    If it wasn't getting fuel or fire it would not run at all so that is not the problem.

Possible causes - - low fuel pressure - dirty fuel filter - missfire on one or more cylinders.
You need to figure out if it is a fuel problem or an ignition problem.
Check engine light on ?

My daughters V6, VZ Commodore turns over but won't fire. In the past I've managed to get it going after pumping the accelerator and turning it over. This took over 5 minutes. This time it is not fi

I am not familiar with this model but you don't mention how old this car is. Pumping the accelerator works on last century cars with carbureters because they have an acceleration jet in the carbureters which squirts petrol into the engine to create the rich mixture needed for starting. I suspect that your car is probably newer than this and the engine management system doesn't know that the engine is cold. Check engine temperature sensors for correct operation and replace any that are not working correctly.

What causes car to stall when u give gas real fast but runs fine when u idle it up slow and hold it at 2000rpms and then takes awhile to start sometimes??

when you accelerate real fast you are getting the CPU to allow large amounts of fuel into the chambers to be burnt. Un fortunately if everything else is not prepared for this surge of fuel it puts the fire out as combustion requires a ratio of 14.1 to combust properly. When you accelerate slowly the faulty sensors struggle to keep the ratio right. So run the fault codes and check which sensors are failing .

Rough running on acceleration all the time back fires and misses choking

Have the car scanned for diagnostic trouble codes " DTL's ". That should give you a starting point

Could be fuel or ignition.
If the coil or ignition is weak, you may not have enough power to fire the plugs under load.
And if the fuel pressure is low, you may not have enough fuel under load.

My motor start, but he dont run. I dont no if it's fire or pump fuel. I would like more information. It's possible just one GROUND!

If your motor starts easily but will not run when you press the accelerator, it is most likely a fuel fault. Check the fuel filter for blockages and replace if necessary. Otherwise check your fuel pump - it may be getting very worn.

Hey there.... i have a 95 pathfinder. if i can get it started it runs extremeley rough and dies upon acceleration. give me a hint if you can... thanks.. john

Sounds like a fuel problem...something is restricting your fuel flow....clogged fuel filter (1st check and cheapest) or a bad fuel pump......second, I would ensure you are getting proper fire.....wires, districutor parts and coil. Good luck
