SOURCE: Chevrolet 2500 Not Running, May Be Fuel Filter Sensor

That red wire is only for the fuel heater.will not cause a no start.try pumping the primer pump on top of the fuel flter hsg. but first open the bleed screw,which is black plastic also located on the top.this will eliminate any trapped air that might have entered the fuel intake system.if the pump does not get firmer and harder to push, then you have a leak in the fuel supply lines or the ck valves in the fuel filter hsg or stuck open. Still no start have it scanned to ck fuel pressure while cranking.it should be close to 5000 lbs

SOURCE: Temp Sensor

The temp sensor known as the engine coolant temp. sensor tells the computer if the engine is overheating and so forth and tells the injectors how much fuel to give the engine. The temp. sending unit is what controls what your guage reads. It sounds like you need the temp. sending unit. It located near the thermostat housing with a single pole connector.

SOURCE: 1981 Chevrolet Corvette runs "rich"

Have you done an engine vacuum leak test with carby cleaner especially around injector seals.A leak will throw a lean signal to oxy sensor there by telling the computer it needs more fuel.Cant think of anything other than what you have already done.

SOURCE: 1991 chevy camaro 3.1

Mine had a similar problem, there is a wire that goes from the computer to the fuel rail and this wire sends info on how much fuel and when to inject the fuel... if that wire is grounding out then this will cause the lack of cylinders to fire and also explain the inconsistency. So i would start with the fuel rail..hope this is of some help

SOURCE: 1994 Chevy Cavalier runs rough with a bunch of codes

24 is speed sensor. Has no bering on a stationary car.
15 is the coolant sensor circuit. (which you already replaced)
66 is AC refridgerant.
19.... i have no idea.
From what you have described, i would almost have to say it's the idle control sensor, or intake manifold vacuum leaks. Make sur everything is tight, and wiggle all the hoses around to make sure none are cracked or loose. Use a length of fuel hose held to your ear, or a stethoscope if you have one, and listen and wiggle hoses with the engine running. If there are no leaks, go for the idle control sensor. If that doesn't do it, it'll be the mass air flow sensor. But usually when they act up, the car will start and die, start and die. Good luck.

1995 Mercury Villager has rough idle

OK, OLD CAR when did you last see it run perfectly?>
never, or last decade or??????????????????????????
THAT IS CALLED MISFIRE. (ROUGH)
HAS 3 CAUSES, (IN MACRO SIMPLE TERMS)
engine , spark and fuel, 1,2,3, basics. otto cycle engines.
gas
NO ENGINE TOLD BUT A PURE ENGINE QUESTION.
3.0LV6 , NISSAN?
IF ENGINE is good, (marco 1st choice) all tests pass,vacuum and compression good 150psi up. x6
then it is spark next,
bad spark can not burn good fuel. ever. !! dead or weak or misfring spark ,and waste lots of fuel. <called a tuneup.

so new spark parts are now, not fuel now in step2.
6 new spark plugs gapped to Mercury spec. do not use spark makers factory tooling settings of 0.045" gap them to spec. Mercury.
new spark wire sets, 28 year old HV wires are not good.
do the wires 1 by1 old to new, do NOT mix wire ORDER ever.
then a new CAP and rotor for the distributor..
ok sparks good (hope)
now comes FUEL. dead last ,
bad fuel
EFI over or under injecting fuel due to bad sensors?
ECT dead.
map dead or maf dead./ has both, map if for idle.
fuel pressure at the real is out of spec,
FPR , bad on fuel rail, most are this old (new now)
fuel filter clogged but is now new.
fuel pump weak or wires to it bad, rusty connectors common.

there are other causes, I have list of 50+
like broken valve springs in the head. and more.
I just use my tools to do all the tests and not guess.
if you must guess, why not try new spark parts first
do the full tune up
spark
belts
thermostat
and filters.
finish off the service points at 60k and repeats in the users guide , free. guide , now lost?

Where is the fuel cutoff switch on a 2000 isuzu trooper

which engine, ill toss coin, land on v6
check fuses first.
wont crank? that grrrrr grrrrr grrrrr sound
jumper cable start it yet, why not?
or put in a known good charged car battery?
or using any battery charger charge yours?
or buy a new battery, (if rich)

if it cranks and wont start?
check spark x6 (scan it yet?)
if sparks ok try test fuel!
if test fuel fails 100% see bad belt below.

