The other night my car refused to start. So I sat in the car and turned the ignition key to where you power everything up and you can hear the fuel pump kick on.

I didn't hear my fuel pump kick on, and the motor was tryin' to turn over, it just couldn't. Battery was just replaced last winter. Alternator seems to be fine. I just noticed I didn't hear my fuel pump turn on just before you crank.

But now the car is running fine starts up no problem. Drives fine. I didn't do anything except let it sit there for a day.

Could it be a fluke? I have an extra fuel pump and i can swap it in like 5 mins if need be. Just wondering if there is something else I should check out? This is about the only problem I've had come up, except for regular wear and tear.

Any input?

 

could it be the starter?

 

main relay. If it's not, email me, and I'll send you a check for half of the cost...

 

Nope, turns over like a brand new car.... it's working now no problems at all. jsut that one night i had that weird problem and then the next morning, but the next evening it fired up like a champ.

 

Maybe it's the high heat and humidity lately.

 

Id say you flooded it if it wasnt for the fact it wasnt turning at all. did you leave a light on or anything?

 

i talked to bakeoff about this briefly... my car has done this 4 times over the past 9 months. It refuses to turn over. i wait a bit, it fires up but immediately stalls out... let the bish sit a little more and then fire it up... no problems for another 2-3 months.

NO idea whast the deal

 

Werd. I left my light one once for like 2hrs. Came down, wouldent turn over. Went home to call a friend for a jump. Went back down, started right up.

 

if it was the starter... it wouldn't even turn over?

 

fuel filter.
