I take it that your engine is a diesel (glo-plugs) in which case the pumping of the accelerator is just good exercise for your leg but does nothing for the engine as it does not have an accelerator pump. faulty glo plugs will only make for hard starting on cold mornings so that will be out also. So the next ting that will give some idea as to the problem will be to have the fault codes read and that will show up the area and sensors that are causing your faults.

It could be the mass air flow sensor. Its mounted to the side of the air cleaner. Just unplug the electrical connection to bypass the unit. If this is the problem the vehicle should run smoothly.

Possibly you have a porous sump in the fuel tank.

Cheak your fuse under the drivers side under the hood. Look in your manuel for fuel fuse. It looks like a little black box.

SOURCE: car wont start, acts like

Check the battery +12v power connection to the starter is in good order,
Check the ground connection between the battery negative and the engine/starter motor is robust and intact.
If no problem with above, replace the starter motor.

Hi Beverly, I believe you may have a problem with the fuel filter or fuel pump. Regards John

My 03 duramax started fine this morning but only ran for a fiew minnuts then shut off on its own and now it wii turn over but not start it seems to have fuel pressure can it be cam sensor or crank sensor...

To start with, a Duramax Diesel runs on an excess of 20,000 Psi of fuel pressure. Unless you have some specialized equipment,(and know how to use it) I do not know how you could possibly tell that the fuel pressure is OK.

Duramax Diesels also have had a lot of problems with glow plugs. This could explain why it will not start. Then again, it COULD be something totally different like a bad sensor. This could even be caused by a faulty fuel pressure sensor or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

The best way to find out is to scan the engine computer for fault codes and read the engine data from the computer to see if all of the sensors are providing the correct input to the computer.

Turns over good but wont start, ran a little funny a couple of days ago . Today started and died , then ran all the way home ! Tonight went out to sart it , it didnt want to start then the 2nd time it...

Check for spark-if you have a tachometer, see if when you crank it the tach needle moves-if not, you probably need a crank sensor, which are not too expensive or difficult to replace.

My Mazda mx3 starts up idles for a couple seconds then dies.

Before you replace the fuel pump, I would check the cheaiper parts first. Such as fuel filter and injectors.
