so they wont steal it.
Check for antitheft system preventing fuel pump operation (look for bad lock cylinder) or insufficient fuel pulse as from improper ECT voltage.
One cause of your fuel data system not working is a faulty oxygen sensor. Another cause of your fuel data system not working is a defective ignition system.
Yes, it is more commonly used on diesel powered vehicles.
In the absence of a fuel system shut off as in an alarm system I would suspect a fuel pump fuse, or faulty ignition switch
fuel filter
yes, also no fuel pump and maybe a blown fuse.
You should have to. Any air will be forced out as you are cranking. If this isn't working then your fuel pump isn't working properly.
Answer 1I'm not familiar with a VW as new as yours, but from the starting fluid comment in your question, it sounds like there is something preventing fuel from getting to the engine. If the engine runs, or tries to run until the "shot" of starting fluid is consumed, then that suggests everything EXCEPT the fuel delivery system is functioning. The cause could be a clogged/blocked fuel filter[s], a blocked or pinched fuel line, a non-working fuel pump, a carburetor float valve "stuck" in the closed position [highly unlikely], or a blocked fuel passage in the carburetor. There may be some other causes I've overlooked.I suggest you check the entire fuel delivery system.
Check your fuel pump. It is an internal fuel pump in the tank. When you run a vehicle below a quarter of tank that has an electric fuel puel pump you can burn up the fuel pump. Check the fuel line and bleed any air that might be in the system. Check your fuel shut down sylinoid to make sure it is not open and preventing your pump from working. If your fuel pump is working you need to check the fuel pressure to make sure you have enough pressure going to the injectors. If you do not have enough fuel pressure, the injectors will not let the fuel get past and it will not start. If your fuel pressure is good, then you will need to check your injectors and make sure they are not clogged.
If it is a regina fuel system it has just one pump
Um, is your car running? If so, the pump is working. If you pick up a Haynes or Chilton manual for the car, you will find specific tests on all parts of the fuel system. FriPilot
I think there is, because it is preventing mine from starting. I was unaware of it until I did an engine swap and now it won't start. I have been told that the anti-theft system prevents the fuel pump from supplying fuel to the engine as well as preventing spark from reaching the engine.
