Hey Guys,
Brand new to the forum here, looking for some advice. I have a 07 GP with the 3.8L V6 and 191k miles. It had an issue overheating and I flushed the coolant and replaced the thermostat, but no luck. Took it to a shop and they suspected the head gasket went bad. Long story short, I did the work myself, tore it down to the block, found several coolant passages completely blocked up, (will have to share pictures of that later) and put everything back together. Having some issues with it starting now. It will crank just fine but with kind of sputter but never actually start. I thought it was a timing issue and checked the basics, then replaced the camshaft sensor as it got really wet with some coolant and thought it was malfunctioning. Still doing the same after so I rented a fuel pressure gauge from AutoZone and tonight realized I have no fuel pressure after hooking up to the fuel rail. (i checked it on my other car and the gauge read correctly) So now I am looking for some advice on what to do next. When I turn the key I do not hear the fuel pump, but dont want to just jump into replacing it, instead want to identify the root cause. I tried to look at fuses and relays and everything looked normal, not sure how I should proceed from here. Any advice???
