A BAD CRANK SENSOR WOULD NOT CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP. ARE U SURE ABOUT THAT, THE FUEL PUMP ONLY RUNS FOR 1 SECOND WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON UNBLESS ENGINE IS STARTED. DO A FAULT CODE TEST ON THE COMPUTER, GO TO THE WEB LINK FOR INSTRUCTIONS AND A FAULT CODE LIST, VERY EASY TO DO.

    Hello, I have a 1992 D150 / 5.2V8 / 5 Speed / 2wd. I had a no start condition. The engine would crank but no fuel pressure at fuel rail and no spark. Replaced Crankshaft Sensor and truck fired right up. Will do tune up before it gets to cold.

    the crank sensor doesn't affect the fuel pump, it will cause no spark, I have the factory service manual and looked this up, so you most likely have a pump that is sticking and this caused a loss of fuel pressure, happens most in cold weather conditions, so it may act again.

  • adantis654 Dec 01, 2010

    Okay then. So it seems that this was just a coincidence that after replacing crank sensor that fuel pump started working. I will let truck sit outside today (suppose to be 25 degrees today) and check fuel pump pressure. What would the specs be for fuel pump pressure? The truck got “sick” when the first cold spell came through. I will also check for codes.

1993 dodge spirit died & smells like gas is leaking. Now it cranks, but won't start.

Check your spark plugs, are they soaked with gas? Check for external gas leak, under the vehicle, under the hood, fuel lines, injector/s, fuel pressure regulator where applicable. Check your evap system.

Have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the plugs. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes?

My 1993 dodge shadow died and wouldn't start back it turns over but won't spark. When I turn the key I get the code 355 or 13 What does this mean

Check the codes again- there are only 2-digit codes. Code 13 is saying "MAP sensor is not detecting any change during self-test". It could be a bad MAP sensor (Manifold Absolute Pressure-the vacuum sensor for the engine), but sometimes it can be a wire harness problem. If a new or known-good Map sensor doesn't fix it, you will need a mechanic to check the MAP sensor circuit.


Usually when an engine dies and won't restart, it is a gas or spark problem. Listen for the fuel pump to turn on with key in on, not start-it should turn on for about 2 seconds to put pressure in the fuel line and up to the engine. If the pump is working, next check for spark at a spark plug wire, with the engine being cranked over. If you have a blue, snapping spark, the ignition is probably good. If no spark, it could be a bad ignition coil, a bad Ignition Control Module, or possibly a bad Crankshaft Position Sensor.

No power to fuel pump

Please be advised the fuel pump only is powered while the engine is being cranked or has started. Are you still sure the pump has no power? The relay and fuel pump cutoff crash switch or under the hood near the battery in a black box.

1997 dodge ram won't start. My fuel pump does not run and coil won't spark. Iv'e checked fuses and relays and they look fine. Could a bad fuel pump cause the asd to kill power to the coil?

First check any ignition/fuel related fuses. Check to make sure you have 12 volts coming into the pump and coil. If nothing to the fuel pump replace the fuel pump relay - if you do have power to the fuel pump then replace the pump. If nothing is coming to the coil it is either an ignition relay or a wiring issue. If you have 12 volts to the coil but no spark then replace the coil.
Also the fuel pump/relay would not kill the coil.

We changed the cam sensor in our 1993 3.3 dodge caravan, but we still do not have spark.

generally the spark would be from the crank sensor or the coil or ignition module or the computer could be bad. . Also if the ASD relay is bad you wont have spark and possibly no fuel pressure.

Audi 100s 1993 cranks doesn,t start, turns over no start. when it starts runs rough and stalls.

could very well be a faulty sensor, leaky vaccum hose, bad coil packs, needing of new fuel filter, spark plugs, wires.

Have you checked your fuel pressure to make sure it is good. You can do this with fuel pressure tester on the fuel rail.

Also check every cylinder for spark
If you don't have any spark, or very weak spark, you could have bad coil pack, module, or crank sensor.

You can remove one plug at a time, and place it back on plug wire, place it on top of engine block, have someone else turn motor over well you observe to see if there is spark.

Do you have a service or check engine light on? If so, I would have the engine codes read to pinpoint exact problem area.

Let me know if you have any questions or need further help
