Hi there,

I had that problem since a bought the car... everytime I go to the gaz station to fill my tank... my car won't start... I have to put press the gaz pedal to start the car... I changed to the gaz cap... Notting change...

Need help

THank You
by the way I'm new here

 

Are you sure thats your issue., If your driving to the gas station and then turning your car off waiting for the gas to fill, and then you turn the car back on, the main relay would cause it not to start properly.

 

I drive to the gas station, turn my car off, fill up, turn my car back on, and then i drive away without any problems and i have been doing this forever, how are you supposed to fill up your car then?

 

that is obviously why he is posting.

 

you may have a cloggedfuel filter. If your pulling up to the gas station when the car is just about to run out, leave it run while you pump it, running it low like that sucks all the sediment from the bottom ofthe tank into the fuel filter. Theres times I've rolled into the gas station completly out of gas and it took me 45 mins, to start the *****. If it was the main relay, it would just do it at the gas station, it would do it all the time.

 

You make a good, point^^^

But I was merely adding other ideas than it just being filling up on gas.

But if you have ever had a main relay problem, you would know that the thing can be intermittent. I usally drove the car from point A to point B, and it would never have an issue, its usally fine on cold starts, atleast it was in my case. But when you do on and off stop and go is when I had the issue. So if OP is driving to the gas station and turning the car off and then trying to leave again, it would make sense that COULD be an issue to check out

 

I know them main relays are tricky. They usually gobad when it gets warmer out, or if it getscolder out. When mine went in my integra, I would crawl under the dash a tap on it with the end of a screwdriver and that frees the contactsin the relay up temporarely. The bestway to tell if its the main relay is to listen for the fuel pump or if you havea hard time hearing it insideyou car have a buddy turn the key to the on position were the lights come on and if you don't hear that fuel pump humming and pumpin fuel,mos def main relay

 

Thanks for the comments

first of all, I hear the fuel pump everytime I start the engine.

also I tried once and wait until the gaz is fill and still my car won't start...

once it started right away after putting some gaz... and I drove for about 2 minutes... and press the clutch...my RPM goes on 0... everything goes down... every lights of my dash board are on... no more power steering... it's weird

it only happen when I put gaz... other than that never had a problem with starting my car

 

The problem occurs only when I put some gaz... it won't start proprely... By the time I drive my car... the problem is solved until the next gaz fill

 

sounds like you need to clean your battery terminals....

 

I don't see were the terminals are causing the problems. Im telling you those fuel filters get tricky and will do that ****. Tell u wat, next time it happens, try turning the key to the on position and running the fuel pump about 3-4 times before you start it. If it starts its the fuel filter

 

I already try once and it didnt start

 

i think your filling it up with kerosene.

 

"Gaz: a brand of compressed fuel gas products for camping and caravanning"

Sounds like incorrect fuel to me as well.

 

The only thing I can think of would be some sort of vapor lock?
