I drove my new Caprice home yesterday, but now it won't start?

How long since a tune-up? Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand auto stores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. You may have to put up a deposit to get the gage, but, you get the deposit back when you return the gage. That's how they used to do it.

If the vehicle has mfi fuel injection, there should be a Schrader valve on the fuel rail, for the gage. If tbi fuel injection, then you will have to tee into the fuel supply line, different type gage.

You should be able to check for applicable trouble codes? If your fully obd1 compliant, you don't need any special tools to check codes, a jumper wire should work fine.

the engine cranks but won't fire and run. just put in a new fuel pump

Test fuel pressure at fuel rail with gauge. If OK, inspect spark at each plug. If OK, check compression at each cylinder .


Post results and I will follow up.

I can start my car only after the day warms up a bit, but it won't start in the morning when cold..why?

My first thought would be check the battery to see if it is low. Have the altinator output checked. In cold weather a battery will loose some of its cranking power. There are a few items out in th market to aid in cold weather starts, example , a block heater {it helps your oil stay a little thinner for a easier start} A trickle charger {keeps you battery charged for more cranking power}

My car wont start like it should. Heres the problem my engine like is on my car acts like it doesnt want to crank. But when my engine light goes off my car cranks up fine but it cuts back and backfires.

Try retrieving code/s from the computer-start here

replaced ingnition coil and distributor still wont start no fire to distributor

started car gas hand shot all the way to full it started but ran rough. cut it off, start it back up same thing. put it in drive it sputtered and cut off. so i change the fuel filter. at first it ran rough then it smoothed out i could even give it gas while in park, but if i put it in drive it sputters and cut off. eventually it stopped turning over. so i changed fuel pump still no start. gas hand still jumping to full. before this happened the car ran great. came home parked it thirty minutes later this happened. what could it be?

Did you find the problem? Here we are 8 years later I’m having the same issues and it’s driving me crazy. The gas gauge is stuck at full, and the car will crank but not start. Was running fine.

It sounds like the fuel pump when out. I would go over this video which will show the easy stuff and let me know what you find.

Please go over this guide and get back to us.

I just replaced the fuel pump. It is working and I do have pressure at the rail.

Does the engine start and run now? If not did the engine run using starter fluid?
