Cranking HARD ?
No Cranking ?
Smell Gas ?
Cranks Fast ?
POSSIBLE - * Battery dead or weak (alternator may not be charging right or gone bad) . * No fire coil pack(s) / rotor button distributor cap Faulty . * Cranks fast ( getting fire but no gas )
FIXES - * JUMP START IF POSSIBLE and if car starts take off 1 battery cable if car dies the ALTERNATOR IS BAD . * Pull 1 plug wire off and check for a hot spark or any spark for that matter .
Could be multiple things with multiple fixs need more info for a more precise answer. Start with the basics POWER +/- , FUEL , AIR , FIRE
Hope this Helps , Flaming Ratchets Auto Repair

Wow! thats verry low miles for an 88. Check the fuel pressure at the injector. If the pressure is low the filter could be clogged or the pump is not putting out enough pressure. Replace both if the pressure is not up to par. also check the fuel relays.

It sounds like you need a new fuel filter. if that is to dirty, it wont allow the correct amount of full to be pushed to the engine. try changing that or using a Fuel treatment in the meantime. Hope this helps :)

SOURCE: Engine wont stay running. Please help.

change the filter first. IF the pumpwas bad it wouldnt start at all. It could be going bad but the only way to really test it is to pull your gas tank and at that rate you may as well replace it.

you could have a clogged injector causing the lack of fuel as well. you can try injector cleaner, Lucas is my personal preference I use it at every fill-up. 4-6oz per tank of gas depending on your tank size.

Hi. This issue has several causes, but the oil light indicator is a strong sign of low pressure in the engine. This will cause the engine lubrication rate to drop, thus, producing a illuminated oil light, and erratic Oil pressure readings. The necessary actions are to have a manual oil pressure test ran on this engine, asap. When running a manual oil pressure test, you will discover if the true oil pressure is low, or normal. If the test proves that the oil pressure is, indeed, low, this will confirm that the Oil pump is suspect.

Now, if the true readings given during the manual oil pressure test are indicating that the pressure is normal, this will be the result of a failed sending unit(oil pressure switch). Although the oil pressure is suspect, this is not your only issue here. There seems to be a abnormal compression rate, present. This is causing the rough idle, and erratic RPMs. I recommend to administer a engine block compression test, as well. This test will discover if , indeed, there are issues within the cylinder heads, and block structure, such as a worn head gasket, cylinder wall issues, and cracked block. Normally, these issue will send signs, like white, or gray smoke out the tail pipe, or discolored oil. It will, also, promote erratic RPM ratings, and a rough idle. Have the oil pressure test, and engine block compression test ran, asap.

Once the test are administered, you will be able to isolate the actual problem areas, more accurately. Check the spark plug wire sets, and ignition assembly for faults, also.

Testimonial: "Great Feedback, Best yet!! I have other questions tho but it wont let me reply back to you. What kind of discolored oil? "

Its more than likely the fuel pump . Giving the year and the symptoms . You may have not ran out of gas in the first place it may have actually been the fuel pump . You are probably just getting enough gas in it to start and then cut out right away.

I ran out of gas but after i put some in it wouldnt turn over so i pumped the gas in attempt to get it to start, but it would not completly turn over (all power works) then it stop trying to turn ove

that advice is true a jump start should give you enough power to start vehicle ,but the real problem might be in the fact that you ran out of fuel and have maybe tripped out a sensor , by all means try the jump start ,make sure the vehicle you use you keep that engine running with a little revving to give a boost to your vehicle, if it still wont start have the OBD codes read and cleared as the gas supply was cut may have a sensor code that will prevent starting

Are you able to determine where the fuel smell is coming from ? This is usually an indicator of a fuel leak. Why did you have to change the catalytic converter ? Is this the smell you are talking about ? Exhaust fumes are different smell from fuel leaks.

I ran out of gas in my 1997 cadillac deville d'elegance. i put gas in it but now it will not turn over. why will it not turn over and what can i do?

When the car ran out of gas, how much did you put in to try to get it to start. Is the car currently sitting on an incline? Has the battery been charged with enough power to provide continuous power to the ignition. The reason I ask these questions is to provoke some thought from you. If the car is on an incline, you may have not put enough gas in for it to circulate to the engine. Let me know if you can provide more information. I think we can fix this easily...

In case of a problem or clarification or my solution was insufficient, don't hesitate to post me a reply.

If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.

Couple of days ago car started choking like I was running out of gas my gas guage could be broken but can someone tell me where the carburator ? is so that I can put gas in it.

Your 95 Blazer does not have a carburetor (correct spelling too) It is fuel injected so injectors are used for each cylinder instead of a carburetor. If you run out of fuel and your vehicle is facing uphill when that happens you should have some fuel in the tank left. When leveling at a level position the vehicle will start again. You see the fuel pump is in the fuel tank and fuel is needed at all times to prime when starting. If on a grade the fuel goes to one end if only a gallon or two is left and the pump will **** air only causing a stalling problem I added all this in just so you remember this incase it ever happens to you

2002 YUKON DANALI XL I THINK I RAN OUT OF GAS

try to put 2 gal of gas.
if you run out of gas, the system require little more than a gal of gas to get from the pump in the tank through the filter to the injector. Approximately 1gal just to pressured the fuel rail.

Check engine light ?

sometimes when the gas cap gets left off, it sets a code and turns on the check engine light. if the problem returns, it very well could be the egr valve....they tend to have a build up of carbon in the valve and can stick open.this problem can cause a rough idle, hesitation and stalling. you can remove the valve and use a screwdriver , with a torx bit i think, and turn the inside of the valve to break up the carbon deposits...should fix it, but with no code its hard to tell exactly what the problem is.
