You have to fix the problem causing it first. Find out what is missing. On some newer cars, it is easier to check for spark, than it is for gas. On other newer cars, it is hard to find out either, or, because of their lack of having high tension wires. What year/type car do you have? E-mail above.
What make of car and year would help ? A good place to start looking is does the car have an electric fuel pump ? If the the fuel pump is getting worn it will cause the problem you are having , hope this helps
A typical senario with fords in general.
Just a stab in the dark.
Has it got spark.
To test for spark, place a screwdriver in the end of the lead. wave the screwdriver over the rocker cover about 2 to 3 mm above it and get someone to crank it. If you see no spark, I'd replace the ingition module.
It's located inside the distributor.
You will need to remove the distributor to replace the module.
You will need to mark the dizzy. I usually you a centre punch. Punch two dots, one on the head, and one on the dizzy, next to each other. That will tell you the position of where the dizzy goes.
Next remove the dizzy cap.
Notice where the rotor button is roughly. Cos the dizzy can only go in two postions. The right position and 180 degrees out.
Undo two bolts which secure the dizzy and remove dizzy. Good oppotunity to cha nge the dizzy o-ring cos they often leak after disturbing the dizzy.
Dismantle the dizzy and replace the module. Pretty self explanitary.
To test. With new module in, turn ign on. and spin the dizzy byt hand, you should see spark.
That's usually what goes wrong in Fords if it's got no spark. If it's got spark, is it getting fuel. Pull hose off end off fuel filter. and see if it's pumping fuel. Check both sides of the fuel filter for blocked filter.
If not pumping, replace fuel pump. They usually blow a hole in the diaphragm, so it won't pump fuel.
Other then that, that's what usually happens.
I would only imagine one would first have to diagnose why the engine wont turn over??? is it the battery???starter???bad connections at the battery,solenoid??? defective starter solenoid??seized engine??hydro locked engine???no ignition key in ignition switch???broken ignition switch???vehicle unable to shift into park????No engine oil in engine for quite some miles, a metal pipe stuck into the engine oil pan(flew up under your car while driving high speeds on the interstate) and you didn't realize it until you got into Florida from the occurance 1,000 miles back in New Jersey??Is this your vehicle or a different vehicle that has all the same equipment as your car and is also parked in a Wallmart parking lot and you are not aware of the differences but can't get the ignition key to turn on due to the indifferencesLOL, good thing the doors were left unlocked????
At any rate when the condition is determined then and only then can one attempt to make the needed repairs.For example if the starter is defective....replace the starter....if its the battery....replace the battery....if its the wrong vehicle parked in a similar parking spot to where you parked your vehicle....locate your vehicle and attempt to start it.
There are the failure triangle to test first:
From there you have to figure out why you don't have one of the needed triangle.
In order of probability for cars more than 8 years old, the order changes for newer.
The starter turns the engine over.
That engine needs fuel, compression and spark to start and run. You are missing one of those.
A good place to start would be to pull the starter out and have it tested. Here most auto parts stores will test a starter for free.
You can if you put it in neutral and push it to get a good enough start and try starting it and if it does then try to put it in drive and go yes and no you can not push start an automatic car. but if you can get it up to about 35 to 40 mph and put it in drive it will work but it is not worth the trouble . I would NOT do this unless you want to take the chance of buying a new transmission. You can not push start todays automatic cars. The engine drives the transmission hydraulic pump, not the driveshaft. Only the early Hydramatic transmissions from the 1940's and 50's you could push start if you got the vehicle up to aprox 25 mph or more.
If not working or defective - you can't start the truck. It cuts off the fuel pump. Will it work and cut off later in a crash situation? LoL
?æWhat is wrong, would depend on any other symptoms that have happened along with this. Most commonly, it is electrical or lack of fuel.?æ
you probably have a problem with the hyper exhaust battery reacting with the chemicals in the external manifold drive
If someone turns against you,they start behaving bad. They start ignoring you and not caring for you.
if it is front wheel drive then you need new drive axels
check the compression on it if it turns over and doesnt start you might have fried the rings
no.. it should start at 8 or 830 so the parents can get to work. If it started later, it would have to end later. I would personally like more free hours in the evening, so not for me
If i were you i would start with the catyletic converter ,it'll start cold,start for a minute then stall, start back up but wont drive ,idle, but not drive ,check it out.
yo man check the spark if that's not the check firing order that's where i would start
That depends on where you start.
You need to replace your fuel pump
You need to replace your fuel pump
It has either . jumped timing
The drive gear will turn faster.If the driving gear was twice the size of the drive gear, the drive gear would rotate twice for every revolution of the said driving gear.
