i was told my sister parked the car and the next morning it would not start.
she brought it to a monroe service center.
they told her she had a bad fuel pump, i work at a junkyard so i replaced her fuel pump and tank for short money.
it still will not start...
the pump has pressure at the schrader valve.(it shot over the fender!)
the pump only turns on for a second, i figure this is because the line is already pressurized.
checked the anerita switch, and for power at the pump connector,(with the key in the on position) seems to be working.
the timing chain is not broken.
after running the battery dead, there is not even a slight oder of fuel in the tailpipe.
i also switched around a few relays, no change.
i replaced the camshaft sensor.
there is a theft light blinking on the instument cluster.. but from what i've seen...the alarm was hacked out long ago.
so, it seems that the fuel is not being released into the motor.
i dont want to spend anymore money on this car, she's trying to sell it!
also i dont have the car or manual handy becayse she lives 150miles away from me!
is it possible that the engine computer died?? PLEASE HELP!!!!
