Intermittent not starting issue

Hi,

When it doesn't start, did you confirm there is no fuel pressure? Also, is the check engine light staying on when the engine is running. Can you hear the pump turn on when it doesn't start and have you checked for ignition spark to the plugs when it doesn't start?

Try this: When it doesn't start, see if it does for a couple of seconds and then stall. If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue. Or, here is are two links that explain how to check fuel pressure and for ignition spark. You can do that if you feel comfortable doing it.

Let me know.

Thank you Joe. sorry it took so long for a response. I ended up having to change the fuel pump again the one I put on was faulty. But it had a warranty. thank you so much for your response.

Hi,

First, you are very welcome. I'm glad you got it running properly again. Always remember, if it doesn't start, first confirm there is proper fuel pressure and you have ignition spark to the plugs. In almost all cases, one or the other will be the issue. At that point, you can focus on that component.

Regardless, please feel free to come back anytime in the future. You are always welcome here. Also, thanks for letting me know. Chances are your post will help others.

Take good care of yourself,

Joe
