You can also hear if the fuel pump motor is working by removing the gas cap and putting your ear by where the gas is pumped in and listening for a buzzing noise while the ignition key is in the run position without the engine cranking. Also there could be a fuse an/or relay for the fuel pump that could cause the fuel pump to not function.

No difference. I have the problem, but if it sits a 1/2 hr after it won't start but cranks, then sometimes it starts. 2004 Toyota Corolla SE. I don't wanna change out fuel pump if it's not that. I did change plugs a year ago, and seen a mouse chewed some of the coating from coil pack wire. Might need new coil pack? But Tks for great Videos! Save slot of money DIY and your parts are A1 !!!!

@twoshedsjackson6478 Жыл бұрын

Before you fire the parts cannon. Lift the car and check the Ground (Earth) strap low down on one side of the engine or the other (you can find out which side on Google). Down there they get exposed to weather and salt, corrode and break, usually where they bolt on. If your ignition system is grounded there and the ground strap is damaged/broken, it will turn over and won't start and you may have other mysterious electrical problems too. Its a VERY common problem often not considered until hundreds has been spent on unnecessary parts.

Your talking about wire attached to the gas hose neck because I just spayed my truck frame with casmoline and that wire has a bolt well that bolt got covered in Cosmo could that be why my truck cranks but Don't start fuel pump not running like in vid lmk any ideas y ?

@twoshedsjackson6478 Жыл бұрын

Assuming your gas filler is at the back of the car I would have thought that earth point is for the rear lights any other electrical systems at the back. There will be several earth points around the car. Find out where they are located and check them all for good contact.

It has stopped working and the passenger side has now stopped, i.e., electric windows, door lock. How do I remove the unit/module? Where would the fuses for these issues be located? Thanks!

Thank you for the troubleshooting suggestions! This afternoon my 1998 Ford Explorer cranked with no start. Checked owners manual for fuel pump fuse location. Fuse tested good (about 3 ohms.) Owners manual showed the fuel pump relay location in the same fuse box. I unplugged the relay and gave it a few taps against the car body in various orientations. Plugged relay back in, and car started up immediately when I cranked it. Probable cause: Relay stuck in open position. Drove car about 6 miles to recharge battery. Ordered new 5 pin relay from O'Reillys.

What if the battery light came on before the car started dying, and then you can no longer start it, but it still cranks, would it still be spark or fuel, could that be a main relay

My car cranks will not start. I was told to look at the fuel pump relay first make sure the fuel pump is turning on when you turn the key because it cranks like no fuel is getting to the motor. Problem literally started today, car has run and started perfectly fine for the last 5 years.

Hello, nice vid. I have a daihatsu sirion 2 with K3-VE engine and it stopped running all of a sudden. It cranks, but no start. I checked all the fuses/relays, they seem good. I checked the crankshaftsensor and it's giving me close to 2000 ohms. So that seems ok. I tested the harness with ignition switched on, no voltage. Any idea what that could be? I still have to check to camshaftsensor though. Regards

My 16’ chevy Cruze had some electrical problems some of the fuses under the hood don’t have power to them.. i tested them. Some light up when contacted and some don’t. I replaced all the mini fuses and still not getting power when checked.. 2 of the turn signals, brake light, horn, power outlets don’t work and engine worn turn on. No crank at all. Also windows won’t roll down from front driver side and passenger, but the rear windows work only on their doors. Won’t work from the master control. But dash lights up and front lights work. Any suggestive leads to take?

Thank you for this. I have this issue in a toyota 1zz 1.8 and is a known common issue in older ones. I am in hot weather and when the car is cool it starts perfectly fine and runs great. However, if it is warm already, like if I stop to refuel, and then leave, it has a very rough start. This is especially true after stopping and starting it multiple times like if I have gone to the grocery store and then fueled up after that. At that point it commonly does NOT start and I have to wait 30mins to an hour for the engine to cool down before getting a good fresh start.

I have a saturn sports sedan that likes to have issues the worst way possible it cranks no start atm the fuel pump wont hum, but it made a "farting noise when i shut the car off, now the car sounds like a lawn mower trying to crank over but dying, it has the engine light flashing when I try to crank it over. I am waiting on my reader to come in as a package I ordered one that is going to be connected to my phone. I wonder if I leave it plugged in and just have it on the car I can fix issues before they start coming as a problem.

Question. So, if I want to boroscope my pistons, extracted sparks and see that the needed piston is in upper position. I would need to rotate engine crancshaft to move pistons. A good idea to use ignition and rotate crancshaft by trying to start the car, but to prevent engine from actually starting (most likely one side will have sparks and another will not). So, would it be a good idea to remove fuel pump relay and rotate the engine by ignition key, or should it be EFR? I have Sienna 2008 with 2GR-FE, if it matters.

I just had a nightmare of a time and I want to share my story with everyone so maybe they won’t make the same mistakes. TLDR: new fuel pump might have been no fuel and faulty fuel pump float. My 05 suburban stalled out while driving and it seemed to correlate with a bump in the road. Stranded I was luck enough to find a shop a few blocks away. Mechanic was nice enough to walk with me and give me a brief check. He brought starter fluid and after testing said bad fuel pump. I bought the cheapest eBay pump and just finished replacing. Mistake #1 I didn’t think of maybe my truck was empty. When I had everything apart I noticed little to no fuel but my gauge said I had just under 1/4 tank. And the only pump had some obvious signs of burn on the float connections. Mistake #2 the pump from eBay was not an exact match and I don’t know enough to say it will last. All is connected and first start was a bust but walked to the gas station filled, put 2 gallons in and it started and ran great but fuel gauge had not moved which I think is a good thing because I think my truck is finally reading correctly.
