I changed my fuel pump in my 03 saturn vue, is there a switch that i need to do something with if so where is it? It cranks but won't start... if i pour gas in the intake area it starts but dont stay running? I was told to look for somekind of switch?

need more information any check engine light //does it restart intermediately-- no start --no crank --overheating ---check key if loose in ignition can cause shut off ignition switch can be worn or damaged --fuel pump -fuel relay going bad --overheating --egr valve carbonning up---tune up -these are the usual's

I would start with the ignition switch.

Engine needs to crank over strong and steady to have a chance of starting. Youi said it has a poor crank. Battery may be low or bad. If you get the engine to crank over corrrectly and it srill does not start check fuel pressure, spark and injector pulse.

first of all, check the fuel pump relay to see if it is going bad. if it is ok! also try this, Have a person turn key to on,, and put your hand on bottom of fuel tank. if the pump is turning on, you will feel a vibration in tank. you may have to do this a few times. the pump only turns on for a few seconds to pressurize system, or to get fuel to the engine. just keep turning key on and off to recycle fuel pump. Good-Day! Hope this helps! relay for pump may be bad.< Check this first.

check the crank shaft sensor ,check the timing belt . check the coil , check the fuel pump pressure

Could just need a complete tuneup...I would try that first..Maybe have a pressure test done on the fuel system. hope this info helps and if so Please rate this post and good luck.

Done cars have a kill switch if they are low on oil. Check your oil. If the oil is good, it may be the ignition switch.

If the engine fires up for a second or two with starting fluid then the fuel pump is weak.I would check the fuel pressure and if its not within the specs then replace the pump and filter.

Non-start situations basically boil down to two things: No Fuel, or no spark.

I you are looking to throw a part at it, start with the crank sensor. They are cheap and not too hard to replace.

A full diagnostic approach would be to determine if it was a fuel or a spark problem. Check fuel pressures with a fuel pressure test guage: Low fuel pressure indicates a bad fuel pump or a bad fuel presssure regulator. Lastly on the fuel side, check t see if the injectors are getting a signal to fire, usually done with something called a noid light, I believe.

Spark diagnosis begins with first determining the condition, then finding the cause. Bad coil, loose wires, even the crank sensor are all suspect. A good repair manual with a flow chart is probably the best procedure to follow.

In my case, my manual only had a passing reference to the crank sensor and no diagnostic procedure to test it or even lead me to it. I found the solution through extensive web searches. Once I replaced it, all was well.

Sounds like the fuel pump may be going out. By the way the power steering is electric in Saturn, so it does not require the engine to be running.
