yes
i just remembered that i replaced the intake manifold gaskets but i didnt spray starter fluid on the manifold. could that be a reason?
If you push the schrader valve in on the fuel rail after cranking, does fuel spray out or just dribble?
im gonna throw out the resistor for this one to be tried first.
find the fuel pump relay in the under hood fuse block, bend tab 85 out so it cant go back in. this should keep the fuel pump in high speed mode tricking the resistor. if this doesnt work then you have another problem. good luck
So was it running, or did you take it apart and now it wont start?
i did the intake gaskets then it was running. Then i messed up where my thermostat housing goes. So I had to replace the LIM. So basically had to do the job again. But this time i forgot to spray starting fluid.
You spray after its running to check for leaks. Make sure you have everything plugged in. Did you have the coil pack bracket off again?
No I didnt take the coil pack off.
how do I know if I have spark and fuel pressure and injector pulse?
ok, so do you have spark and fuel pressure? and injector pulse?
Spark is easy...take off spark plug wire from spark plug, hold the end in your hand, have someone crank the car...if you get shocked, you have spark.
So i replaced the fuse pump fuse sprayed starter fluid and then started the car and it started ran for a couple seconds then died again and battery light came on. Thats the exact same thing that happend when i first started it yesterday. No it wont start again
good one
