What do I check/do to see why the fuel cant get to the engine?
I replaced the fuel pump. When the fuel passes the fuel filter it cant seem to pass up the fuel line to get to the top. I check the fuel pressure on top of the valve and no fuel comes up...

If it really is a miss-fire, you should have a check engine light on and codes for the cylinders. I would check for that and check the fuel pressure. You did replace the fuel filter with the pump, right ?
did you install the fuel filter correctly for direction of flow.this can cause no fuel flow.there should be an arrow on the filter indicating the flow of fuel.also if this isn`t the problem then have the fuel pressure with a gauge and flow checked as if its not within specs the car won`t start.
This is just a suggestion that may fit the symptoms. It sounds like you are not getting fuel at times which could mean that your fuel pump is supplying fuel, but your in line fuel filter is getting clogged and not letting fuel pass to the injectors. The fuel that has mandated alcohol in it is highly hydroscopic and picks up a lot of water that ends up in your tank and mixes with the rust that it causes on the steel tank. That gunk is sucked up by the pump and under pressure blocks your fuel filter after a while, and is so impacted that it cuts off the fuel flow stalling the engine. If you let it sit for a while, then the impacted debris settles down in the bottom half of the filter allowing the fuel to flow, but under pressure it builds up at the exit port again. It could be as simple as changing the fuel filter.
I have the same problem for two weeks, three times I ordered dragged checked my fuel pump replaced sensor passed over gas pump and the fuel filter fuel filter checked syringes All right already and high costs
Car turns off the light in the car there's watches on 'CHECK' 'but it seems gust mal engine fuel pressure monitoring -p1181
I am at a loss and 10 mechanics only take money from me and untreated malfunction
Please note I replaced all 4 months ago all VAT radiator engine
Here are a few things to look at:
Have you replaced the air filter? Have a compression test done on the engine, could possibly be a leaking vale. If any vacuum hoses have been removed from the engine they will have to be re-installed. Solid Lifters out of adjustment can cause incomplete combustion. Make sure engine is reaching proper operating temperature (eg. thermostat). Do not use low grade (octane) fuel for test.
Clean oil, tire pressure, brake drag?, every little thing counts.
The mechanic should check on the fuel filters , the spray nuzzle and the fuel lines . The fuel filters "the primary and the secondary filters".If these filters are dirty fuel are hard to enter because the dirt keeps on blocking the fuel to pass or go to the engine . The spray nuzzle if it is also dirty then the fuel also is hard to spray or to pass for engine compression. The fuel lines if the fuel lines are worn out or have leak then it should e replaced. These spare parts if they are been worn out or dirty they should be clean or some times be replaced . for good so that fuel will not spill too much on the car.For these problems can cause fuel leaks or engine problems it will result to engine lubrication.
Hi, this is a common symptom of a clogged fuel filter that is straining the fuel pump itself.
When you accelerate, this initiates a rapid fuel flow through the lines. if the filter cant pass the proper amount, its will stall or hesitate the engine and cause sputtering or loss of power. due to this clogged filter, the pump cant keep up with your acceleration demands at this time. the reason for the power pick up upon De acceleration, is because the lower amount of fuel is able to pass through quite easily but, as soon as you demand more power, the clog will obstruct the more intense flow of fuel to the injectors.
Simply replacing the fuel filter and pump will fix this issue.
