Thread: Loved my 01 until lately now I want to shoot it.

Hi just signed up on this forum - hoping to get some ideas as to what to do to get my car to work again. The list of problems just keeps getting longer and everytime I fix something something else goes wrong. for 45,000 miles more has went wrong with it than my 89 cutlass I have before this car. Last check my list include leaking intake valve, something wrong with the evap system, crank shaft position sensor issues, and now it doesnt like hills. For a minute my car has been stalling then the tac will die and the trac off light will come on now when it happens my car will completely die. some days when i stop for a second my car just wont start until 5 to 10 mins later then it dies again and i have to restart it again but atleast when i restart it it usually stays running. The evap system problem came up after having my gas gauge fixed.

Or possibly weak battery?

took off the evap canister and discovered that it was completely fuel of liquid gas. cant really update anything else since nothing has been tested yet.

When my 02 hit 120k it was all down hill.

My fuel pump died out on me, thinking that might be why it didnt want to go up hills. I put in a new fuel pump, changed the evap canister, and put in a new crankshaft sensor. now the car wont start at all, it cranks and tries but it just wont roll over. I believe that I am going to put in my old crankshaft sensor tonight to see if it will start, then start back tracking from there to figure out whats up. 15 days until i have to have my car to go on my vacation :-(

I am pretty sure that i hooked all the fuel lines up right; however, since they were hooked up incorrectly when i took it apart I had to go off of what was wrote on the lines, the size of the fittings, and a horrible diagram i found online. I have not changed the filter yet. if putting on the crankshaft sensor does not work, the next step is going to be to find out if its missing fire or fuel.
