SOURCE: quit and won't start

Does it make any sound when you try to start it? Quite often helpful to know. I've helped start a number of vehicles by tapping on the solenoid--sometimes the teeth get off by a bit and a tap gets them back--usually a specific noise if that's the prob... The two main things that keep a car from starting--battery and fuel. Hopefully when you installed the battery, you cleaned the connections real well--sometimes they look fine, but can't get a connection. #2, check the fuel filter, simple thing to overlook, again it can seem like it's fine, but it's clogged, may or not affect the pressure.

Beyond this--try these, much more detail than I'd want to type here.

THE FUEL PUMP IS BAD.

if your losing fuel pressure after the pump runs the drain back valve in the pump has failed.

and i doubt that you are seeing enough fuel pressure to run a vortec engine.

low fuel pressure equals a non running vortec

Have you checked that engine oil level is okay, if so check that oil pressure switch is good. The switch is usually bypassed to start the engine, but it won't run with no oil pressure indicated...hope this helps

SOURCE: 87 chevy 350 fuel injected pickup wont run smoothly

sounds like your egr valve is gummed up or bad. this is located behind the throttle body and has a single vaccum tube connected to it. if the diafram is still good you can remove it and clean it with WD 40 until the plunger works smooth

2000 9.5 running fine I stoped and it wont start is cranking fine wants to start but wont

First step is check fuel pressure. There should be a port on the fuel rail that you can uncap and put a gauge. (if you don't have a gauge you can push in and see if there is pressure. The fuel will squirt. Turn key on and push in like you would to remove air from a tire.) IF there is no pressure, you begin checking fuel pump. Start with fuse, if fuse is good and you find power at the connection to the pump then suspect bad pump. Most of the cars I have towed in over the years that needed a fuel pump said exactly what you said. "Ran fine, (I stopped to get gas, parked it, etc.) and when I went out the next time it would not start."

Spark is a second think, but rarely when you have a direct coil pack. Check the fuse for the coil pack.

My 96 volvo 850 gtl2.4L ENGINE CRANK OVER BUT WONT START I REPLACED THE INGNITION COIL \ POWER STAGE WITH NO RESULTS.PLEASE HELP

Reasons for engine turning over and not firing are simple. Spark or fuel. If you've changed the coil packs then chances are it's a fuel issue. Get in cab and turn ignition to second position whilst listening to back seat. You should hear the faint noise of the fuel pump working. If you can't, I suggest you firstly check your manual to find the fuse/relay for the fuel pump and check that. If they are fine, you need to replace fuel pump.

If you can hear it working and it still won't start, remove the fuel line going to injector rail and point into a jar whilst someone turns engine over. You should have fuel coming out. If this is fine, go back to ignition, remove a spark plug and turn engine over checking for a spark.

My bet is your fuel pump has packed-up. Good luck diagnosing.

Turns over but wont start

you need to find out if your missing spark at plugs or fuel pressure,you could hear the pump but that doesn't tell you if you have 5psi or 55psi,
you will need a fuel preesure gauge and check that on the fuel rail redd valve if you end up having spark

Wont start but ,turns over allright

Sounds to me like you have a problem with either spark or fuel. If it is turning over fine than you are getting voltage. You need to check and see if the spark plugs are firing and check and see if fuel is being pumped up to the fuel rail. Once you can confirm those things for me we can continue with the diagnostics. If by doing the above helps find your problem, enjoy.

2004 tahoe. Worked fine two days ago. Wont start but turns over. replaced fuel filter,now what?

check for spark and fuel at the motor! take one of the spark plug wires off and remove the spark plug and put the wire back on it and rest the spark plug on a negitive ground point and have someone try to start it and see if the is spark. to check to see if fuel is getting up there locate the fuel presure relief valve on the fuel rail that the injectors are connected to and while someone it trying to start it depress the valve and see if fuel squirt out.

No start

Check for fuel supply and spark availability to cylinders. Must have both that is a good starting point to determine fault.

1999 ford Explorer 4.0 v6 4x4 will cranck but not start has spark

Honestly it's probably just dirty spark plugs. Did you pull any of the spark plugs and inspect the tips for build up? A couple things to remember:

1.) If the timing chain broke, the valves wouldn't be opening so you wouldn't have any air coming out of the exhaust during crank. You said it smells like you're getting fuel, so I'm assuming that means you're smelling the exhaust fumes, right?

2.) The crank sensor tells the ignition system when to send a spark to the plugs. If you're getting good spark, it's unlikely that the crank sensor is faulty.

If it's too soon for spark plugs to need replacing, check your sensors. A faulty oxygen sensor for example could cause your engine to run 'rich', resulting in faster crud build up on spark plug tips.
