Have you checked for spark first? Sometimes a car won't start due to no spark. This condition is usually caused by: Security system, bad ignition module, crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor. You check it by pulling a plug wire and putting a screwdriver in the wire to see if it arcs. If it is getting fire look for the fuel pressure release valve usually located on the fuel rail, looks like a tire valve stem. If it shoots out gas, and you hear the fuel pump prime, check the fuel pressure regulator. It could also be the timing. There are four things needed for a car to start: fuel, spark, timing, compression. As for your question, as far as I know there is one fuel pump, you have to drop the tank to fix it. Hope this helps.

    I have a '94 Hyundai Excel I have replaced the crankshaft seal, timing, sirpentine & power steering belts, the valve cover gasket, Ignition Coil and distibutor as well as the ignition rotor. All of this was done within the last 4 months. Of course, the spark plugs and wires were changed, but I'm not getting a spark. Now what repair can I do? The alternator and starter are working and the fuel pump is also.

Hi there sound very much like a failed fuel pump, they are electric and is possibly under your back seat, turn ignition on a listen closely for a humming noise, if not there then I would say you need to replaces the pump, check to see if you have power to the pump first, use a test light, hope this helps cheers good luck

1993 grand voyager won't start

anti theft malfunction. seriously put your ear near the filler neck uncapped and have someone turn the key. is there s whining. then that rules out a bad fuel pump> try carefully priming the injectors with fuel and then crank. standby with a garden hose in the even it backfires and pukes out the fuel. remove a plug wire and put any plug in the boot rest it against the valve cover have someone cranlk and looks for spark. 2 main causes for no start lack of fuel, lack of spark

1997 chevy k1500 won,t start cold starting fluid will start truck

I would check the fuel pump relay first. You should have some fuel pressure in the lines when you turn the key on. The relay is powered for 3 seconds to boost pressure until the engine starts.
The relay may not be working or the check valve in the pump may be letting fuel back into the tank which would cause the pressure to drop to zero when the engine is off. You should have at least 15psi with a TBI system and 35psi with MFI.

Cranks over but won't start changed fuel pump but still not starting started once drove it 20 miles and now won't start again

I had a 95 Astro that acted in a similar way. Mine was the fuel pump. I wonder if your ground is loose for the pump circuit or if there is a relay dying on you. Does it act differently with a change from hot to cold weather? A loose ground would do that. You could also have a faulty pump. I heard stories of people getting non-GM approved pumps that failed or had to low a PSI to accurately supply the engine with fuel. Is it getting adequate fuel pressure (50-60 PSI). It should be 60 psi but I was told my 50psi was within GM specs. Mine eventually drank the radiator due to a blown head gasket that no one ever properly diagnosed.

Help me with my 1993 chevy cavalier 2.2L engine. My car won't turn on when ignition switch is in the on position. When I turn it to the on position, my radio cuts on, and my air conditioner turns on,...

what do you mean by "dash lights"? how do you KNOW the pump isnt working? how do you KNOW its good? at the ignition switch the ORANGE and PINK should have power in the RUN position the BROWN and TAN/WHITE should also be HOT in the run position. There should be a red wire near the fuel pump relay, make sure its HOT when cranking. IF its HOT and the fuel pump doenst run, the pump is bad. You can also put 12V on that red wire and power the pump.

Engine shuts down

This is probably a bad fuel pump. Maybe the fuel pump is going bad gradually, wherein it will work now and fail after. Consider replacing your fuel pump.
