Why did you replace cam , crank sensor's an the fuel pressure regulator too ? What is or was missing ? fuel or spark ? did you pull a plug wire an check spark . Does the check engine light ,light when the key is turned to the run position ? Do you have a professional type scan tool ? Do diagnostic's ,not guessing an just replacing part's . 056 Engine Hard to Start or No Start Misfire Scan Data 048 Engine Hard to Start or No Start Scan Data for Starting Problems
(55-62 psi) VIN: (V, T,U)
335-375 (48-54 psi) VIN: Z
So you have checked if your pump is engaging, have you checked fuel pressure or if injectors are opening? And your spark plugs look ok but have you checked for spark? Any check engine light or light on the dash?
Sounds like an ignition or timing problem. Is the check engine light on ? This engine uses a direct ignition system which means each cylinder has a coil on top of the spark plug. It could be as simple as worn out spark plugs. If you had said the engine backfired and was hard to start, but no flooding, I would also look at low fuel pressure. But too much fuel causes flooding. A faulty throttle position sensor could cause all of your symptoms, but it should set a trouble code and turn on the check engine light.
Start by making sure the gas cap is secure and tight which can cause this. The most common cause is a random misfire. Your vehicle is 9 years old, so replace the spark plugs and plug wires. Have the check engine light reset and it should solve your problem. If not, have it diagnosed by a professional with a code reader.
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed
fluctuates enough to cause the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor signal
to vary, The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control
Module (ECM) can determine that a misfire is occurring.
When is the code detected?
- Engine Cylinder #5 and #6 is Misfiring.
Symptoms: - Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Lack/loss of power - Hard start - Engine hesitation
Possible Causes: - Improper spark plug at cylinder #5 and #6 - Insufficient compression at cylinder #5 and #6 - Incorrect fuel pressure - The injector circuit is open or shorted at cylinder #5 and #6 - Fuel injector #5 and #6 may be faulty - Intake air leak at cyli
Possible Solution: - Perform Injector Service - Replaced Spark Plug #5 and #6 - Replaced Injector #5 and #6 - Replaced Ignition Coil #5 and #6
