chack and see if your security light is staying on if so then security is shutting down fire to injectors.
are you gettting spark? pcm needs to see a signal from cam sensor to fire injectors. also when you first cut key on you should see the injectors give an initial shot of fuel

Have you checked the 'inertia switch' which in the event of an accident shuts off the fuel supply to prevent a fire . It's usually located in the cab on pass. side. Some models have one reset button, some 2 which have to be pressed at the same time. If that's not it, here's how the power to the pump SHOULD work, you will have to follow the path to see where it stops. When you turn the key on it turns on the EEC power relay on, this relay then provides power to the PCM (power control module) and the control side of the fuel pump relay. Power for the fuel pump is supplied through a fuse link or high current fuse attached to the starter solenoid (battery side). From the fuse link or high current fuse current flows thru the fuel pump relay and inertia switch to the fuel pump. The fuel pump relay is controlled by the PCM. When the ignition switch is turned on the fuel pump will operate, if the switch is NOT turned to start position, the PCM will shut off the fuel pump off after 1 second. This is to avoid flooding the engine when it is not running, just key on. So check out to see if you have a fuse link or a high current fuse and if they are blown.

SOURCE: Starting problem

i would try replacing your fuel filter, If that doesn't work (which it should) then because its a 2005, there should be a relief valve on the fuel rod, try opening the valve to see if there is fuel gettin that far. then get back to me.

Before you go any further open the trunk and check the fuel pump roll over valve switch, mounted on the left side inside the trunk, push the switch down and try the vehicle.

98 buick regal tries to crank but floods the plugs what is the problem

Yup. Fuel supply problem. Could be a number of things. Check if the injectors are clicking when you crank. no click, no power to the injectors, problem with sensors data to the Ecu. If click, that part is not the problem. More likely Fuel pressure regulator is bad, not enough pressure, or fuel pump relay which controls the fuel pump. So either may be bad or connections are bad or wires cut. Fuel filter may be clogged. To test th fuel pump, you can jump from the battery positive to pump terminal for a short time to verify the pump is good. so then connections at pump, or from the fuel pump relay or it's connections to the ECU. Most disastrous may be the Ecu itself. Other sensors to the Ecu could contribute, but usually with code problems including sensors it goes into a "limp home" mode. overriding bad sensor inputs. If somehow you can get the error codes read at auto parts store, that may give you more clues than I can guess at. Good luck, hope this helps you out. I gave this answer to another query, but most of it applies in the opposite way, you are getting too much fuel (we used to call it flooding)

How do I know why my fuel won't get into injetors?How do I get a diagram for wiring from fuel tank to fuel injetors?

Hello Monica, that is a wide area to cover ,so you can go to auto zone site and log in (its all free) go to (my vehicle)in put info then go to (repair guide) then to sub catagorys there are a few including trouble shooting. check pressure regulater and or vacuum supply to it as well, you should have a test port next to it or near, test it with a pressure gauge to see ,pressure should be 35+ pounds . i really hope this helps you ,if it does please let me know

My 2005 l200 wont start but if you run a lead from battery to switch on pump it starts take lead of and it stops new switch on and still no start.

The fuel pump is powered from a relay. That relay is powered by the engine's computer ("ECU"). The relay is necessary to scale the low current control signal from the ECU into a high current switch to operate the fuel pump. The high current circuit will likely contain a fuse. That fuse or the fuel pump relay may be defective.

The fuel pump relay is activated for a few seconds when the ignition is turned on before starting the engine. If everything is working properly, you should be able to hear the fuel pump run for those few seconds before starting the engine. This is so the injectors have adequate fuel pressure before the engine is started.

Have a 2007 mitsubishi L200 4D56 command rail engine that will not run. The only way I can make this engine run is to unplug the pressure sensor located on the end of the fuel rail. Even then, it will only...

In your case the pressure sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. 1) Stores pressurized fuel (25 to 180 MPa) that has been delivered from the supply pump and distributes the fuel to each cylinder injector. A rail pressure sensor and a pressure limiter valve are adopted in the rail. 2) The rail pressure sensor (Pc sensor) detects fuel pressure in the rail and sends a signal to the engine ECU, and the pressure limiter controls the excess pressure. This ensures optimum combustion and reduces combustion noise. ---- Rail • The rail is mounted between the supply pump and the injector, and stores the high-pressure fuel. --------- Injector:-------- • This injector replaces the conventional injection nozzle, and achieves optimal injection by effecting control in accordance with signals from the engine ECU. Signals from the engine ECU determine the duration and timing in which current is applied the injector. This in turn, determines the quantity, rate and timing of the fuel that is injected from the injector. ------------ Rail Pressure Sensor (Pc Sensor) 1) The pressure sensor detects the fuel pressure of the rail, and sends a signal to the engine ECU. The sensor is made from a semiconductor that uses the Piezo resistive effect to detect changes in electrical resistance based on the pressure applied to the elemental silicon. In comparison to the old model, this sensor is compatible with high pressure. ---------- There is a service manual for how the fuel rail sensor and fuel system works.Its for mitsubishi L200 4D56.----------- Click this link for referring the service manual:--- http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2011/06/service-manual-for-mitsubishi-l200-4d56.html ----------- This should help.thanks.Helpmech.

