Hi This must be an air lock you need to undo the every injector slightly so a little fuel will come out once all are lose turn the engine over with the starter motor as each injector is showing signs of fuel coming out tighten each on up whilst still turning the engine over. Please leave me feed back: Malcolm Campbell, Thanks.

Hi you have a bad starter solenoid

You need to verify that the pump is actually working, and delivering fuel to the engine. Since you replaced the pump, you have access to the pump wiring. Pump power is usually controlled by the ECU and a relay, which is usually somewhere in the dash. When you turn on the IGN, you may hear a relay clicking. A reasonable test is to measure the voltage at the pump. If no +12v, try running a temporary wire to activate the pump, ans see if the engine starts. I suspect that the pump relay has failed, or there's a wiring failure. Not uncommon on a 30 year old car.

you have low fuel consumption

Hi, You will have to crawl under the car with a wrench of kinds and undo 2 bolts. Then disconnect the wires. Good luck.

I see that it is a wagon, but, is it a GL...XE?

Replace your fuel filter then try again - I'm sure your filter is full on contaminants and not allowing fuel through.

Did you think to look in the yellow pages under " auto parts" ? Is this a real question? WTF?

Have a look at the fuel filter and make sure it's not clogged, as you said if you press the gas to the floor ( all the way open throttle ) the engine might start. The reason it starts in cold is you need rich mixture in cold start meaning if the filter is clogged it doesn't matter much because the engine needs rich mixture, but this rich mixture fails on a hot engine, result is you can not fire the engine when hot. Have a look at it and let me know if you need more advice. Best

check fuel pressure, possible bad fuel regulator

check the fluid level in your transfer case

you need to get a puller they are just pressed on by the harmonic balancer there is a key and a tapered fit.

disconnect the battery and check out starter wires you have to make repairs to the wires near the starter .. but do it with the battery disconnected .. thanks Jerry holler if you need more

most cars fuel filter is under car.

if the oil is leaking on the ground it is the slave if no oil on floor then the master is leaking the master leaks oil inside the car pull the carpet back where the pedals are to see if oil is leaking down
