Pull rubber hose off the side of plastic throttle body cover..spray starting fluid in where hose was connected, have someone turn key while you spray, if you don't have someone, spray for abt 5 seconds then try and crank. If cranks and runs briefly, its a fuel problem, fuel pump fuse, bad fuel pump, clogged fuel filter .
Fuel pump is bad or related parts. Pressure is variable. It can b testd. But if its nevr bin changd..may b du. Startr fluid is for weak spark or compression
Buy starting fluid. Spray some directly into intake, you have to remove the inlet boot to access the inlet side of your throttle body. Open the butterfly valve manually and spritz the starting fluid in. get back in the drivers seat then attempt to start. If it starts, then yes, you have a fuel issue. Pump is new, but what about intake screen and in-line filter? Your injectors could be keeping fuel from getting to the cylinders as well. If your car does not start on starting fluid, then you need to check for spark (existence of spark and timing of spark)
There is a lot of types of starting fluid. Some is kind of safe....kind of!! Most will destroy your engine!! If you are using starting fluid on a Saturn, you really need to stop. Your fuel pressure could be incorrect. The fuel pump relay could be bad, or a fuse. Your fuel pump may be going out. Listen to your fuel pump when you turn the key to the "run" position before turning the starter over. You shoulh hear a 2 second buzz from the fuel pump. If you don't hear this , you have a fuel pump issue.
Signs of a Bad Fuel Pressure Regulator the vehicle will not start, if a bad regulator. Usually, this is a problem that is encountered in the morning when you start your vehicle. Many a times, the engine starts, but stalls shortly after starting. check the fuse and relay for pump. also remove line to fuel pressure regulator and if fuel in line, replace fuel pressure regulator. check for spark and also the timing belt. its one sign of not starting. if car runs fine on spray, I would not say its the timing belt or chain.
remove air filter and while turning it over try to spray alittle I mean alittle starting fluid in the intake if it starts then it is the fuel filter which is cheap or the fuel pump check all fuses before buying a new fuel pump.
Could be fuel related or spark related.
Best guess:
Fuel filter is clogged, no gas reaching engine. - Spray "starting fluid" (AutoZone $3) into air intake and try to start it. If it kind of starts, spray more and try again. If it starts (sort of) then it is fuel related (fuel pump, maybe).
Other wise it is ignition.
Read what other experts advise. I will post comments after you do.
i have a 99 5.7 chevy suburban and have to use starting fluid for it to turn on , ive replaced the fuel reg. and fuel pump is 4years old fuel filter 6months old new cam and crank sensor new distrbutor rotor and cap
Fuel pump, you have to have press in the rail to fire all injectors- she will run on ether but not good for her. Ck your pump and any related fuses,relays,wiring.
