problem with the girlfriends car.......
Wednesday, July 01, 2009 7:40 PM
My problem here is as most of you may know I own a 99 Z24 with the LD9 basically designed for the track lol, but the Girlfriend's car is posessed, its a 99 Pontiac Sunflower, 2200, Isuzu tranny( new clutch, slave, and flywheel), green, full interior.....The story starts like this......first her headlight on the passenger side was very dim (corroded wire that was exposed), then the clutch went ( destroyed clutch, slave, and flywheel), her abs sensors been replaced twice( and light still likes to come back on), valve cover was leaking badly(rear part of the cover was finger tight with one broken bolt), then we had it not start at times, as run like crap( turned out to be broken/cut injector on the forth cylinder(replaced)), then coolant sensor was causing dummy light, but fixed, and now thee car was running fine, but the girlfriend drove it home to have it die on her at a red light, and now it won't start.....The fuel pump is working(can hear it no problem), spark was found 2 days ago (was strong while running), no leaks coming from injectors( that I can see), sparkplugs are new, wires installed abotu 30,000km ago, coils giving spark, oil is just fine, no vacuum leaks, all visual wires and lines appear to be intact, starter works fine, It sounds like she wants to turn over but possibly not getting enough gas, the girlfriend said the rpm would drop to about 500-700 when she came to a stop.....any help would be great as I am in the possess of doing the H.O swap and she needs car for work.

recent update.....had it running( repaired injector wire again), got to start, then went for a drive to meet up with Brad from JCO, and he shut it off and it didnt start, we replaced all spark-plugs, tried push starting it, it seems to be pushing fuel, but then again, when the car is running all injectors are working without throwing a code, if you keep trying to turn over it smells like gas, all getting spark( brad got zapped lol), battery full charged, all grounds are connected, coils are good, wires and plugs also good, running out of ideas..........

If the crank sensor was bad he would have a no spark condition. So rule that out.




Cavalier z24......A poor man's Camaro....close enough, right?

nevermind that oyu guys but the problem was her flooding due to bad fuel filter and bad fuel causing the injector to stay open
