HELP! Car won't start - Page 2 - SRT Forums

midwesrt4 · 01-16-2013, 08:43 AM

ok. I just have to wait for the people behind to move their vehicles so I can get mine into a flat parking spot. right now it's on an incline. I'm thinking maybe the fuse from my rewire went bad. I mean it has been about 9 degrees out here for awhile, and during the day the roads are wet from melting snow, but at night it all freezes again. And these are the times that I have to go to work and what not.

My guess would be FPR/Filter. Maybe pull it out, let it warm up a bit, re-install, and try again?

Blown fuse= No power= No pump. You said you can here your pump prime.

Until you check fuel pressure, you are wasting your time.

This has to be the pressure

Oh yeah. Does it have enough fuel? Sometimes a weak pump will come back alive enough to start and run with more gas in the tank.

i had an issue like this like 2 months ago I stopped at advance auto parts and then when I came back think start. the battery was fine coils and wires where too. try to jump started and nothing. So i took the risk and bought another battery and it finnaly started. took the old battery to get checked if it was good or not and it was good the guy at the auto parts said that it may have been that the pcm needed a reset for some reason. finally put the old battery back in and started up fine. so disconnect the battery maybe it'll start.

Cam position sensor/magnet, fuel pressure regulator/filter, coil, plugs.....take your pick.

I just dealt with a similar problem I could faintly hear my fuel pump turn on, but when i would check my fuel pressure ( At the end of youre fuel rail theres a small pressure fitting with youre key in the on position press the tab in with a small screw driver or w/e fuel should gush out) I wouldn't have any it turned out too be my fuel pump rewire relay but yeah Fuel/spark/compression is all it takes to run an engine also a good way to check you're spark is too remove you're spark plug attach it too a spark plug wire and crank you're engine if you see Sparks you're obviously getting spark I would recommend checking spark before checking fuel pressure lol.

Thanks for all the help everyone. It turned out to be the power wire for my fuel pump rewire was seating right and wasn't making a good connection. It's all fixed now and running good! Thanks again everyone
