Car started then stopped after a minute.

I could not get it to start again. There is a new battery in it and a half tank of gas. I had a new computer installed in May so I am praying it is not that. It is either electrical or something with the fuel. I had a new fuel pump put in about two years ago. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

SOURCE: 98 Grand Caravan 3.3 engine starting / running problems

A bad earth connection point on my New Zealand model Chrysler Voyager LE (same car as yours but right hand drive) caused similar problems, including the towing thing. My dealer told me that they would be busy for 3 weeks - dealer talk for "we would prefer to sell you a new one".

A bunch of black wires connect to a chassis ground bolt on my model on the right hand side wall, under dashboard height. I was "lucky" to have the fault present when investigating it, and testing I did afterwards proved this to be a definite cause. You have to remove some covers and pull the floor carpet away This may be on the left on your model. A plug in connector is used, to bring multiple wires together at this point. All I had to do was undo the nut and clean the metal of the bolt and earth lug - use a file or sandpaper, and maybe spray on some WD40 or CRC to impove conductivity. I added an extra washer to help the metal to metal bond also.This seems to have fixed the problem. It has been OK now for about 1000 miles. Good luck !

SOURCE: 99 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD turns over, wont fire

I had a similar problem and believe it or not it was the CAT. An easy way to test for this is to remove the O2 sensor right in front of the CAT. Once you removed it, plug it back in while unscrewed from the exhaust pipe and start up the truck. If it runs fine, the CAT is your problem. This is just a guess and it would be an easy and very cheap($0) test. You did not say if the truck was diesel or gas. Mine is gas that was exhibiting the same problem as yours...good luck!

SOURCE: Car stutters like it's starving for gas. Have a

Gas cap has no bearing,lol. Check the wiring under the battery tray. They're notorious for corroding through the wiring & cause a short to the ecm. This results in retarded timing & wierd stuff going on. Write back if you need more. Old car,lots to check.

After driving at 35 to 45 per mile for 15 to 20 miles the car hesitating, jerking and stop it will start again by permiting it to sit a few minutes

Sounds like a gas tank full of crud. Check gas filter to see if it is dirty. Also water in gas will clog gas tank filter then when car stops water will disburse and collect when engine starts again.

Car shuts of suddenly while driving. Starts back up after 20 minutes.

When the gas-cap is plugged, you build up vacuum in the gas- tank and cause the gas flow to stop.
Use premium gas only, ETHANOL in the mix is attracting moisture/water which is part of the problems.

Put new fluil pump in and ignition mogul in wont start why is gas coming out of the bladder bag

Need more details but bladder bags are mainly for race cars. Do you mean gas tank ? Does it leak when over half tank ? If so then you may have a leak in the seam of the tank or a hole. Does the car turn over but won't start ? May want to have your bypass control module checked. If the BCM is tripped the car thinks it's being stolen and will turn over but cuts of the gas pump. Replaced mine 4yrs ago and no problems since. The bypass control module HAS TO BE BRAND NEW. Cannot buy a used one since it cannot be reprogrammed.

Knocking engine

You may have pumped a tank of bad gas originally. It might have had water in it along with some other bad stuff. The knocking could have been the water - water will not compress like gasoline will.
I think I would take a sample of whats in the tank and examine it.
You may have to try flushing out the fuel system including the injectors.

I have an Audi A4 1995 automatic and is not starting,fuel half tank,battery new,its just cut off the engine when l stopped by the robbot please help?

Fuel in the tank doesn't mean fuel in the engine. Have the fuel pressure tested, maybe the fuel pump in the gas tank failed, the age of the car would make it a prime target for failure.

My Saturn has been sitting in my driveway for about a year and a half. We just replaced the battery and the fuel filter and when I try to start the car, the engine turns over, starts for a minute, and then...

If the gas in tank is that old you need to drain it. Once you have good new,clean fuel in tank. Turn key to run position,(do not energize starter just want red lights on dash to come on) listen for fuelpump whine. It will shut off. Turn key off.Turn key to run again, listen for fuelpump again. Turn off key again. Repeat this procedure total 5 times. On last time turn key to engage starter. It should build up enough pressure & fuel & start right up.

Car will not start after winter storage and battery change

open the gas cap and leave it off for a few minutes then put in a can of STP gas treatment with fuel injecter cleaner and add about a half tank of gas and check all the fuses it may be a blown fuse to the fuel pump relay as well

Lite poped on for gas filled it and now wont stay going

You got a tank of bad gas. You need to drain the tank and refill with good gas. If that doesn't resolve issue you need to check fuel pressure to see if the fuel pump gave up on you.
