Bogging While driving my car it would bog. Well I went to start it and the fuel pump wasn't coming on, so I replaced the fuel pump and it won't start still. But when I spray starter fluid into the intake it will start but won't stay start. What could be some problems I want to check the fuse and relay but not sure if it could of blew am I going in the wrong direction.

Make sure the fuel pump is kicking on it won't hurt to check the relay but I have never seen one bad yet it could be the plug on the plug on the end of the wires that plugs on the pump this run hot and it burns the ends alot several fuel pumps are replaced because of this make sure you have power at the pump if you can't hear it run it will only stay powered for a few seconds and then kick off. so you might need someone to turn it on while someone checks the power.

SOURCE: i have a 1992 suburban 350 motor. truck had no

first thing i would do i would check fuel pressure if you have good fuel pressure then the next thing i would unbolt the exhaust from the exhaust manafold and then try to start engine if the engine starts up and runs fine then you have clogged up exhaust converters

SOURCE: where do I spray the starter fluid (air intake?)

Follow the large (4") black rubber hose that runs from the air filter box to the engine. You can remove it at the engine end (attaches to the throttle body...you do not have a carburetor) I'd spray carb cleaner in there...it burns as well as gasoline and won't damage anything...starting fluid is very volatile and can. Normally, after running out of fuel, all that you'd need to do is leave the key in the run position for about a minute and you should get fuel up into the system. If it fails to start after several tries, likely something else has gone wrong and you will need some diagnosis to find our exactly what.

1999 MERCURY VILLAGER BOGS WHEN GOING UP HILL WHEN ONLY 1/8TH TANK OF GAS FILLE IT UP AND THEN STILL BOGGED FOR ABOUT A MILE THEN QUIT BOGGING WHAT CAUSED THIS

when a tank is empty there is no fuel for the pump and the system runs low on fuel pressure Going up hill the fuel runs away from the pick up line and the pump sucks air
After filling it takes a while to empty the air out of the system to allow full pressure again. It is an extremely costly practice to run so low on fuel as it may lead to a pump replacement

Started bogging when pressed on gas then died and wont start

limited info - but sounds like it could be the fuel pump. Bogging when you driving along id a classic sighn of a failing fuel pump. Tha fact that its dead would also point to it being dead.

The easiest way to see if its dead is to go back to the car - and click the ingnition over - dont start the car - just flick it on so that it powers up. You should hear the fuel pump kick in the get up to pressure ( takes about 2 sec) If you dont here anything under the car - mistery solved. Then its just a case of checking fueses atc.

Exactly the same symptoms also come with a clogged fuel filter. check and replace this as well but only if you hear the fuel pump kicking in.
