Check for spark. Maybe a crankshaft position sensor is bad or a module.

Secondary Spark Test This spark tester looks just like a spark plug, attach the clip to ground and crank the engine to check for spark changed fuel pump. getting fuel to engine. but - 91052p10.jpg
This spark tester has an adjustable air-gap for measuring spark strength and testing different voltage ignition systemchanged fuel pump. getting fuel to engine. but - 91052p11.jpg="/uploads/images/91052p11.jpg" alt="91052p11.jpg" class="h_mi" />
Attach the clipchanged fuel pump. getting fuel to engine. but - 91052p12.jpgnd crank the engine to check for spark 91052p12.jpg
This spark tester is the easiest to use just place it changed fuel pump. getting fuel to engine. but - 91052p10.jpgre and the spark voltage is detected and the bulb on the top will flash with each pulse 91052p10.jpg
The best way to perform this procedure is to use a spark tester (available at most automotive parts stores). Three types of spark testers are commonly available. The Neon Bulb type is connected to the spark plug wire and flashes with each ignition pulse. The Air Gap type must be adjusted to the individual spark plug gap specified for the engine. The last type of spark plug tester looks like a spark plug with a grounding clip on the side, but there is no side electrode for the spark to jump to. The last two types of testers allows the user to not only detect the presence of spark, but also the intensity (orange/yellow is weak, blue is strong).

  1. Disconnect a spark plug wire at the spark plug end.
  2. Connect the plug wire to the spark tester and ground the tester to an appropriate location on the engine.
  3. Crank the engine and check for spark at the tester.
  4. If spark exists at the tester, the ignition system is functioning properly.
  5. If spark does not exist at the spark plug wire, perform diagnosis of the ignition system using individual component diagnosis procedures.

Ignition Coil Testing
  1. Remove suspect coil.
  2. Disable fuel pump by disconnecting inertia switch electrical connector.
  3. Reconnect the ignition coil electrical connector to the coil.
  4. Install spark tester 303-D307 (D81P-6666-A) or the equivalent.
  5. Crank engine while observing the tester.
  6. If a blue-white spark is not observed replace coil.

      Crankshaft and Camshaft Position Sensors


      Camshaft Position Sensor

      The Engine Management System (EMS) uses the camshaft position sensor to manage sequential fuel injection and as part of misfire diagnosis. The EMS constantly monitors the number of pulses on the signal circuit. The EMS compares the number of camshaft sensor reference pulses and the number of crankshaft position sensor reference pulses received. If the EMS receives an incorrect number of pulses, Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's) should be stored in the EMS. Some engine management systems will then default to multi-port or "gang-fire" injector operation. The camshaft position sensor signal is required to sequence the injector operation to the proper cylinder timing. If the camshaft position sensor or circuit is faulty, most engines will start. However, the EMS misfire diagnostic will likely be affected.

      The following symptoms can be caused by an intermittent wiring connections or faulty signal to the EMS.

      Related Symptoms


          Extended crank time with a cold engine
            Intermittent rough running
              Unstable idle
                Bucking
                  Hesitation
                    Stumble
                      Chuggle
                        Poor fuel economy
                          Stalling on acceleration

      Crankshaft Position Sensor

      Engine speed is a very important input to the Engine Management System (EMS). Crankshaft speed and position are the basis for many calculations made by the computer. Crankshaft position values are transmitted to the computer by pickup coils also known as Permanent Magnet (P/M) generators, hall effect sensors or optical sensors. The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) also known as engine speed sensor is typically located in proximity to the crankshaft.

      In addition, the EMS uses the CKP sensor in conjunction with the camshaft position sensor to calculate and perform misfire diagnostics.

      Related Symptoms


          A No Start / Intermittent Start condition - Can be caused by a faulty crankshaft position sensor due to loose connections, bad grounds, high resistance in the circuit, or opens in the circuit. (See also Engine Mechanical)

    SOURCE: 93 volvo 850 glt changed the fuel pump now car

    Check your fuel pressure to ensure proper pressure to the block, also did you replace the fuel filter.

    On a side note: 3 things a automobile needs to run

    AIR-make sure you have a clean air filter and your MAF (mass air flow sensor is plugged in) if you pulled your breather to innspect anything, there is a possibility that it came unplugged or you unpluged it and forgot to hook it back up, a car wont start without it being plugged in if equiped

    SPARK-Make sure your car has juice to the plugs, if the plug doesnt fire the car wont run, if you have to pull each plug and ground them to the engine block to see if they arch. If not trace the problem down (if you changed the fuel pump you have some mechanical skill and should be able to troubleshoot a spark issue)

    FUEL-Check for proper pressure, dirty fuel filter(s) and if your system has a return line, make sure your hoses didnt get crossed cause this will damage the engine and regulator.

    Hope this helps Thanks for using Fixya.com

    SOURCE: 1997 Chevy Suburban Changed fuel

    There is a fuse that deals with the fuel pump circuit through the ECM. If you haven't checked it's in the fuse panel under the hood in the engine compartment on the drivers side by the brake master cylinder. I hope that you have a cover for it with the names of the fuses. The fuse you want to check will be the fuse marked "ECM B". I gave you a picture of the fuse layout but it's not a good one but I did put an arrow to the one I think it is. I pretty sure that's the one but not 100 percent because it's pretty blurry. In any case there is a fuse marked "ECM B". I would check there if you haven't already. Other than that You may have to check your wiring. There is a fuseable link at the starter you may want to check if that fuse isn't blown. I hope this helps and good luck.

    Please stop replacing parts it costs money!
    Go get a timing light to see if you have spark if you do not it is a bad ignition module.
    to check your fuel pump connect a fuel pressure guage to the engine fuel injector rail and turn over the engine the pressure should be: 40 to 60 psi.

    My car won't start I have changed the coil fuel pump fuel pump relay and the Mfi relay I now think its the crank shaft relay but I do not know help me !

    Sounds like maybe the main computer is bad. When you cranked the engine there is not any indication that it is firing. If you have changed the fuel pump and coil and it still wont even fire, the computer is most likely the cause. Even if the timming was off you would still get some indication that it was trying to start although it probably would not if the timming was off, but the fact it's not even trying to fire yeah that's my take.

    My frontier cut off and wont start change fuel pump and still wont start my sevice engine light dosent come on

    When you changed the fuel pump, was it not getting any fuel pressure before that ?
    Is it getting fuel pressure now ? And is it getting spark to the plugs ?
    If the check engine light does not come on when you turn the key on I would check that fuse first.

    Testing is the way to a fix . Fuel pump pressure testing , electrical testing . Viewing engine sensor data on a scan tool . Instead of guessing as to the problem learn to test or take it to a qualified repair shop . Changing ECU without doing it correctly can cause problems that were not there before . PCM - engine computers need to be programmed , dealer only.

    Why would i get gasoline in engine oil? engine is a 1968 VW aircooled in stock form. Have changed fuel pump and rebuilt carb. Car willo not start without starting fluid.

    I think that the only way that can happen is that fuel is getting past the rings and into the crankcase. You have changed the fuel pump, then that leaves the carb dumping fuel into the intake and getting past the rings. The fuel is not staying in the carb and that is why you have to spray to start.
