patrick Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Need some help and advice. My car ran out of gas, it cut out on me. Took a little walk to the gas station, then put about two gallons of gas in it which I thought would definitely be enough to start it. It didn't start, still won't start. The engine just cranks but wouldn't turn over. Have any idea what’s wrong, any ideas or advice would be cool. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyboy2 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Man that really sucks ! Well here's what i would do. First check the fuel line it mite be pluged ! Your engine is fuel injection so that's got to be the problem with that fuel not going through the line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Bradley Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 What do you mean by it cranks but doesn't turn over? Thought those terms were one in the same, but please correct me if I am wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamilyCar Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 same problem is happening to me right now. i haven't fixed it yet though BUT. pull out one of the spark plugs from the distributor cap and hold it close to the hole you pulled it out of with an insulated tool (pliers) have someone turn the key and check for a spark. if no spark you gotta new problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyCar Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 if thers no spark you need either a new distributor, coil, ICM, sensors or there may be a fuel blockage( smell for fuel under the hood upon start up attempt. or the alternator is shot( if there is spark) or there may be a burnt fuse.... there are many variables. you need to know how to do the tests. if you don t you'll have to reach in your pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
