It's not getting enough fuel have u checked your fuel pumps have the right pressure
Does the engine continue to run on it's own after you gave it a squirt of starting fluid? If so, try replacing the ECT (engine coolant temperature) sensor. If the engine runs only on starting fluid but not on it's own I would suspect the fuel pump is bad.
front passanger side of engine. It runs off the camshaft
Small spray of starting fluid in the air cleaner. Might take a few times.NOT RECOMENDED BUT WILL GET U OUT OF A BIND!
You will have to go back to square one. Check for power at the pump itself. Easy on the starting fluid, you can pop a hole in the piston.
There are countless different causes of an engine not starting, but in general, if the engine is receiving fuel, has ignition and compression, it will start. Begin with the basics. Next time it won't start, try a little starting fluid. If the engine runs briefly with starting fluid, you have a fuel delivery problem. Then go on from there. The only way to find a problem like that is to break it down. Check your Cam Sensors sometime they have a loose connection, your engine has 2 sensors a primary and secondary if the primary is the problem your engine wont start if its the secondary i will start but will run rough
sure it will. no fuel= no start get a can of starter fluid, spray some into air cleaner try to start engine if engine starts on that , you know you are not getting proper fuel if it starts on starter fluid it will only run a very short time until fluid runs out Only if the fuel pump isn't working.
A partially blocked catalytic converter might cause the engine to run poor, but it wouldn't keep it from starting. Always go back to the basics. Fuel, ignition and compression. Starting fluid is a good tool to have around when an engine won't start. If the engine runs when starting fluid is being sprayed into the air intake then dies when you stop spraying, you have a fuel delivery problem. If the engine WON'T start when you are spraying starting fluid, it's probably ignition or something internal.
You can add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube on an automatic. If it's a standard, there will be a plug on the side of the transmission. Fill it using a suction gun or pump. Fill it until it runs out.
my 1995 f250 with 5.8 gas engine has 300,100 runs perfect and uses no oil and have always used full synthetic.
Its overfilled and the pressure of the overfill is actually causing the fluid to come out of the fill tube when cold starting. Suck some out from the fill tube. Very sensitive to fluid volume.
The transmission fluid on a 96 Pontiac Grand Am SE is put into the filler tube on the left side of the engine. It runs directly into the top of the transmission and also contains a dipstick to check fluid levels.
Try a little starting fluid. If the engine briefly starts with starting fluid, you have a fuel delivery problem. Check the fuel filter since it's easiest and least expensive. If that wasn't the problem check the fuel pump. If it didn't start with starting fluid, check the spark. Pull a plug wire, connect a spare plug and set it on a metal part of the engine. Have an assistant try to start the engine while you watch the plug. If you don't get a nice hot spark you need to repair something in the ignition system.
