SOURCE: My car won't let me pump gas In

sounds like the filler neck for the fuel tank was kinked when the fuel tank was reinstalled after changing the fuel pump. Bring it back to the place that put the fuel pump in and im sure they will correct it for you

SOURCE: 2000 Eclipse wont start, fuel in plugs

I hate to be the one to tell you this but if there is fuel,oil,water getting into your plugs than you have bad rings. the vehicle will not start because it is not getting enough compression to do so. If you love the car and would like it to run again it will cost about $1000.00 to have the rings done if not more. But since there is water than fuel getting into your plugs than it is a defenent sign that your rings are bad.

SOURCE: fuel pump is good car wont run i hot wired pump

ABSOLUTELY it will hurt the car!!! "Hotwiring" ANYTHING in a computer-controlled vehicle is a serious risk! If the fuel pump circuits are not working, there is a reason for it. You may have possible wiring harness damage causing the initial problem. Hotwiring the circuit could potentially smoke some high-dollar computer equipment or at worst, can burn your entire vehicle to the ground. You could be sending voltage not only to the fuel pump, but also to the place where the wiring harness is possibly damaged. Also, your fuel pump system is not designed to run at all times. The system is designed to turn the fuel pump on for just a couple seconds to "prime" the fuel rails, then shuts the fuel pump off until engine RPM has reached a specified set point. Failure of this safety feature can cause your exhaust to losd-up with fuel and cause an explosion. It is also designed to shut off in the event of any collision that would be bad enough to deploy the air bags - to prevent fuel spraying everywhere in the event of an accident. Hotwiring would defeat this extremely important safety feature. This would not only affect YOU in the event of an accident, but also anyone else that tried to HELP you or possibly anyone in the OTHER vehicle involved. Keep in mind that you are playing with gasoline - AND electrical circuits by doing this. (not a good combination) One ounce of gasoline has approximately the same potential energy as 100 pounds of TNT! I highly recommend getting the problem PROPERLY diagnosed and repaired!

92 vw passat 2.0 16v wont start.

I bet it's the gas. After some time the gas will no longer be volatile enough to start the car. Try draining all the fuel and putting in some fresh gas. Remember, when you try to start it again you'll need to get the new gas through the pump and lines before it will start. Also, check the condition of the injectors. Old gas can start to break down and build up a film that could be on your injectors (or clog your fuel filter- better check that too). Hope this helps.

Okay, you need to make sure the fuel pump is getting power and that you have the lines hooked up correctly. Also, when you replace fuel pumps you need to remove the air cleaner and use starter fluid to get the engine started.

I have a 1989 cadillac deville 2 door front wheel drive i just changed the fuel filter in it and i pour fuel injection cleaner in the gas tank. when i pour gas in the carberator it gives a little start to...

absolutely. if you pour gas in the carb, and it runs, then dies, you have a fuel delivery issue. if u put a new fuel filter on , and then let it sit for a year, it can still be a problem. fuel gums up and clogs up stuff, so it could be the jets on the carb are clogged, the fuel bowl is clogged with gummy fuel, the fuel lines could have a clog, or it could be a bad fuel pump. but if your like me and you forget to drain fuel and then dont drive the car for a year, you have something clogged up with bad gas and it needs to be cleaned / rebuilt.

Truck has set for two yrs. i would crank an go around the coner put insurance on it drove a few days later it started running sluggish it kills at stop it cranks right back i put a tune up changed plugs...

After sitting for 2 years, the gas has moisture/water and it's pretty much not gas anymore. It's like your car needs 87 octane and you are running on 80 octane, just enough to fire off but not strong enough to to keep a good idle/firing. I would drain all the gas out and use a higher octane gas for a half of tank just to clean the lines and injectors. Fill the tank up 1/2 with high octane and use a bottle of injector cleaner. This should clear up the sluggish problem. Also it's a good idea to change the oil and run an engine cleaner through. Drain a quart of oil, and pour in the engine cleaner. Let engine run for about 5 min for oil to heat up and circulate. Drain oil and change oil filter, put in new oil.

Just bought a 1984 mustang its not run for years and wont start it turns over getting gas to the carb and has fire not sure about wiring

Any time a car sits for a long period of time you should completely drain the gas tank. The gas is more then likely stale. Try pouring a little new gas into the carb or use starting fluid. If it starts you have found your problem and will more then likely have to drain and clean the tank and replace the fuel filter.
If it does not start with the new gas, it is either a compression or timing issue. If you have spark at the plugs, and GOOD fuel in the carb and it still wont start I would check the timing. If the timing is on, check compression. If the engine sat to long with no oil in the cylinders they can build up condensation and rust. Then when you try to start it with the rust in the cylinders it can destroy the rings and cause compression loss.

2000 grand prix, 3800 when it warms up losses power

I would have to say the fuel/water separator filter is clogged up. The filter will remove water and crud from the gas. It looks more like a small can under the car. If the car set up with a low tank of gas, water will condensate inside and once the new fuel sloshes around it gets all this junk off the walls of the tank and that gets sucked in the filter. Try and replace that first..

Car wont start

If it has been sitting for 3 years it could be a number of things. First thing to try is a good tune up (plugs, wires, oil change, air filter, and fuel filter). If the plugs have fouled out they are not getting enough spark to burn the fuel. Also if the fuel itself has turned, you should try to drain the tank, this is not feasible at times and can be substituted by adding as much fresh gas as possible and a can of Octane boost/ Gas drier. SeaFoam is what I would recommend (found at your local autoparts store. If you have over half a tank of gas that has been sitting that long, you will need to find a way to drain what is in it. There are a few tricks to doing this without dropping the gas tank or sucking it out with a garden hose. Try the tune up first though.

check if you have a drain plug in your fuel tank, if none, then there is no easy way but to bring down the whole tank and remove the old fuel. be careful in handling fuel.
