Ok, Been a while since ive been on here. My 2.2 Sundance has been running awsome. till yesterday. Let the brother in law drive it to work,
he got to work fine, then got home fine. then when he went leave with it it would not start. So he imeditaly asumed it was the fuel pump. I check the fuses couldnt find one that had anyhthing to do with the fuel system. Couldnt find anything that looked like a fuel relay in the book. Is there a fuse or fuel relay? aside from that fact i then pulled the fuel line to see if anythign was comming through. Put the line in a glass jug turned on the key nothing. Then i remembered that some of these cars the fuel pump only comes on when the crank is turning. Is that a feature on the 2.2? so then i tested that, there is a little bit of fuel comming throuhg the line when i crank. i ve seen many people use a pressure tester on the line to see if it is the 17-45 psi, but i have solid fuel lines, not rubber, so i have no real way to install one of those with out replacing the lines. enigine will crank and thats it. on like the 8th attempt to crank, it hit a lick, but not run. thought about the fuel filter, but if the PSI was low wouldnt it at least run for a second and then die from starvation?
Any ideas. any thing that is an easy test would be awsome but i know sometimes these arent easy fixes.
