I have a 2004 searay sundeck. 5.0 mercruiser with alpha one outdrive. I just pulled the fuel water separator to check for water. Replaced it and boat would run for a minute or so and then die. Did that 3 times and now it wont fire at all. I wonder if its not getting gas. Any suggestions?
Changed all hoses, spark plugs, new fuel pump, new relays for fuel pump, changed fuses, and new water pump and STILL NO LUCK. The Pontiac starts when it wants too, it does turn over (radio, lights, etc. all turn on), but the engine won’t start.
Does ANYONE have ANY ideas what else could be wrong?
This car is driving me insane getting it started. Granted, I have knowledge of motors and cars but I can’t seem to figure out what my friends and I are doing wrong. Ok with this car, we have been replacing parts left and right. It has sat for over 10 years but a couple months ago, we started replacing a lot. Here is the list: Starter, battery, alternator, distributor, spark plugs, spark plug wires, head gaskets, thermostat, intake manifold gaskets, hoses, belts, cables, water pump, air filter, fuel filter, fuel lines, fuel pump, installed new fresh fuel draining all the old fuel out. Adjusted the valves four times (we know they are good), checked timing way too many times and that is good and probably some other parts I am forgetting. Anyway, I bought a rebuilt Rochester 2GV carb from a guy with the same exact car as mine (1972 chevelle 350 A/T 2 barrel carb.) He said he ran it on his car and it worked fine. Installed it on mine and the car improved. When I go to start it, it turns over extremely well and gets really really REALLY close to starting but won’t go over the hill to say the least. Itll go vr-vr-vr-vr-vr-vr-vr-vr-VR-VR-VR-(and just about ready to vroooooooooooom) but it won’t do that. Just turns over really fast but won’t go fully and start and idle. With these cars, it should “mumble” or hear the muscle car sound when idling or turning over for that matter. But when we turn it over, sometimes you can hear the muscle car sound but others, all you hear is just regular turning over like a regular toyota or other import car. Not picking on them, but you cant hear the muscle car sound when my car is turning over. Sometimes you can, others, nothing. About 50/50. So anyway, I look down inside the carb. If you move the throttle cable back and fourth, you can see the accelerator pump pumping. See the fuel squirting. Sprayed starting fluid in there, and nothing happened. Just turning over regularly. I know sometimes before, you can actually hear it take affect when sprayed in there. It’ll actually start and then stall right away. But today, it wouldn’t take no affect. Checked timing light, and the timing is correct. So then, we took the fuel line off at the carb and turned it over, and there was only a lil’ bit of fuel coming out. It has gas but not a lot of fuel was spitting out. Hmm….? Like I said, when I hold the gas pedal down, it’ll get really close but just won’t go over the hill and won’t even start with starting fluid dirctly in there.
I have a Dodge Ram 1500 4×4 1998.
I was washing the engine and used the pressure washer to clean the outside of the computer box inside of the engine compartment.
Water got inside and started corroding the electronics is what the mechanic said when I brought my truck in because it was miss firing badly when put in reverse, miss firing a little when idel, and misfiring semi-badly when going at a steady approx. 35 to 45 miles an hour.
No misfires during acceleration or whenever the gas pedal is depressed all the way. (or maybe I just can’t notice the misfire that well during those scenarios).
1992 lexus SC 300 starts and only runs for 3 to 8 seconds. I have replaced PCV valve, air filter, used a working mass air flow sensor, and replaced fuel filter. The car ran great for about three days after replacing fuel filter but now it’s doing the same thing. Let me mention that this happened after I purchased what I believe was watered down Premium gas from the gas station. I also put in some water remover in my tank, sta-bil, and seafoam and nothing has worked so far.
We have changed the fuel pump four times this year. It does not hold it’s 60 PSI, it slowly drops. The relay was changed with the last fuel pump change. It ran OK for a while. Now when the car is cold the fuel pump will not work (no sound at all). Once it warms up the car will start but slowly looses its psi. The fuel pressure regulator was also changed. It slowed down how much pressure was lost but did not stop the loss of psi. Where do I go from here. Any solutions or suggestions? I also have a problem with coolant loss. I don’t know if it is somehow related or doesn’t matter at all. The leak is slow and I have not been able to find out where it is. I have to put more water/coolant in every couple of weeks other wise I have no heat. Any in put would be appreciated. Thank you, Tina
`92 Corrado VR6. Stock except K&N cone filter. Runs fine,then rough, then fine. Changed fuel filter, new plugs,wires,cap,rotor.Did I miss some vacuum line when I removed the airbox to install K&N filter, or do I have some bad gas?( I added isopropyl to fuel tank to dissipate water just in case.) Or is there a fuel injection problem that would only cause rough running every so often? Any sensor or part I can check? Thanks for any suggestions.
It turns over and over when you try to start it, but the only way to make it actually start is to hold the accelerator to the floor until a huge cloud of white smoke goes out of the tailpipe.
I’ve tried gas treatment in case it was water in the gas (since it has set for awhile as I am trying to sell it) and fuel injector cleaner. Any other ideas???
Free energy anybody?
