1996 406 engine fuel problem

Please can anyone help. i cranked my engine the other day, it fired up for a little then died, when i removed the pipes from the fuel filter underneath the car, no fuel came out the pipes but the filter had fuel coming out of it, i'm also not hearing a 2 second "whistle" injection ? sound when my ignition is usually on, please can anyone advise what to do ? I see there was an answer posted for a 1996 diesel 406 by Lloyd Deakin here: http://www.fixya.com/cars/t3682740-ran_peugeot_406_out_diesel_think Which i think seems to be relavant to my problem, but my car is petrol, does it also have a primer system and where to locate it ?

SOURCE: oil coming out of exhaust and whistling turbo

it sounds like your turbo has packed in firstly the oil seal in your turbo has failed thats why ur seeing oil from exhaust & the whistling from turbo is the vanes in turbo breaking up so i would advise not to use car until new turbo is fitted & inter cooler pipes and inter cooler itself are checked & cleaned for swarf from turbo you can check turbo by disconnecting turbo pipe &inspecting turbo vanes (fins) to see if broken up or any damage to chamber.

Thes have a weak point with the pump in the tank. It is under a cap under the rear seat, get someone to turn the ignition on and listen if no noise give it a tap and see if it whirrs, slacken a pipe on the filter and see if there is pressure, if not the pumps are available from factors or on line.

1999 Chevy Blazer. It won't start and run. It will crank when first trying to start, then dies.

Question edited for clarity and fix typo.
Question moved to model category.

'Cranking' is purely the engine turning over. It cranks, almost starts and then it does nothing next time you turn the key? Flat battery.

Or, you turn the key, it cranks, fires and almost starts and then dies? More reasons for that scenario. Check for diagnostic trouble codes. Did you disconnect the battery when you replaced the fuel pump? Did it work after that? Does it have an engine immobilizer and did you reset it after the disconnect?

Truck fires really well but wont start, seems like no fuel

Please define "fire power". Is this just the power from the battery swinging the engine, or did you check if there is a healthy spark on the plug wires? If an engine dies without warning, the chances are very good it is the crank angle sensor in which case there will not be any spark on the wires even though the starter will swing the engine quite lustily without starting.

Buick lesabre nightmare

Need to get a scan tool and look at the data stream while it is running for alot more info.Also any trouble codes.Sounds like initially,the engine isn't getting any fuel.I would have a pressure gauge connected to the fuel rail on the engine,so i could monitor the fuel pressure while all this is going on.Items to look at on the data stream would be timing,what timing is the PCM commanding for the engine.Also,have you checked for continuos power feed to the coils during this no start condition,and fire at the plugs while cranking.You could possibly still have spark,but maybe it is extremely weak?I have seen bad ignition switches cause weird problems before too.Many things power up through the ignition switch,just a thought.Have also seen bad PCM's cause strange problems..38 volts is a little on the low side for GM.Usually see those at,at least .50 and up,and rise steadily while pressing the throttle,up to just under 5.0 volts.Potentiometer with 5 volt supply.Vacuum leak can be checked with engine running at a steady idle speed,spray brake cleaner all around the intake manifold and listen for engine speed change.