My fuel pump has got power but doesnt work

Replace fuel filter and fuel sock. Even if fuel pump runs does not mean it is building pressure, needs to build 30 to 50 PSI, if it will not hold pressure for 30 seconds the pump is still bad. The pump supplies the pressure for the injectors and the injectors are operated by electrical impulse when injector opens if the fuel pressure is not high enough it will not push fuel threw the pintal of the injector.

Fuel pours into cylinders

very strange and rare problem. something is keping the injectors open instead of pulsing them. The command to ground the injectors comes from the PCM, Powertrain Control Module. It may be a good idea to pick up a used one from a salvage yard. car-part.com is a good place to look. You will need the info off your module to match up.
Do you have 2.0L SPI engine or 2.0L Zetec engine?
Look on the page with the * to find the lowest price part.
aso, check for shorted wire going to injectors
---------------------------------------------

Mechanical Returnless Fuel System The fuel system consists of a fuel tank with reservoir, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, fuel filter, fuel supply line, fuel rail, fuel rail pulse damper, fuel injectors, and schrader/pressure test point. Operation of the system is as follows (Figure 62):
  1. The fuel delivery system is enabled during crank or running mode once the PCM receives a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor signal.
  1. The fuel pump logic is defined in the fuel system control strategy and is executed by the PCM.
  1. The PCM grounds the fuel pump relay, which provides VPWR to the fuel pump.
  1. The inertia fuel shut-off (IFS) switch is used to de-energize the fuel delivery secondary circuit in the event of collision. The IFS switch is a safety device that should only be reset after a thorough inspection of the vehicle (following a collision).
  1. A pressure test point valve (schrader valve) is located on the fuel rail. This is used to measure fuel injector supply pressure for diagnostic procedures and repairs. ON VEHICLES NOT EQUIPPED WITH A SCHRADER VALVE, USE ROTUNDA FUEL PRESSURE TEST KIT #134—R0087 OR EQUIVALENT.
  1. Located on the fuel rail is a pulse damper. The pulse damper reduces fuel system noise caused by the pulsing of the fuel injectors. The vacuum port located on the damper is connected to manifold vacuum to avoid fuel spillage in the event the pulse damper diaphragm were to rupture (the pulse damper should not be confused with a fuel pressure regulator).
  1. The fuel injector is a solenoid-operated valve that meters the fuel flow to each combustion cylinder. The fuel injector is opened and closed a constant number of times per crankshaft revolution. The amount of fuel is controlled by the length of time the fuel injector is held open. The injector is normally closed and is operated by 12 volt VPWR from the power relay. The ground signal is controlled by the PCM.
  1. There are three filtering or screening devices in the fuel delivery system. The intake sock is a fine, nylon mesh screen mounted on the intake side of the fuel pump. There is a fuel filter screen located at the fuel rail side of the fuel injector. The fuel filter assembly is located between the fuel pump and the pressure test point/schrader valve.
  1. The fuel pump (FP) module contains the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator and the fuel sender assembly. The fuel pressure regulator is attached to the fuel pump in the fuel pump module located in the fuel tank. It regulates fuel pressure supplied to the fuel injectors. The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm-operated relief valve. Fuel pressure is established by a spring preload applied to the diaphragm. Excess fuel is bypassed through the regulator and returned to the fuel tank.

  1. The PCM commands a duty cycle to the fuel pump driver module (FPDM).
  1. The fuel pump driver module modulates the voltage to the fuel pump (FP) to achieve the proper fuel pressure. Voltage for the fuel pump is supplied by the power relay or FPDM power supply relay. (For additional information on FPDM operation, refer to PCM Outputs—Fuel Pump and PCM Inputs—FPM.)
  1. The fuel rail pressure (FRP) sensor provides the PCM with the current fuel rail pressure. The PCM uses this information to vary the duty cycle output to the FPDM to compensate for varying loads.
  1. The engine fuel temperature (EFT) sensor measures current fuel temperatures in the fuel rail. This information is used to vary the fuel pressure and avoid fuel system vaporization.
