You must have left a "ground" wire off or loose. Also, if there's a multi-connect where the pump plugs, disconnect it and spray it internally with CNC electronics cleaner. They get corroded and lose conection....

Most cars have abs wheel sensors on every wheel. If they get a little dirt on them it can set off. Cleaning the sensors will do the magic

First thing is first, check that all of your fuses are good. There should be a fuse block under the hood, if you get power while crabking the motor over your fuel pump relay may be bad. The relay should also be located in the fuse block. If you have a good relay and power on both sides your oil pressure sensor may also be bad, but you will need a volt/ohm meter to actually diagnose the problem. Good luck, fuses and relay are simple/ cheap/ and easy

parts store has Super Trim Adhesive that is in a spray can. works really good. just spray it let it set for a few minutes to get tacky then put it on.

EGR valve is sticking...replace it

follow damaged line each direction and unscrew from each end any auto store can assist you with replacement line in length and connections ---reconnect new line --now you have to bleed the brakes --open master cylinder and fill with brake fluid --start at rear passenger side and start bleeding to get air out --than go to rear drivers side and do same next is pass-front and finish with front drivers side than your done

that is the low tire pressure sensor. one or all your tires are low

Here is an example of a stupid question A guy --- tells you with no testing-- you have a fuse problem,really! Can you tell me the problem--NO ONE CAN It won't start --so someone on the internet should be able to guess at it,again with NO TESTING what so ever Tell them what's wrong with the radio,again really,The Car Won't Start, who cares about the radio,you can't use the car

Yes. There are at least as many grounds as there are electrical loads such as light bulbs, solonoides, etc. Withought the ground they will not work.

You need a system diagram or schematic of the evap system To to it correctly, verse throwing parts at it & fail,you should next use an evap smoke machine to test the entire system Item three-you now diagnose your codes & component test the solenoid that failed the smoke test-- if the code is not specific to a system part Four-you can test them with a feature on a professional scan tool if that feature is avail or unplug the solenoid & put battery voltage to it,still connected to the smoke flow The code is vent control circuit malfunction--so is there a failed part or do you dig deeper I suggest you find a shop that says what I'm saying & can convince you they have a smoke machine & a data base to find those items & not just hang parts based on a code & lack of knowledge & experience & there are many shops not up to speed out there

Go to Autozone ( or similar). They will read your code(s) for free and print them out for you too.

First of all, the new fuel pump may be bad. disconnect line at fuel filter where it goes through filter. and see if fuel flows, or have someone to put hand flat on bottom of tank and try to start car. if fuel pump is working you will feel a vibration on tank. if it does not work, check the fuel pump fuse in fuse box before you exchange it.and or the fuel pump relay! when car is running it runs constantly, when you simply turn key to on position, it runs for about 3 seconds(until fuel pressure in line comes up. and then cycles off.

That's because that's module its bad you need to replace it there is no code only its id

You will need a scanner. There is one available on Ebay and elsewhere for 5 to 10.00 called the ELM327, it is a Blue-tooth device for Bluetooth equipped laptops and/or Android phones. If this isn't quick enough try www.kijiji.com to find a local back-yard mechanic that will scan it for you for 10 or 20 bucks rather than 80.00+ at a dealer or garage. Keep in mind that this only is a symptom and may not be the problem but may be a wire or vacuum leak in the general vicinity of it. One could test each sensor as it should have a certain resistance value between the posts of each sensor. Not sure where you can find the specs however. My guess is that either the crank sensor or the EGR system is clogged or not functioning. Most EGR valves can be removed and cleaned and freed from sticking but a lot of problems exist where the channel the EGR takes through the intake manifold gets clogged and typically must be removed to get the carbon out. Check out the videos on youtube.com that are related to this problem and for testing, eg., one can make a gasket out of a pop can to cover the hole in the egr for a test, which blocks the hole completely - temporarily. One final option is that you have bad plugs and wires. A compression test would tell you if you have a bad valve, rings or perhaps bad head gasket. In a second test of compression one could put a bottle cap full of oil in the cylinder and if the compression goes up it is the rings that are bad. :)

Check for a cracked injector

I had a lumina that acted strange, just like this. The customer said that he could drive it a while and then it would not start. I started it and was trying to find the problem. He mentioned that when he hits a bump the car would die sometimes. So, I kicked the Right Front wheel while it was running. The car died. It did it repeatedly. I discovered that the key (with the black resistor on it) was not making good contact with the contacts in the key slot. It was an easy fix. I measured the resistance on the key resistor (black resistor on the key) from one side of the key to the other. Found a resistor of the same resistance. Installed it in the little white wires leading down the column. Fixed. No more resistor key needed. I hope this helps you. Not much information to go on. Just trying to help you out.

Have you read your owners manual? Have you stopped using the car for safety reasons? Do you have a Repair Shop you have checked out or used for decades? Have you checked for OBD2 Fault Codes & Googled them, to see the system with the fault & possible problems?

If you are able to make it satrt by grounding the relay then you know for shure that the ac system works fine . But you have a problem on the driving side of the ac system . I would look for an open circuit on your pcm module that drives the relay. ( the wire between your pcm and a/c relay is open .) Try to locate that wire and see if you have overload of resistance, if yes change wire and everything is good. if not than you could have a faulty pcm output.(in that case you would need a new pcm. hope this will help you!!
