it's me again. the gsr shifter dude! i forgot something! my ek has touble starting when it's low on gas. sometimes it wont start at all. i'm thinking it's a fuel injection problem. but it does start if i push it and get the fuel moving around in the tank. so is it fuel injection problem or is it a fuel tank problem? is there a sensor in the fuel tank??? please give advice peeps! thanks!

maybe it wont start because theres no gas?? lol no point in running on empty.

 

its because you are low on gas. every tried to drink a coke with a straw and get to the bottom and have to drink the last bit and get air. yeah its like that. don't run low on gas you'll suck up all the bad crap that sits at the bottom of your tank. don't run out of gas or you'll have a chance of your car malfunctioning.

 

agreed with what he said..never thought about it with the whole straw idea..very...umm...imaginary you are..lol



stew

 

I believe the sensor in near the front right part of the tank...and even if you sensor doesn't work, you will still be able to start your car...over time the sensors get less acurate...you may have less gas than what is read on the gauge

Like what was said before...you are low on gas...if you are on an incline like a driveway...it will have a harder time starting, if at all. Fill it up, does it have a problem now?...you also may have a warn pump or a clogged pump.

 

yeah i still have probs. and i don't park on an inclined drive way. the tank is not empty either. i can get about 350mi to a full tank. when i get to about 280 to 300mi then i have trouble starting.

 

They all do this. Let your car sit in the on positon for a second until the fuel pump stops priming. Now turn the key. Problem solved.

 

lol i dont let it get on e. it still has like a 1/4 of a tank...and that's when i have probs starting the car. i can get 350 mi on one tank...but when i get to like 280 or 300 mi then it has trouble starting.

Yes. Exactly. They all do it. Do I need to come to your house and demonstrate what I just instructed you to do?

Either do what I posted above or don't let it get under 1/4 tank of gas. It's just how the stock fuel pumps work.

 

i've tried that too. it still don't work. but if i keep a very close eye on the milage, then i'm okay. like filling up the tank at 280 to 300 mi. if i let it get past 300....then i have problems starting the car.

 

coo dat. thanks bro!
