hey went out side to start my car this morning and it wouldnt start up. battery is good, fuel filter is good, starter is good, i listened for my fuel pump and it sounded very quiet, i could barely hear it load. any ideas?

 

If the starter is good then my next guess would be the ignitor. Those go bad all the time.

 

same thing for my brother hes changing out his main relay hopefully thats it

 

good luck dood i was thinking it was the starter till i read it was good
try the ignitor

 

stick a screwdiver in your plug wires and see if there is spark by getting someone to look while turning th e car over
If no spark then check at the begining of the cap
if yes its ur wires

If not then it is ur ignitition coil

 

the starter seems to be completely good, never had any problems. im hoping that either the fuel pump is too weak to pump, or its just the main relay. how much did the main relay cost?

 

theres so many things that could be causing this problem its ridiculous =\. do you guys think that maybe because the fuel pump is so quiet compared to all the other cars i've heard it doesnt have enough power to pump the fuel, i was thinking of pulling the spark plug to see if theres any gas on it, if there is i can rule out the main relay and fuel pump

x2... check for spark, its probably a coil or something along those lines

Do you hear the fuel pump run when you turn the key to the ON position (not start position) if you hear it odds are its OK

 

i could hear it BARELY, when i compare it to my girlfriends car and my friends car, theirs are alot louder, iono if that makes a difference

 

does it crank?

 

yeah it cranks just wont actually completely turn over, but you can hear it cranking though

 

I had the exact same problem
I could hear the fuel pump
Main relay clicked and was fine
Starter was fine , it ended up being my ignition coil , BUT TEST THIS BEFORE YOU GO OUT AND BUY A NEW ONE

 

I believe i got a used one still laying around out of my 93 ls

 

swap it in and test it out!

 

EVEN TRY RETARDING THE DISTRIBUTOR... EVERYTHIGN THAT YOUR SAYING CHECKED OUT FINE ON MY TEG... AND WHEN I RETARED THE DISTRIBUTOR SHE FIRED RIGHT UP... SO THEN I DID NEW TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP
