Stoopid Hipster Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 does anyone have a fuel pressure gauge I can use we had a crowed out to the house and we didnt find shit wrong with the car had the volt meter allll over testing everything had 10 people pushing it trying to bump it we were pushing it in gear even lol and it was kinda puttering like it was on two cylinders checked for fuel spark and air have them all what is strange is we only hear the fuel pump when cranking not before it tho to prime it thought that was strange well I guess I should say that drink it down said he couldn't hear it. so Im now down to checking compression and fuel pressure and then am officially out of ideas.

ansonivan Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Have someone operate the starter while you blast a healthy dose of carb cleaner/starter fluid into the intake. That will eliminate or confirm fuel system problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickey4271647545519 Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 i would think that if it's not even wanting to start on ether then you would have an ignition problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I suppose the only thing left to try is possibly another set of coils. We were getting spark, but who knows. When we were pushing it it was sort of sputtering to life for a split second, almost as if it cant quite burn the fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
