Engine turns over but it's clearly not getting any gas. It's getting spark from the plugs. Fuel pump is kicking on and It's pulling fuel up. Car started with starter fluid, but when we revved the engine it choked and died. Any suggestions? I know when i changed the filter it was full of grit, so i'm wondering if a clogged line is possible,or if it's air? Any useful hints to check?

I changed the fuel filter, dropped fuel injector cleaner into the tank... injectors are about a year old from the turbo build... it's still doing it!... I need help! Not sure if I need to replace the fuel pum or what... __________________ 2LT Rodriguez CA ARNG TURBO 96' Sport, Alaska Blue, Auto Custom JohnBoy Turbo, Midnight-Tunning Software, HKS BOV, e-Pod Gauge Pod, BavAuto Springs, Bilstein Sport, e30 3.73 LSD, Depo P36, Apexcone 55w HID, OEM Spoiler, M3 Lip, M3 Mesh Grill, Crossdrilled Rear Rotors, M3 Front Brakes, Sparco 3 point Harness, Euro M3 Wheel, K&N cone, Clear Corner/Sides/Tails, M3 Center Console & Arm-rest, M3 Red Cluster Needles, M3 Mirrors & Side Skirts, RD Exhaust, DS-1 wheels!...

(like no HP but still drives). Is the CEL ON? It could be as simple as the gas cap gasket going bad. Mine is on the verge of going bad and sometimes it does it. Also check the gasket of the oil cap, but that one makes your car stall at intersections. Not sure if that will help, but easy/cheap things to check. The gas cap will throw a CEL, the oil cap might throw the Oil light or CEL but not sure anymore. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
