i have fuel and spark but my car still wont start. i checked all fuses and they are ok. starter is fine too! what else sholuld i check???

 

car should start if you get fuel and spark. is motor turning?

 

check all your ground wires. i had this situation recently. had to replace all my ground wires and it solved the problem.

 

check the timing.

 

is there anything else????

 

you want it to fire up right, throw a match in the gas tank. Sorry i suck at solving problems. so more info on the car like engine, car, ecu, running yesterday, just swapped, more info please

 

ok found out the problem i took out plugs to check for spark, and i saw the plugs were soaked in gas. so i dried up plugs then disconnected fuel pump. then i put the plugs back in and sprayed stater fluid in car and i started up. so theres to much fuel going into the car! i have a fuel regulator, i will turn down fuel with that! has any1 ever heard of this???

 

whats your fpr at? and what motor?

starter fluid? WTF? i never heard of it. and your FPR, what mods do you have? that is probably your problem with the engine flooding, as well as trying to crank it continuously.

starter fluid is an old trick, kind of like spraying carb cleaner, an engine can start with it but it burns it out fast.

 

do you actually need the FPR?

 

yea it set at 45 psi on a gsr on boost so that isnt the problem! i started it all up and now its making a weird noise out of the fuel rail. like air leaking out.what the hell is that

 

isn't there an Oring gasket on fuel rails? sounds like its leaking. maybe try another fuel rail?

Ok well I got the car started but its idling real rough and I give it gas and there's no power, the motor seems like its gotta work hard when u give it gas. Looks like all the ground wires are ok.

Well I know its a fuel problem cuz when I sparyed starter fluid in it and disconnected the fuel pump it ran fine for a few seconds! Then I put every thing back together it acts up now! I have a bdl fuel rail a b and m fpr, iam running dsm injectors, and I just installed a autometer electrical fuel pressure regulator, what is the problem.......thanx for your input

 

bump

 

any1 there

 

Had the same type of problems this week and my car was not getting compression. Why? because it was flooded so much or so long that it needed spark plugs removed, cleaned and dried. Oh, then the trick!!! while the spark plugs are out, take an oil can with a long enough hose to get into the cylinder and squeeze a little oil into each cylinder. This will allow the car to get compression again. You see the gas in the cylinder walls is causing to slick a surface and it doesn't have enough compression to start. Worked like a champ on my car. Hope this helps!!!
