Help car wont start...!!!!!!!!
 
about 1 week ago, my car start then die, later it wont start just crank, i changed fuel pump, new spark plugs, and new fuel filter, what could be the problem?

did you check you EGI fuse? put plug wire in the wrong spot? do you have spark? get a compression test too to see if your #'s are within spec -alex

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 04:38 PM

7 bar comp test, EFI fuses seem good, spark plugs wires in the wrong spot? i do have spark that for sure and she been parked for almost 2 weeks now

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 04:52 PM

check the plugs wires in the right spot, fuses seem old but not burned

enrique 03-26-04 04:59 PM

dead battery perhaps?

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 05:09 PM

fully charged..

J-Rat 03-26-04 05:26 PM

flooded..

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 05:29 PM

not flooded already checked.

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 05:29 PM

does rotary act up like wont start if they sit for too long without running?

J-Rat 03-26-04 05:32 PM

How did you check for flooding?

jinx22630 03-26-04 05:44 PM

It's flooded. Pull the EGI fuse, crank for a few seconds, then put it back in and try to start it.

rinse, lather repeat.

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 09:13 PM

it's not flooded i know that for sure..the car trying to crank hard, but kickin out greyish smoke.. any idea?

Mr rx-7 tt 03-26-04 09:17 PM

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 09:31 PM

SirCygnus 03-26-04 09:40 PM

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 09:40 PM

neptuneRX 03-26-04 09:44 PM

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-26-04 09:45 PM

Yes, but how do you KNOW for sure it's not flooded?
Did you pull the plugs? You said that you left it sitting for an extended period of time, maybe you have a leaky injector. Just humor me and pull the EGI fuse and do the un-flooding procedure.

This sounds just like my GXL, that's why I feel this strongly about it :)

when my na didnt start after it had been sitting for a couple days, i had to run jumper cables, and turn it over for like 5 minutes, i just stuff the gas, then it would start sputtering then i would tap the gas and it fired right up....after a fat cloud of smoke....

FC-ROCKER-KC 03-27-04 12:42 AM

of coarse the plugs would get fouled a little bit

FC-ROCKER-KC 03-27-04 12:45 AM

it sounds a little crazy/dumb but it worked

FC3S-NovaStyle 03-27-04 07:55 AM

i knew she would start but i crank and crank but still she wont fire up. I'll try the unflood procedure then give it a shot again.
