Older cars need to be run alternators sieze up fuel pump gets gummed up .the gas is probably bad so this will make it have no pressure

SOURCE: quit and won't start

Does it make any sound when you try to start it? Quite often helpful to know. I've helped start a number of vehicles by tapping on the solenoid--sometimes the teeth get off by a bit and a tap gets them back--usually a specific noise if that's the prob... The two main things that keep a car from starting--battery and fuel. Hopefully when you installed the battery, you cleaned the connections real well--sometimes they look fine, but can't get a connection. #2, check the fuel filter, simple thing to overlook, again it can seem like it's fine, but it's clogged, may or not affect the pressure.

Beyond this--try these, much more detail than I'd want to type here.

If you have spark, and fuel , and still no start, I'd first pull out the spark plugs and make sure they are not fuel fouled. Dry or replace as necessary. Do you have compression ?

98 sunfire with starting problem, only has 89000 kms, changed battery, had starter checked, only seems to have a problem when car has sat for more than 3 hrs

This could indicate a weak fuel pump or clogged pump strainer. I would start by replacing the fuel filter since this should be done every two years. The fuel pressure bleeds off after some time so the pump has to try to build the pressure back up on a cold start. This is the cheapest and easiest fix to try first.

Fuel injector fuse is blown, keeps blowing. Engine turns but won't catch and start.

if the injector fuse is blown then the car won`t start as its not getting fuel into the motor to fire.if the fuse keeps blowing then you could have an injector/s that is drawing too much or the injector driver in the ecm may not be any good and needs replacing or a used ecm.it could be a short some where in the wiring for the injector system that is going to ground.

GMC 2000 sierra pick up 1500 sounds like it wants to start but won't turn over. Battery sounds good so I guess battery and alternator are ok. For several years fuel gauge doesn't work and...

It sure could be. But, first...by "won't turn over" you do mean it cranks at normal speed but won't start?
A simple test of the fuel pump is to stand by tank and listen as someone turns key to on. When first turned to on, your pump will activate for 2 or 3 seconds, pressurizing the fuel system, and then shut off if the engine computer doesn't get a cranking signal. Do you hear it come on? If not, then something's not turning your pump on. If you can hear it buzz on briefly, then maybe it's your filter. Another test: Spray a little starting fluid into your intake manifold (remove the big hose going into intake manifold) while someone tries starting it.If it doesn't fire and try to stay running, then it's probably an ignition problem. But if it does fire off, then you know it's a fuel problem-likely your pump or filter. good luck.

could be a clogged catalytic converter if you can only go so fast and it seems to be getting worse. Try driving with the 02 sensors out. It should go faster if clogged
