crank but no start
crank but no start
i changed fuel pump, fuel filter, wires, and plugs.
after I changed the plugs and wires, it start the first time, so I let it run for a while, but after 10-15 min it suddenly died.
even since then I couldn't start, it only cranks but didn't fire up.
any help is appreciated.

if the motor just died out i would say check for fuel since you replaced the fuel pump, then check for spark since your replaced your plugs and plug wires (or check for spark 1st since its easier), there could be a chance your disty went out.

There are only a few things that a car needs to crank, after that all the other stuff makes it run smoothly.
check spark, fuel and air. If you get spark, then check fuel, if fuel then try replacing the MAF. Lets us know how it goes.

check the MAF, resistance ok, don't see any cracks.
it starts today on the first try, but only die after running for like 2 min.
while it's running, i can smell some gas smell at the tailpipe.
after it died, it's not starting anymore, although i feel like it almost wanted to start (has the stalling feel).

Hmm sounds kinda like the problem I had last summer, it could be the wiring that gives power to the fuel pump and the disty, it runs underneath the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment, to the right and below where the stock air-box goes, might be worth a shot, just check the wires for resistance and current.kkyin wrote:check the MAF, resistance ok, don't see any cracks.

.... try to push start it ..... if it cranks it shouldnt even be the starter ... im thinking more along the lines of the IGNITION COIL... but check that out and let me know....have your boys push it till you go a good 8-10 mphs.... and pop it out of second... if it starts and it stays on after that.... its the ignition coil... it it still dosent turn on your looking at a faulty fuel pump check that out

check to make sure your fuel lines arent leaking.... check you fuel pressure regulator make sure its connected...check around the manifold... make sure it is not a vaccum leak... it could be the problem.... let me know what you find man....
