i apologize that i post without doing a research, but i need my car back running very fast.
it wont start, the starter is spinning, i took the spark plug wire out to take a look if there is a spark, so i put a spare spark in the wire and grounded it to the head.
there is a spark, but its not that bright or strong, it doesnt have that silver look, its more like yellowish.
i also have the FPR, and when i turn the ignition on, the arrow on the gauge wont go up. i tried to jump start it, didnt help.
could it be the fuel pump or something else?
i will go and check right now if it is flooded....
i will apreciate any advices.
thanks in advance.

 

can you hear the fuel pump coming on?

 

If you have battery, and you hear the starter trying to turn over, I would definetely say something in your fuel system

 

starter can make any kind of noise and still be F'd up (;

 

you have a FPR ? that's great. I'm guessing you meant that you have the gauge that reads the fuel pressure, cause that would have a needle that moved, not an FPR. but that's besides the point....of you are not getting any fuel pressure, then you are not getting any fuel. Check fuses for the fuel pump. You should be able to head it prime.

Let us know what you come up with after that.

 

just another thought ... isnt there a CEL for the Fuel supply system ?

 

Go to the store and get starting fluid. If your car runs on that, then you def have a fuel problem. If you have Zero Fuel pressure, then that is a problem you will have to fix no matter what. Its not gonna run without any fuel pressure.

 

are you sure it isnt an ignition problem?

 

i checked everything, it turned out to be the main relay, which is located above the fuse box, right?
i read some thread when a guy knocks on it it does the trick, and the fuel pump kicks in.
the car started in half an hour, or so....
it starts now. but i have a feeling that it will repeat again.
i think its the main relay.
thanks to all your replies, really apreciate it.
tell me what you think about it?

 

smashing your dash everytime your car doesnt start isnt a good idea.....i would get it fixed before i drove again.....good luck; glad you found the problem

 

i am still not sure that it is the one... but i think that its what it is.
