I think its fuel because ive tried jump starting it and that didnt help. I can also push start it. I also think it has to do with my fuel pressure, because when I have a full tank of gas it will not act up. But when I get down to 1/2 tank it will start, die... and wont start up. Ive gotten by about a month by just keeping the tank full at all times but its starting to get irritating filling up every 130ish miles.

Things I have done:
-Their is a click from the Main Fuel Relay(this means its not broken right?, does a faulty one still click?)

-Fuel will spray out of line going to the fuel filter(So fuel pump should be fine).


I'm not 100% sure how im supposed to take off the line from the fuel filter to the fuel rail, So I havent checked to make sure fuel is getting to the fuel rail.

Questions:
-Do fuel filters need replaceing on a regular(30-60kmiles) basis?(Could the fuel filter be my problem?)

-Could it be my fuel injectors? Is it to late to use fuel injector cleaning solutions, or is that more of a preventative thing.


I have not checked any fuses or wires or anything like that, if there is a common issue with these pertaining to my problem please tell me.

Thanks.

1. Yes. You can pick one up forless than $10
2. It could be your injectors, and I doubt that a cleaning solution would help.

 

damn thats weird, that it only does it with half a tank of gas or less, i would say fuel filter only because you are due to change it but the fuel filter would not cause that problem, the filter does not know how much gas you have.

i would say its the fuel pump, maybe its installed wrong and it wont pick up gas under 1/2 a tank

 

Well, It wouldnt start today, and it had 1/2 a tank, and when I took of the lines to the fuel filter and primed the car, it spit out gas.... So I'm assuming that the fuel pump is okay.

 

bump for the night

 

bad ECU maybe?? i knew someone who had a hatch that wouldnt start so he had like 4 different mechanics look at it and they couldn't figure it out. then my friends dad took a look and tried a different ECU and it worked.
