Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / February 2006help...is there a fuel pump reset switch? please
My 1999 olds alero will not start. about 8 months ago i ran out of gas and after putting gas in the car still would not start, I had the car towed home and we added more gas and replaced the relay switch and it still would not start. A few days went by and i had the car towed to a shop. They called and said when they unloaded the car it started fine. The car has ran fine since and I keep fuel in it. But it willnot strt now and I was wondering if their is a switch orsomething that I can try, already tried the relay again and it is fine. Also, it has gas in it. Please help I searched many data bases and noone seems to know. There is no fuel pump reset switch, does the dash security lite stay on? Does it crank but not start, you are not giving sufficient to get help here. > My 1999 olds alero will not start. about 8 months ago i ran out of gas > and [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > and > noone seems to know. Yes it cranks but does not start. The security light is not on--I have had that problem before. And my car is actually 2000 not 1999 if that matters. would adding more gas make a difference? Thanks in advance Shep. >There is no fuel pump reset switch, does the dash security lite stay on? >Does it crank but not start, you are not giving sufficient to get help here.

It gets clogged, won't start, sits for a while and the clog goes back in the tank or down the line and it comes back when the car is started.. You need to check that filter, plus an accumulation of water in the system. >>Some one has to check for fuel pressure and spark to determine the source of >>the problem.

I have a valve stem on the fuel lines next to the injectors, which will not spit fuel out. I pulled the spark plug and hooked it to the plug wire and grounded it to the engine but could not get fire, so I wiggled the key and got fire and fuel, so I pulled the ignition switch which seems to be the problem (it cranked after I pulled the ignition switch and reinstalled it). I am not sure if this is the problem but the car is running. I am going to get a new ignition switch tomorrow. |
