Your timing belt might have busted. Mine did that in November of 2007.... I had to replace 2 of the 4 cylinders, along with the timing belt and housing. Total cost was a little over $1700.00

Hi,
is your car a GDI engine? If it is GDI you can't really hear the pump working when you put ign on.
Give me some details and I might be able to guide you there.
Chassis, engine numbers, GDI ??

Well the only thing i can think of is when your fuel is below half a tank the pressure relief valve and a rubber hose between the pump and the fuel line is exposed. Its possible your fuel is leaking back into the gas tank as it sits overnight, ect. You may want to perform a fuel pressure check when the the gas is at 1/4 tank and been sitting for awhile, pressure should hit 55 seconds after key is turned to run position.

SOURCE: Car is running fine then

I had the same problem, but only when it rained. There was a crack in the ignition coil unit and the water was creating an arc. When I drove long enough to heat the engine and evaporate the water it would run fine. Strangely, though, I still had to stop and restart the engine. $150 bucks the replace the ignition coil, and now no problems (at least with that)

SOURCE: 98 gmc jimmy loses power to a stop

the fuel pump could actually be malfunctioning. and the reason that you are able to restart and drive again is because when you turn the key on it is allowing the fuel pump to pressureize your system. but while the fuel pump is continuasly running it is loosing the fuel pressure. this is common on the cheap fuel pumps. i am not sure about were you got the fuel pump from but in all of my experiances with this problem i find that the fuel pumps have been boughten at a napa store.
i hope this helps you out.
and you could attach a fuel pressure gauge on to the fuel rail and start the car and watch the pressure to see if it is droping.

There is a red switch on the left side of my 96 toyota pickup. I touched it. It stalled and now my truck acts like it is starving for fuel. How do I fix it?

I assume when you switched it back on the truck started but now runs fuel starved.
I won't go into cause lets just try simple things to start
  1. With truck key off/out flip the switch on then off.
  2. turn key to on position switch it on then off
  3. try start and see how it runs. NO fix
  4. shut off and disconnect the negative - battery cable for 5 min (may lose radio sets)
  5. Connect back and try it again.
Should have reset the fuels elect system and be ok. If not give me a shout. I'll check back from time to time today

1991 dodge colt vista hard starting.

what your describing is bleed down. Usually it's a stuck open injector that is allowing the system to bleed down requiring you to turn the key on and off to recharge the fuel system with fuel. before it starts. A shop can verify which one or more is the culprit.

Car not starting

pressure guage should stay after you turn-off the ignition switch. check also if your engine has a cold start injector. it may be restricted.

The first time I start my 96 2500 diesel every morning it starts great but then in about 5 seconds it starts to starve for fuel and I have to hold the accelerator down or it will go dead. After the first...

It sounds like the sendary or low volume pump is not working when cold ! Its also possible that the primary pump is doing the same thing ! There are updates on parts to move or consolidate both pumps ! Basically when you first start your truck your running on the fuel thats already in the fuel housing and then it runs out or low due to insuffecient supply !

My jeep is driving fine, but it starts very hard in the morning - I have spent so far almost $2,000 in various parts at the dealership, but the problem is still there. Any suggestions?

If you would share with us all that was done , it may help us to diagnose the problem more efficiently.

I spend $2000 at the dealership , doesnt help much.

My first gut feeling is going to be a fuel pressure leak... overnight the fuel pressure could leak down... and cause the engine to starve for fuel durring morning start up.

You can check this by doing the following next time you do your morning start up proceedure.

Turn the key on , but do not attempt start the vehicle yet.
turn the key back off.
turn the key on... until you hear the fuel pump pressure has built again.
turn the key off. and then back on ... and after the pump stops... try to start it.

Hello, I have a 96 mitsubishi galant es that wont start

could be the crank sensor, you need to check spark and fuel delivery, if you have fuel then its got to be the high tension side of things that are wrong, does this model run off a coil pack for the ht, could be that, you said you change the alternator, check connections at the rear of alternator, this could be the supply for the ht etc,good luck.
