My mule will not keep running. Stopped suddenly after good start. Replaced the fuel pump. Still will not keep running. Fires. Then stops. Fires on starting fluid. What could it be?

When you say it fires with starting fluid can you keep it running with the starting fluid or does it just fire while cranking the starter then stop when the key is turned to run if it keeps running with the starting fluid then you still have a pump problem or the filter could be plugged or the carb could be bad but if it'd fuel injection then it might just not getting enough pressure fuel injection takes high pressure

Janitrol aircraft heater will not light

Janitrol heaters can be dangerous things and you should only mess with them if you know what you are doing. Since you have asked the question here, I might assume you don't know what you are doing and as such I would advise you to take it to a qualified technician. There was a case of a Janitrol heater exploding in flight, blowing the nose off a piper Aztec. Luckily for the pilot, the good old Aztec has a tubular metal frame at the front, which supports all the necessary structure including the nose landing gear. He was able to fly the aircraft and land safely, although it was a bit cold and draughty.
The Heater has a built in logic sequence. If any parameter fails it will not start. First it needs combustion pressure which is supplied by the fan. Then it will check the overheat switch and if it is cold enough it will start the ignitor. If all the ducks are in a row it will finally allow the fuel to be injected, but if the fuel pressure is not sufficient the fuel solenoid will not open. If the fuel is injected with no spark, any subsequent spark will blow it up. That is why you don't mess with it. Testing different items out of sequence can cause the item to stop or start at the wrong time. If at any time the start sequence is interrupted, the whole start sequence will start again from the beginning after at least one minute of purging air has been pumped through the unit by the blower fan. If the fan is tired or the airflow has been restricted or too much fuel is injected, the unit will overheat and will automatically switch off the fuel. The fan should continue to run, but generally a manual reset is required to alert the operator that an overheat condition existed and may still exist.

Hope this helps.

Why won't my car stay running after it ran out of gas

Most newer cars are very sensitive to being ran low on gas. The fuel pump is in the tank and relies on fuel to cool it down. Your fuel pump is now probably not pumping the required pressure for the fuel injection system to work properly (or at all).

94 gmc sierra 4.3 v6 manual, won't turn over, can hear fuel pump start when accessories turned on..won't fire, girl who needs help

The first thing I would check is fuel pressure. This type of fuel injection requires a minimum fuel pressure in order to operate. If fuel pressure is as little as one psi below minimum the vehicle will not start. You can try squirting a couple of shots of carb spray into the air snorkel while somebody cranks the engine over. If the engine starts and then dies you now you fpdeffinetely have a fuel issue. If the engine still won't start check for spark. Let me know what you find. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

1988 toyota camry 2.0 turns over but won't start. Car has been driving like a champ and one morning wouldn't start. Turns over fine but won't fire. Tested for spark by removing spark plugs...

Fuel pressure at idle is normally 30-35psi. Start by taking the gas cap off, and putting it back on. That will De-pressurize the fuel system. Also, make sure you have gas in the car. I have seen gauges on these cars read wrong. I hope this helps.

DAYTON 210,000 BTU OIL-FIRED HEATER WON T LIT UP

You write "FUEL SPRAYING AND FAN WAS WORKING"

If the fan was working, but the fan is not working now after replacing the whole kit, then something was installed incorrectly during the installation, possibly the rotor gap or rotor thickness is not correct or vane/vanes installed 90 degrees off.
