I have a 00 D2 w/86k on it and came home the other night fine, went out in the morning to go to work and it started up then when I put it into reverse to back out of my drive way it died. I went to start it back up and it won't stay running. I had my dad help me look at it and we got it to start and idle as long as we sprayed carb cleaner into the air intake. I checked the fuel pump relay, and the fuse in the engine bay. Both were good, I then took the fuel pump out and tested it and it worked fine. I am out of Ideas, and would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance Donnie
D2 Starting problem
- Thread starter djsalltrac
- Start date
just because the pump turns on doesn't mean it's good. The pump isn't putting out enough pressure. The fact that it even starts means it's turning on, no test needed for that. You would instead need to check for the fuel pressure.
I thought it could be the crank postion sensor too till I got it to start with carb cleaner, then that made me think fuel pump.
If you don't have a fuel pressure gauge, you *can* use a tire pressure gauge - if you have a spare lying around you don't mind trashing. Is there fuel in the tank(?)
yes fuel in tank, and Would it start with carb spray if the crank sensor was bad tho??? Where is the best place to check the pressure?
I looed for it but no luck finding it, maybe tomorrow in the morning when I get a chance to look again I will be able to see it. Anything else to check??
no codes, thats what was wierd. I am gonna order a crank sensor today from napa and try it when it comes in. If not that then I am lost as to what it might be.
I've been waiting 5 days for mine from Napa already. You might try Pep Boys - they are a little more expensive but can get them overnight for a small fee. You have to get to the store by 3pm for next day.
