Possibly clogged fuel filter
Most likely it's the fuel pump, but check the fuel filter first, it may be plugged up.
Have you tried spraying gas intothe breather. Does it have tbi or multi-port? How about the fuel regulator. How much pressure does the fuel rail have ?
The fuel is stopping before getting to the cylinders. Check the fuel in injectors and their drive signal for problems.
I had the same problem with my 99 Chevy caviler and its all because of a wiring problem that could catch on fire, mine did, get it checked out
Fuel pressure should be around 40. If the injectors are not getting power it will not start. Start with a crank sensor first.
I had a 1987 Chevy Celebrity that would start and then immediately die. It turned out to be bad fuel injectors. I replaced three fuel injectors and the problem has not returned.
My 1987 Chevy Celebrity with 2.8 V6 was doing the same thing. I cured the problem by replacing three dead fuel injectors.
check the fuel injectors
make sure you have fuel coming to your injectors, could be your fuel pump.
bad fuel pump, dirty injectors, vacuum leak
Buy a Chiltons manual and start to work. It is not simple but it not really difficult. More time consuming. www.trailvoy.com
I am not a mechanic but it sounds like it is with your fuel injectors. They are either real dirty, clogged, not working at all or your ECU is not sending the injectors a signal to open. Good luck
Why my Chevy Captiva won't start? I changed fuel pump, spark plugs and cleaned the fuel injectors, tested the ignition coils all is good but still will not start. please help thanks.
the fuel is pumped from the gas tank into the "fuel rail" and the gas stays there until you start turning over the engine to start it. the fuel injectors take the fuel from the "fuel rail" and spray it into the cylinder which then gets ignited by the spark from the spark plug. so if the injector is leaking or not functioning the fuel will just flood into the engine if leaking, or not go into the engine at at all if its not working. the reason they went from carburetors to fuel injection is so less gas is wasted because the injectors only spray a precise amount of fuel.
u cant
fuel problem. make sure you have gas of course, check out your fuel pump, injectors, fuel lines etc.
it could be the horn relay fuse located in the engine department with the other fuses.
