Check for power at fuel pump. If no power, test fuel pump relay

This sounds like the fuel pump is shot. The pump has a 'dead' spot and when the engine is started by using 'nasty' starting fluid it will go to the running mode and run fine. Never use starting fluid!!! A bit of gas is best, just use common sence. Frankster016

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

I suspect that your spark plug wires or your distributor is going out. Check your spark wires and distributor. To do that take out #1 spark plug wire from the spark plug. Next take out your spark plug then put it in the spark plug wire. Then turn on car and take a look at the spark plug to see if it's getting a spark. Do this with all the spark plug. If it is your spark plug wire I would replace all of them.

Spray some starter fluid into the throttle body to see if it will start. If it does, you have a fuel problem.

Where do I spray starter fluid in an 05 chrysler pacifica..ran out of gas and hoping it will start with the spray..did put gas in

Remove the air intake from the air filter container to the throttle body. Use only a quick shot of starting fluid. Can you hear the fuel pump run? Power cycling the key should get fuel flowing and is safer than starting fluid.

I am working on a 86 ford festiva. I pulled the car in changed oil. Went to pull back out. Car cranks but no fire. It has mechanical fuel pump on rear left of motor. I checked and have gas to throttle...

Try spraying a little bit of starting fluid down the throttle body them try starting it.If it starts then replace the fuel pump because if you have enough fuel and you have spark then it should start.

I went out this morning to start my 2001 Galant and it's turning over but won't start. I've never had problems with it starting. I ran it 2 days ago only for a few minutes and today it's only 4 degrees...

well first of all. check to see if fuel is reaching engine, the line may be frozen. if so, put dry gas in to displace moisture in fuel line. just make sure its getting fuel and spark. try this! spray some starting fluid in throttle body. and if car runs then quits then you have a fuel problem. im from n.y. state and it gets pretty cold here in winter. just remove air intake hose to throttle body to spray in it, the big hose from air cleaner. have a good day !!
