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

 

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

 

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

 

dead battery perhaps?

 

fully charged..

 

flooded..

 

not flooded already checked.

 

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

 

How did you check for flooding?

 

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.

 

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

 

pour a cap full of oil into the UIM...

 

where is the UIM?

 

its the upper intake manifold.

 

NVM where the UIM, sort of figure that out now but how do i go in doing the cap full of oil procedure.. thnx

 

make sure your AFM is plugged in

 

i check the AFM it is plugged in

 

bad starter relay? can't think of anything else.... how's your ECU?

 

no idea on the ECU condition. the starter seem fine about a week ago, i havent start the car till today.

 

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....

 

of coarse the plugs would get fouled a little bit

 

it sounds a little crazy/dumb but it worked

 

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.
