main Relay is working and does not need to be replaced.
    1. Locate and remove the relay.

    On some models of the Civic and Civic del Sol it is located to the left of the steering column under the dash. Many later models position it either near the passenger right side kick panel under the dash or by the driver left side kick panel up under the dash.
    1. Attach the battery positive terminal to the No. 2 terminal.
    2. And the battery negative terminal to the No. 1 terminal.
    3. Check for continuity between terminal No. 5 and 4.
    4. If there is no continuity, replace the relay and retest

    I have a 1998 vw jetta that is bogging out about 2500 rmps. I have changed the MAF, fuel pump and fuel filter with no avail. Please help i am stuck.
    just wrote this post and came across your problem i had some time ago , this will fix it . you can reset it by removing negative battery terminal while leaving positive terminal connected . open driver side door get in close door , put key in ignition turn over key almost all the way but do not start . you should here the throttle body aligning itself . leave key in this position for 15 seconds , remove key connect negative terminal and the throttle body should be set . this has been called the chicken dance and it works fine . what this does is resets the computer , key note though if you are planning to get your car inspected it will not pass until you have drove the car for at least 300 miles . being that the computer has to go through and set everything . i learned the hard way . throttle body problems usually happen when removing old battery improperly/battery being drained/improperly or jump starting the car/improperly , make sure when removing battery that the positive terminal is removed first , jumping a battery negative terminal is always connected first on both vehicles .

    2005 Honda Accord Won't Start
    Okay this is not so bad. First off you must check the battery. Go to harber frieght and get a cheap multimeter 5 bucks. Then put the leads on the battery terminals red on positive black on negative. What does it read. If it reads less then 12 volts your battery is shot. Now if lets say it does read 12 volts. Then the next possiblity is that there is a short or corriosion somewhere on the leads. So clean the battery terminals and connectors (bright shinny metal) And tighten everything back up. iF you get it started test the battery again this time with the car running and you should see 13, 14 volts. If not then your altenator is not putting out. Finally you must realize that somewhere the electricity is not getting to the starter. So trace the wires. All connection must be tight and corrsion free. Good luck.

    Starter Testing Starting System Voltage Drop Tests NOTE: The battery must be in good condition and fully charged prior to performing this test.
    There are three area of the starter motor circuits that voltage drop test can be performed on. These include:
    • The starter feed circuit
    • The starter ground circuit
    • The starter solenoid.
    Starter Feed Circuit
    1. Disable the fuel system by removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump relay.
    2. Verify that the vehicle will not start.
    3. Connect the positive lead of a voltmeter to the positive terminal of the battery.
    4. Connect the negative lead of a voltmeter to the starter B+ terminal.
    5. Turn the ignition key to the START position and note the voltage displayed on the voltmeter.
      • Ideally, there should be no more than 0.1 volt drop for each connection displayed on the voltmeter. No voltage should be consumed by the vehicle wiring
        1. If the battery cable connects directly to the starter motor there should be no more than a 0.2 volt drop measured
        2. If the vehicle uses a starter solenoid between the battery and the starter motor terminal there should be no more than 0.4 volt displayed on the voltmeter
    Starter Ground Circuit
    1. Disable the fuel system by removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump relay.
    2. Verify that the vehicle will not start.
    3. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the case of the starter motor.
    4. Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to the negative terminal of the battery.
    5. Turn the ignition key to the START position and note the voltage displayed on the voltmeter.
      • Ideally, there should be no more than 0.1 volt drop for each connection displayed on the voltmeter. No voltage should be consumed by the vehicle wiring
        1. If the battery cable connects directly to the starter motor there should be no more than a 0.2 volt drop measured.
    Starter Solenoid
    1. Disable the fuel system by removing the fuel pump fuse or the fuel pump relay.
    2. Verify that the vehicle will not start.
    3. Connect the positive lead of the voltmeter to the case starter B+ terminal.
    4. Connect the negative lead of the voltmeter to the lug (the starter M terminal) that connects the starter solenoid to the starter motor.
    5. Turn the ignition key to the START position and note the voltage displayed on the voltmeter.
      • Ideally, there should be no more than 0.2 volt drop across the starter solenoid displayed on the voltmeter.
    In general, there should be no more than a 1.0 volt drop throughout the entire starter motor feed and ground circuit. Any voltage drops measured in either the feed or ground circuits after connections have been cleaned will require replacement of the affected battery cable. Typically, any voltage drops measured in the solenoid are repaired by replacing the starter motor.

    I looked at all the steps for replacing the blower motor...they should not have messed with anything that would have affected the operation of the starter.
