1997 Chrysler Cirrus Logo
Posted on Sep 06, 2010

The car cranks but won't start. There is no spark, no fuel, no injector pulse. I have manually made the contacts in the shut down relay still nothing. I jumped the fuel relay and the fuel pump runs and I get gas but no spark or injector pulse. I replaced the ECU with a module from pick and pull still nothing. I have red that the cam and crank sensor can shut things down. What do I need to do next?

If you remove the fuel line and crank the engine and get fuel then you could be assured that the crank sensor works but if there is no fuel while cranking then the crank sensor is most likely the fault. If the crank sensor is not the problem then it is most likely in the coil or distributor which the 97 is notorious for.

1989 HONDA PRELUDE 2.0 HAS A CRANK NO START OR INERMITENT START HAS SPARK, IS TIMED CORRECTLY FUEL PUMP COMES ON BUT NO POWER AT FUSES 1,3

May need special priming sequence for pump. Haynes manual should have the proceedure. My van has a safety switch like that. Contacts have to be shorted for exactly 5 seconds with key on for mine to reset and prime in tank pump.

2004 Chevy Aveo in Minor fender bender now won't start where is fuel shut off reset

Technically, you don't have one.
If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse. Any applicable trouble codes?
If only a fuel issue, check voltage and ground at the fuel pump, note the wire colors, also, check the fuel pump relay.

I have a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville that is shutting off while I am driving. It eventually starts but it happens over and over. I changed the fuel relay switch but it still happens. what next?

How long since a tune-up? Are there any applicable trouble codes? Some of the national brand auto stores will check codes free. Does it stall at idle or going down the highway?
With extended crank, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and check fuel injector pulse.

If injector pulse is missing when problem is ongoing, two things I think of, do you have an rpm signal and security system where applicable. The rpm signal comes from crank sensor. Intermittent problems can be a pain to track. Don't replace anything unless your testing points in that direction.

Why do I suddenly have no injector pulse?

Is the vehicle equipped with a security system that may be tripped? If so, the injectors will shut down. The injectors are grounded by the PCM . You may have an internal Issue with it. Is the spark also shutting down when the injectors aren't working? If so, this could be a crank shaft sensor failure. Is there any diagnostic engine codes that can be retreived to possibly isolate the problem?

No injector pulse on 94 grand am 2.3dohc

Fuel pump relay may be weak. Try removing the connector from the oil pressure switch and connecting the terminals together so as to bypass the switch.
if this works, replace the relay.

2005 Dodge Grand Caravan won't start

Make sure the battery has a full charge. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, also, check fuel injector pulse. If your missing everything, check cam and crank sensors.
With engine cranking check primary voltage to coil and fuel injectors, brown wire with white tracer. If no voltage leads back to asd relay. I'm not saying that relay is faulty. You can see fuse for that relay, that fuse circuit is hot all the time. The computer grounds the control side of relay if it sees proper cam and crank signals.

Engine cuts off when hot

When the problem is ongoing, check the basics. Make sure battery has full charge. When the problem is ongoing if it cranks good but won't start, Have a helper crank it while you check for spark at the plugs. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure. Also, check fuel injector pulse.
Trying to find what is missing, fuel--spark--whatever. I can only help with testing, you have to do the testing.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado wont start. Cranks, but injectors do not pulse( fuel rail has pressure.)

If computer sees no crank sensor signal it shuts down pulses to the injectors. But, you bring something new into the mix. Make sure fender grounding is good so the relay can operate properly and make sure power going to it is not restricted by a loose or dirty contact on the power side.
