Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Car won't start

i was out driving last weekend and about 3 blocks from my house the car died, it just stalled right out. Everyone told me fuel pump...fule pump. So i went out and paid $200 for a new pump.Screwed around for 2 hours to put it in. THE CAR STILL WONT TURN OVER!!!! I checked the fuse and relay and there good.With the tank in the pump i cant hear it runing or not. I'm stumped i'm abosultly stumped!! I'm ready to throw a match at the thing and blow it to bits

Sure it's not the fuel pump relay? Will it crank over with the starter, but will not run?

Calm down man... everyone runs into these problems. Does the fuel pump prime when you turn the key to the on position just before you start it?!?! Did your fuel pump shut off switch by the drivers feet somehow get tripped??? We will help you out, but we need exact details of everything you have checked. It is rare, but possible that your fuel filter is completely clogged!!!

-Reebs-

-Fuel pump replaced

-ignition fuse replaced (some moron took one of the maxi fuses and ran a wire thew it to jump it)

-unhooked the bat and re hooked it up (to see if it would reset something)

- fuel pump fuse good

-relay tested and good

-mass air flow, air temp and idle air cleaned

-Filter i have a new one but i need to get the car up to change it

I was reading something in the hanes manual about a fail-safe mode (limp-home mode) could it be that??? it said i have to get it on a comp to fix it
