Ok im stumped right now so got my car back like 2days ago. I had to keep tails on coming home so I think battrry jjst copletely killed over. Well I tried jumping the car off yesterday and still couldnt get the car to start. Eventually the car wasnt even trying to start after I got batter recharged. The battery was half way dead anyways. Well I got new battery in today and went to crank and it still just doesnt want to start it will try to start but it refuses. I noticed that my gauges go dim and then act like they lose all power while trying to crank. I know car when I went and got it cranked right up. Im debating if its the alternator or distributor or what please help.
not starting
- Thread starter Failsafe88
- Start date
So think may be fuel pump
If the check engine light is on i would start there.Ok im stumped right now so got my car back like 2days ago. I had to keep tails on coming home so I think battrry jjst copletely killed over.

It cranks but doesn't start? Test the dizzy coil and ICM. Wouldn't hurt to have the alternator tested as well.
Do you hear the fuel pump prime for 2 seconds before starting the car when the key is at the last position?

The only code throwing is for o2 the stock fuel pump was going bad and my replacement was jacked up. The fuel pressure is to low while trying to crank.
Tell me would the dizzy or starter effect it from not starting below 1/8 of a tank
Would it help if i made a video to let yall see and hear what is going on can't check out to much today its been raining going to try and get some more fuel tomorrow and see if that helps any
So I think I need new plugs. I think they are fouled out
probably from running around untuned (like you mentioned in your other thread)
Yeah it wasnt much however think it was enough going to check them today. The plugs in currently are ngk iridiums. So after little bit I found by google and symptoms of my car I believe I need to go to step 1's
