1999 Pontiac Sunfire Turning car on

sounds to me that the car is releasing gas pressure due to a damaged fuel line or a bad fuel pressure regulator!

Heres whats up, I just put a new engine into the car, and I know its not the engine because it started fine in the other car i took it out of. When I hold my key in the start position for 5 secs the car starts fine and like I said before if the engine is still warm it starts right away. I had a mechanic look at the fuel pump and the fuel filter and both of those were fine, if I did fix the fuel line or the fuel pressure regulator how much would that cost, also how big of a problem is this... is it something i should get fixed right away?

thanks!

fuel line is relatively cheap no more then 20 for all the lines.

for the regulator, it will be in the neighboorhood of 30-60 bucks. it is a pretty necessary replacement.

Do places charge a lot of labor on something like this?

about 2-3hours labor, i dont know what the shops charge per hour of service there, maybe 400 bucks for all.

thanks, im leaning towards it being a damaged fuel line, the car was in a front end collision before I purchased it, could this have caused damage to a fuel line?



thank you!

that an many other things!

Yeah I had to replace the wiring to the headlights because they were broken only one light would shine, also the car had a blown head gasket so I put in a new engine from another sunfire and now everything works great accept for that stupid starting up! but thanks for all the help!
