A bad Fuel Pump can cause starting problems and so can a bad timing belt. How many miles are on the car? If it's more than 100,000...take a look at your timing belt. Is it worn? Chrysler recommends replacement at 60,000 but some last up to 100,000. Any longer than that is pushing it and asking for a problem. A bad fuel pump will not allow enough fuel to fire the engine. I had mine go out about 3 years ago and had a similar problem as you are describing. I am leaning toward fuel pump on this one.
no
if its cranking but not starting most likely fuel pump
bad fuel pump relay or fuse
Does the battery have enough cold cranking amps? like 800
== == 1) add fuel to the tank 2) fill the filter 3) crank it for 15 seconds, wait 15 seconds 4) repeat step #3 5) repeat step #3
i replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump relay. the pump runs for 2-3 seconds when key is turned. after cranking for awile, pump runs for 10-15 seconds after key is turned off. sputters a bit when sprayed w/starting fluid. it is probly your fuel injectors. get them tested.
I recommend knocking it against a hard surface, such as the ground, to help loosen the lid before you start cranking it.
A good possibility would be the fuel pump which is on top of the gas tank. If you go that route, change the pump and filter. It may not be a fuel problem. The first thing to do is check for spark at the plugs. Another thing is: If you ran it out of gas, try cranking it for a couple seconds, turn the key off and try cranking it again. Do this several times till it starts. When the key is turned on, the fuel pump only runs for a couple seconds and its not enough time to get the fuel to the engine.
Is it cranking but not firing? Does it sound like there is rushing air as it cranks? Both yes.... You blew the head gasket and/or warped the head and now have no compression. :-(
I read somewhere this he cranks out a 4.32 forty.
Either the solenoid or starter has gone bad.
I would add fuel to the tank, and then use the fuel pump relay to prime the system. Good luck. add fuel to your fuel filter and put it back on and should start. On older diesel engines dont worry about the fuel pump relay. Add clean fresh fuel to the filter and hold the pedal to the floor while cranking and it should start.(release pedal when it starts)
