Alright this sucks - it's always one thing after another with this car...I just got it running after 2 weeks on friday, and now its down again
Anyway, here's whats up. Yesterday I was driving around and it was fine. There was a little sputtering once in a while, but I figured it was my cap and rotor since they are 2 years old and are in bad shape. Stopped at autozone and got new ones, drove home just fine. 6 hours later, swap cap and rotor, car won't start. swap old ones back, still won't start. It would crank just fine, but not start. After I quit cranking it would kinda do the 'putt putt' thing a couple times (like you're out of gas or something - if you know what i mean). I could smell gas after trying to start for a while, and I pulled the #1 plug and it had a bit of gas on it. Checked the fuel pressure with KOEO, it read 0. I can hear the pump prime when I turn on the ign though. fp still reads 0 when I'm cranking as well. So I figured my gas guage was a little more off than it used to be or something, and I was just out of gas.
So today, ride bike 2 miles, get a gas can, walk to the gas station, fill it up, add the 2.5gal to my car...still no start - obviously I'm not out of gas. I haven't jacked up the car and pulled the fuel filter yet to check if its clogged, but I will do that shortly. Right now I'm just so pissed/upset its almost funny so I don't even want to look at it.
Any ideas? Any way I can check the fpr and fuel pump independently? Or could it be somethning else? Thanks guys.
