Hi everyone,
I have a 91 chevy cavalier z24 6cylinder and she will turn over but will not start.
I was sitting in a parking lot with a friend of mine for about an hour. The car was running fine, an all of a sudden is jst stalled.
No warning. No sputtering or stuggling. RPM jst dropped and engine was out cold. I tried to start it again, but it would jst turn over and not start. It doesn't even stuggle to start and then die. Jst nothing seems to catch.
Fuel Pump is working. I can hear it engage and it is pumping fuel to the engine. Not exactly sure how many PSI, but when I checked the control valve on the Fuel Injector Rail...it shot fuel out pretty hard.
I changed the Fuel Pump Relay before doing anything. Fuel Filter doesn't seem clogged.
I know there is a spark getting to the engine, because when I spray Quickstart directly into the throttle, it sputters before it dies and then continues to try to start with no luck.
When I plug in my diagnosis tool, the check engine light doesn't even come on, which has never happened before. I can't get the code from the car, so I can't look there for help.
I checked most in-dash fuses, and they were all fine. Could it be the ECM that failed?
because there seems to be fuel to the engine, but nothing being shot into the cylinders. I doubt all 6 fuel injectors went at the same time.
Any Ideas? Any questions? I would really appreciate any help possible.
Thanks you
