so they wont steal it.
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.
Check for antitheft system preventing fuel pump operation (look for bad lock cylinder) or insufficient fuel pulse as from improper ECT voltage.
Yes, it is more commonly used on diesel powered vehicles.
If your 1999 Town and Country won't crank and the starter isn't turning, it could be due to a few factors. The alarm system may be preventing the engine from starting, as it can disable the ignition or fuel system. Check if the alarm is properly disarmed; if necessary, refer to the owner's manual for instructions. Additionally, inspect the battery connections and fuses, as poor connections or a blown fuse could also be the culprit.
To shut off the alarm in a 2000 Dodge Durango, you typically need to unlock the vehicle using the key or remote, or insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position. The alarm may cause the vehicle to die because it interrupts the ignition system or fuel supply as a theft deterrent, preventing the engine from starting until the alarm is disarmed. If the alarm continues to malfunction, it may drain the battery, leading to further starting issues.
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.
A fuel injection fuse is an electrical component in a vehicle's fuel injection system that protects the fuel pump and related circuits from overloads or short circuits. If the fuel injection system experiences a fault, the fuse will blow, interrupting the electrical flow and preventing damage to the system. It is typically located in the vehicle's fuse box and may need to be checked or replaced if the engine does not start or if there are issues with fuel delivery.
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.
If it is a regina fuel system it has just one pump
