Alright, I've been able to smell gasoline for a while whenever i'd shut off my car, but i'm not sure if that's the problem. Anyways, yesterday, it just quit starting. I had it started, moved it back, turned it off, and now it won't run at all. When it starts, it turns over forever, but doesn't start. There's a small clicking noise in it about every 1 and a half turns. Anyways, I thought maybe it wasn't getting any spark, but it's sparking just fine, wires are good, and I put new plugs in it. Same problem. I'm thinking it must be something electrical. Maybe a sensor that isn't allowing any fuel through. I'm not sure. I'm just looking for ideas before I have to take it to the dealership for a diagnostic. Any help will be appreciated.

1- your car is flooded now
2- that smell before might have been your fuel pulsation dampner. Check the dampner then unflood the car and it should be good to go |
Sounds like you might have just flooded it...try pulling the fuse out of the EFI spot under your hood and crank the motor a few times, put the fuse back in, and see if it'll start...

Hmmm, would it still be doing it after a day of trying to start it? I haven't had a chance to check that EFI fuse yet. Parents are sleeping and will end up bitching a whoooole lot if i wake them up with my car.

Whenever these cars dont start up, they flood, unless they are out of fuel or the fuel pump isnt working. |
Alright, that makes sense, and the spark plugs were grimy as **** when i pulled them out. Not sure about gas, but there was a hell of alot of oil on them.

How to deflood:
Pull the fuse, pull the plugs and crank the engine over for about 15 second with the gas pedal to the floor, wait a little bit and crank it over again... Then clean your pugs using a steel wire brush... Never use a brass wire brush as this will leave a coating of brass on the ceramic around the electrode and it can conduct electricity and make the spark occure where it doesn't do ****.. Now crank the engine over one more time with the gas pedal to the floor and put the plugs back in, put the fuse back and start her up... |
