what kind of car? could be sucurity issue, does sucurity ligth flash if equipped.gmjim its a 94 e320 6cyl. it has problem starting and no fue; preshure. but if we un hook computer let sit for min then replug it will start and we replaced computer still does it
INSTALL A NEW FUEL FILTER FIRST. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK CHECK FOR FUEL PRESSURE WHEN YOU TURN THE IGNITION ON. THE PUMP RUNS FOR 10 SECONDS AT FIRST TO BUILD FUEL PRESSURE. IF NO PRESSURE IS THERE AFTER THE PUMP RUNS FOR 10 SECONDS REPLACE THE PUMP.
Don't know what your vehicle is but if it is fuel injected, it may have some fuel pressure but if it doesn't have the required amount of fuel pressure it isn't going to start. Do a fuel pressure test, you may have a bad fuel pump or bad fuel pressure regulator. Also check all the fuses. Also check the timing belt if it has one, it may have jumped or broke.
You need to check the fuel filter and the fuel pressure regulator.
minimum fuel pressure is 52 lbs to start
Fuel pump is bad.
Get a can of throttle body cleaner.....spray throttle body cleaner into the throttle body.....open the blade and shoot some into the throttle body. Then try to start the car...if it starts, then you have a fuel delivery problem. Hook a fuel pressure gauge to the fuel rail and just turn the key on and see what pressure you get. If no pressure then it is either your fuel pump OR a clogged fuel filter. You can then put a new fuel filter on, test the pressure again and if still no pressure, you are pretty much looking at the fuel pump. If you get fuel pressure at the fuel rail and it still won't start then you probably have an injector problem.
You may have some fuel pressure but not enough. Do a pressure test with a fuel pressure test gauge, it should have 41 to 47 psi to properly run the engine. Sorry, But that engine should have 9 to 13 LBS. of fuel pressure. No lower are higher are you will have problems.
pumping probably isn't helping if the truck has fuel injection. extended cold crank times are often caused by a bad cold start injector or the control for the injector. also if there is no fuel pressure (i.e. a fuel pressure regulator that is leaking back into the tank as the car sits), it will take awhile to start.
Start with a fuel pump pressure test.
Did you change the fuel filter? Have you checked the fuel pressure regulator?
you have a lack of fuel or fuel pressure troubler
Most likely a fuel issue. Hook up a pressure tester on the fuel line and test it. It should come up to pressure immediately. If it takes a few seconds or longer then something is wrong.
