  • Car wont start

    Ok, so my car died last night in Mcdonalds drive through, which is weird. After some cranking it started back up, it acted like it had ran out of gas, but i have half a tank. After i started it up it ran fine th rest of the night. Went home got up this morning, and it won't start. It turns over and everything, but wont start. I'm pretty sure it isnt getting gas. Theres no gas smell, and I pressed those relief valves on the fuel lines and nothing came out. Checked the fuses and relays and they all seem to be fine. I also can't hear the fuel pump turn on either, I usually can. Do you think the fuel pump is the culprit here?
    Thanks

    Check for fuel pressure at the injectors

        Doh, if you can't hear the fuel pump prime it's probably the fuel pump.

          Well i put a whole new sending unit in it, at least i though it was new, with a new fuel pump probably 10,000 miles ago, but I got it off of Ebay. I have another fuel pump and sending unit so if thats what it is I will just switch the fuel pumps and see if that works.

            Sounds like fuel pump, you checked all the wiring at the fuel pump too? Im sure you've done this, but maybe change fuel filter. Goodluck let us know how it goes

              yea i just chaged the fuel filter a month or two ago. I'll check the pump out and see when I have time to.

                  i would try changing the fuel filter again, its very possible you got bad/dirty gas and it clogged it.

                    no i un-did the fuel pump's fuel line at the sending unit and no gas came out so i know the pump's not working. weird thing is it started later that day after it wouldn't earlier in the morning. I drove it to my dads so i could work on it, and it died once, but started back up. now it wont start again, even after changing the pump

                      Make sure your tubes are clamped down very well on the pump. I had a mysterious problem once.. Bought 2 walbro's cause I thought I had a defective one. Just turned out to be the tube.

                        wouldnt think it would be the tubes since its the factory sending unit and it doesnt prime anyways

                            Ah yeah my bad. I see now. Have you tried changing out the fuses and relays anyways? Like.. borrow one from something that matches? Unless that's how you checked them already.
