I was driving, my gauge hasnt been working recently because of stupid reasons. Anywhos, I tried to play it safe by driving slowly...but I guessed I ran out of gas and my car died. I went to get 3 gallons worth to put it into my tank but still no luck. It sounds like it wants to turn over but just doesnt stay on. Seems like theres isnt constant gas flow. Any ideas? I can still hear my fuel pump priming.

And also...now theres a loud vaccum sound coming from - underneath the intake manifold and in the middle. Sounds like my breather box. But could that cause my car to not start also?

 

you have kill switches in your car? fuel pump kill?

i know when this happened to me my fuel pump switch fried... then i hooked another one up with a relay and it solved my problem.

 

one more thing...

you might have flooded your engine by trying to start it which is that vacuum noise your hearing.

 

Might also be your fuel filter...That happened to me once.
When you ran out of gas it might have sucked up all the dirt and ish on the bottom of your tank...Quick and easy to do, give it a try.

 

thanks for the info guys any more comments?

Have you tried putting any gas into the intake manifold, just a little bit or any starting fluid?

I havent tried it but...when I start my car, it seems like theres just enough gas for the car to crank and start on for like 3 secs and then dies. Like there is no consant gas flow but I can hear my fuel pump priming for sure.

 

You probably killed your fuel pump. When you run out of gas, the fuel pump keeps going. The fuel pump needs gas to cool and lubricate it. Running it without gas will kill it in a minute or less. Its like running an engine without oil.

Interesting, any comments on this?

 

Get a new fuel pump. Sounds like it is fried. Gas = Lubricant/Coolant.

 

bump this **** up

 

help a brotha out

 

pull your spark plug out and see if the plugs are wet.


you said it starts but then shuts off does it bog down??? try all the cheap stuff first befor eyou replace the expensive ****. weed out all the inexpensive and easy to do stuff.


and if you have any electrical components hooked up for management you might want to check your connections also.