EVER REPLACE THE CAM BELT?
if not and over 60k on the last one
the belt is doomed, living on borrowed time.
got the V6?

My car starts fine when engine is warm. I turn it off then try starting it again. then starts up and shuts back off. does it like 3 times in a row. then I wait a few minutes then it starts up when I push...

stalls, are complex
if the engine is good (compression at spec)
it this list.
1: lost electric power to EFI system or spark.
2: bad fuel.
3: bad spark.
4: bad fueling. (too much or too little.
5: EGR stuck open
6: ISC dead. or IAC dead. (idle air valves failing cold)

there are tests for each.
cold start failure only ! all else good, engine tuneup done?
1: ECT fibbing like oh'bummer. (signals water temps of alaska in Panama? "floods, and your right foot helps./..........
2: IAC (cold start fast idle air valve bad) same for right foot....
3: check engine light on running? is it?

ECT can cause gross over fueling.
the IAC dead will cause gross under AIR which in fact causes flooding (less air plus same fuel = flood)
bad fuel.

2002 malibu will not start when cold. After it starts by priming it then starts fine.

ever tune it up, try new spark plugs. gapped to spec.
starts fine and runs fine, not said the latter....????

Cold starts are the hardest, takes
these things to start good. cold.
1: go winter fuel (if cold out, isit? then winter fuel works best)
2: a good engine and good spark plugs, (hot spark)
3: good cold start fueling,
to get #3 the modern car 89- now. needs a working and accurate
ECT sensor, this tells the ECU exactly how much fuel to use.
if the ECT reads warming than REALITY, the fueling will be weak
and may not start or stall fast.

no location stated, nor if car is a daily driver, that is fresh fuel
every week,,,,

Motor runs and starts fine when cold then after a couple of miles it drops one or two cylinders

drops, (you saw spark gone?)
gaps? what gap, spark plugs? no new cap? with real brands, not clone junk?
Finish the tuneup, then set the spark gap to spec and do not use $20 expensive, surface fire spark plugs, use regular NGK J sparks.
this car is NOT HEI ! it is not.
if spark, is now perfect, and the spark tips dont turn black running. do they? then it may be running lean.
hot running needs this:
good engine compression,
not stuck open EGR main valve. (clean it)
good spark timed to spec. using quality parts not clone junk.
then suspect fueling last, if above is good ,its a fueling issues, (the cat is ok, if melted it would clog engine hot or cold) forget CAT.
the coolant needs to hold at 180f or more (195f is nice) and not drop.
the 02 sensors must work and no exhaust leaks near it. allowed.
ECT shows 180F. (about 300 ohms hot< DMM meter check.s)
fuel pressure at spec. near 30?

1989 K1500 was running fine and just quit. Not getting gas but I can hear the fuel pump start when I turn the key on. took fuel line off of TBI and seem to have plenty of gas flow but nothing comes out of...

you need to have the fuel pressure checked with a gage and volume as if its not at the spec the injectors won`t open to spray enough fuel.also you should check the injectors for proper voltages and ground as if these are not within specs then the injectors won`t work either

I swapped a 93 tbi 350 from a truck into my 81 malibu the injector only drips. theres plenty of pressure before the tb maybe the injector screen is pluged??? I used the ecm from the truck with its factory...

The injector should be spraying. It is possible that it is clogged. You can dissassemble and reassemble and clean screan with any carb cleaner. If the regulator is bad fuel will go back to the tank instead of going to the injector. It is possible that the pump in the malibu can send fuel but not hold pressure under load. I would check the fuel pressure on a gage and see if in spec. If okay than suspect clogged screan

I started the truck and it warms up but after it warms up it idles really rough and i put a fuel filter and spark plugs and wires and changed the air filter and it didn't change any thing.

Unplug the ECT (engine coolant temp.) sensor and check the condition of the 2 prong plug on the sensor. If it looks corroded, replace it. What's maybe happening is the ECT is telling the computer that engine is still cold and is running like the choke is still on after it's warmed up and at operating temp. The ECT is located near the thermostat housing on the intake.
