SOURCE: chrysler 3.3 vin r v6 mini van, starts then dies

Charlie. You have replaced the ECM on your van?.
Kedwin,, Your problem is, the computer on that 3.3 L.
Need to be programed with the VIN nember of your car.
The Antitheft System will disable the injectors due a incorrect VIN, Bucause the body computer is not recieve the correct pasword between 5 seconds after start up.
YOU have 2 options. 1 get a ALOHA Smith. some of they have the computer required to program ECMs.

The other option is: Get a new ECM from the dealer, They will program if ask for that.

NOTE:::::: Other way is . Put the body control module with the computer from the same car.

OK... I hope this work for yours.
If NOT letme know I can look for more information.
Thank you.

SOURCE: motor stalls when driving then starts and stalls right away.

Replace the distributor's magnetic pickup located inside the distributor surrounding the distributor shaft, the only other thing thankfully on this ignition system if memory serves me on the f 150 straight six 300 cu inch is the dura spark ignition control box, of course do the obvious tune up parts replacement dist.cap rotor,plug , sparkplugs before spending the $40.00 - $50.00 bucks on the dist.. pick up, you may have a weak a fuel pump check for adequate fuel pressure at carb 7 - 10 lbs.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? It sounds like a bad fuel pump.

SOURCE: '87 dodge raider wont ilde.

My 88 raider did the same thing. As long as I had my foot on the gas pedal it would run but if I lifted off the gas it would die. It ended up being a vacuum line. I can't remember which one (possibly the AAP) but not sure. I did replace the AAP diaphragm and all of my vacuum lines.

I find it hard to start my l 200 after running several minutes.i could start it in the morning after I on the switch what ,s the problem.

May just be a bad temperature sending unit. Once warmed up, it's supposed to go off cold start, which puts more fuel to the engine. If sending unit is not telling the computer the engine is warm, it will still be putting more fuel into the engine and flooding it, making it hard to start. Check/replace said sending unit and you're good.

Service engine light

repost with codes and you will recieve the help you want... the systems monitered by the light are all directly related to a running engine. turning over slowly could be battery or starter (cold weather does affect battery charges).

1999chevy blazer, needs either to start, has 55 lbs. of fuel preasure, and after 1 hour still had 55lbs. but left gauge on overnight and read 0 this morning. leaking off somewhere

That's not enough fuel pressure. The CPI fuel injection requires a minimum of 58 psi in order for the mechanical poppets to open and deliver fuel to the cylinder. One psi under the minimum pressure will cuase the vehicle not to start. If it starts with either and continues to run than that supports the lack of fuel pressure diagnosis. Once the engine is running the poppets are unr vacuum and require less fuel pressure to operate and the engines continues to run.

Kia sportage 2000 engin chech signal come but not go hard start

If the vehicle was running hot it will continue to overheat until you locate a coolant leak and repair or replace the leaking part. It is critical you do not wait to repair this. You must first add water to your cooling system before you can troubleshoot the problem. Add the water while the vehicle is cooled down. If the vehicle is having trouble starting it is possible that you have allowed the engine to run hot too long. You could also have a head gasket leak from the motor. This could let coolant leak into the oil and you can check your oil and find a milky white substance that is a mix of coolant and oil. If that is the case you need to take the vehicle to a motor repair shop. To troubleshoot leaking cooling system get or borrow a cooling system leak check kit. It screws on in place of the radiator cap, you pump it up and use a flourescent light to then look in the engine compartment under the hood for a dripping green coolant leak. Good luck.

I have 2000 Taurus with 3.0 DOHC engine. That car always have a hard time to start the engine when it's cold in early morning. Why?

IF IT ALWAYS STARTS FINE AFTER IT'S BEEN RUNNING THEN YOU NEED TO HAVE THE BATTERY TESTED,TRY TO START IT WITH BOOSTER CABLES TO CONFIRM.

Hard to start cold but once running is ok

I believe you have a throtle body correct? IF so you have poor fuel pressure, plugged filter of injector.If by some miracle you have a carberated engine the the fuel is leaking from the bowl. Get a carb rebuild kit.
