Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / April 20072003 Alero Won't Start
We have a 2003 Alero that sat outside during the winter in Minnesota. I tried to start it a few times in the cold but thought the fuel lines were frozen. It's been in the 40s and 50s these past couple of weeks and I'm still having a hard time starting. If I turn the key on and off 15-20 times to allow the pump to run I can start it for a second and it dies. Any suggestions? Could the lines still be frozen? -- Jerry Spray carb cleaner into the intake if it runs you have a fuel delivery problem, then check the fuel pressure at the rail. > We have a 2003 Alero that sat outside during the winter in Minnesota. > I tried to start it a few times in the cold but thought the fuel lines [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > -- > Jerry > Spray carb cleaner into the intake if it runs you have a fuel delivery > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==----http://www.newsfeeds.comThe #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- I'll try that, thanks. -- Jerry > Spray carb cleaner into the intake if it runs you have a fuel delivery > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==----http://www.newsfeeds.comThe #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups > ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- There's fuel pressure at the rail. I sprayed starting fluid into the air intake and it fired. Could it be injectors? There is absolutely no firing on any cylinder without the starting fluid. It ran fine before we parked it during the winter. > > Spray carb cleaner into the intake if it runs you have a fuel delivery > > problem, then check the fuel pressure at the rail."Jerry" <jerrya...@gmail.com> wrote in message [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > - Show quoted text - What a weird problem to have on such a new car. I'm thinking it's a weak spark or something like that, perhaps from a bad coil? Either that or a bad crank sensor, so the engine doesn't know when to fire. Not sure though since I don't really know this model very well from a mechanical standpoint.
