put a little bit on gas in the carb and start it up
Likely if it is an earlier model carbureted car, the gas level in the float chamber might be too low, and when you start up the hill not enough gas is getting into the engine.
of course not it doesn't have feelings like a human or animal, the engine will simply just cut out and not start again until you refill it with gas
Add gas, crank engine. If it doesn't start in about 30 seconds, it was not out of gas and you have a different problem.
Engine will loose power, engine sputters or stops running, GAS GAGE SAYS EMPTY
Clean out the carburetor with gas, the reason it wont keep running is its not getting enough gas through the carburetor.
Because the engine may need to be flushed because trash has gotten into the tail pipe.
because your engine is going to break down or when you start the car if the whether is cold, it makes it smell like gas
If your engine has a carburetor, a small amount of fuel will be sprayed in to the intake manifold when accelerator is depressed, and engine isn't running. This is fuel stored in the accelerator pump reservoir to prevent hesitation. So if the engine isn't running, it will spray the first time accelerator pedal is pressed and it won't introduce additional fuel no matter how many times you press the gas pedal after the first press. The engine needs to be running for the accelerator pump well to refill. If your asking because you're wondering if pressing the gas pedal will flood the engine making it hard to start, the answer is No, it won't flood the engine. If your engine does not have a carburetor, then it's fuel injected. No fuel at all will enter the engine with the gas pedal pressed, engine not running. The engine has to be cranking (starter engaged to start engine) for the fuel system to operate. 0 chance of fuel if the engine is not cranking or running to activate fuel injection.
To start a Saturn after running out of gas, a little ether sprayed in the carburetor might help. Another way to start a vehicle after running out of gas is to pump the gas until it gets enough to start.
I had problems on occasion with my first car (1979 Pontiac Firebird) having the engine flooded. (When starting, I "pumped" the gas alot, quite often "flooding the engine".) Naturally, a flooded engine is (darned near) impossible to start. But the "quick fix" I found was to hold the pedal to the floor while turning the ignition. It was eventually able to start and burn the excess gas. Note: This trick only works on carbureted models. So in nutshell: Floor it, turn the ignition. (And try not to pump the gas so much before you start it next time!!!) -Ric
No, but it could cause the check engine light to illuminate.
what if he gas is going to the engine but the car want start?
