There can be a misfire too from the cylinders.

An engine that hesitates, stumbles or misfires when accelerating or when it is under load is an engine that is either sucking too much air, not getting enough fuel or misfiring. If the Check Engine Light comes on, you may find any of the following codes:

• P0171, P0174 Lean fuel condition codes
• P0120 to P0124 Throttle position sensor codes
• P0222 to P0229 Throttle position sensor codes
• P0400 to P0409 EGR related codes

If there are no misfire codes, a common cause of acceleration stumble is a bad throttle position sensor (TPS). The TPS tells the computer how far the throttle is open. The computer uses this information to determine how much fuel is needed to maintain the correct air/fuel mixture and when extra fuel is needed if the throttle suddenly opens wide.

Another common cause is dirty fuel injectors. If varnish deposits have built up in the tips of the injectors, they won’t spray as much fuel as they normally do, or will “dribble” fuel instead of spraying a fine mist. This creates a lean fuel mixture and conditions that are ripe for stumble and hesitation (also misfire). Look at short term fuel trim (STFT) and long term fuel trim (LTFT) with your scantool. If the numbers are high, it tells you the engine is running lean and the injectors need cleaning. Treat mild cases with a high quality fuel-injector cleaner additive. Severe cases require professional cleaning equipment.

Also you might need to run a test on your starter/ fuel line for blockage. I suspect the fuel line blockage not getting enough fuel to engine but we cannot rule out other things around the engine transmission.

Good luck and rate this solution, please.

Passat 1.9 TDi motor AFN 1999. It will not start.

if it is not a common rail,loosen fuel injector lines and see if fuel sqirtsfrom them when engine is cranked over,if no fuel comes out try "bleeding"air from the fuel system via the lift/priming pump and the bleeder screw usually located on top of the fuel filter,if you do have fuel sqirting om the lines when cranked,check out the "glow plug"system,if this system is faulty,use "starting fluid/either"" to start motor and check for other faults

2001 dodge stratus will crank but won't start

Three things run a motor fuel, fire and air. That leaves a wide variety of issues and possibilities. The easier cheaper issues to check for first include fuses, relays, fuel filter, fuel line and injector clogs, spark plugs and wires, ignition coils, fuel pump.

89 mitsubishi carby model has spark and pumps fuel to carby but the spark plugs are dry just keeps cranking but wont even try to fire also has good comp,was driving till water pump blew now just wont fire...

Check that the fuel pump is working and pumping fuel (fuse or burnt out) as it sounds like there is no fuel in the carby. To check if the engine is going to run remove the air filter from the top of the carby and pour about a table spoon of fuel directly into the carby throat. Replace the air filter and crank the engine. If is going to run it will fire and then stop

Jeep cherokee cranks but no start

this is a fuel problem, fuel pump is bad, or fuel filter is clogged up. check to see if fuel pump is working. check fuses and relays if it does not work. to rule out a bad fuse or relay.

1995 Camry won't crank....still

First check all fuel pump relay is working. It should say on the fusebox cover which one it is. Also check for any blown fuse associated with the engine. The fuel pump wiring should be accessable from the back area under the carpet there is a cover which can be opened by removing some small bolts or screw. Make sure the wire to the pump is getting power when the engine is being cranked.
