96SE Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Hi there, I'm having some trouble with my 96 (VG33E). For the last few weeks it has been starting only intermittently. The starter cranks, but the engine wouldn't catch. It seemed to start better if I blipped the gas pedal, so I put in a bottle of fuel system cleaner (good idea, bad idea, dunno). That was two days ago. Today, it started fine in the morning, started again 6hrs later, and now won't start period. The starter cranks, and I can hear the fuel pump priming, the fuel filter was new last fall, and the air filter is recent (and clean). Once the engine started, it would run fine. No stalling, sputtering, hestitation etc. Any ideas as to what to look into? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogdor Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Check your fuel pump connection even though you hear it priming that may still be the problem, or your fuel pump could just be bad. My dads pathy does that same thing and it is his fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csutke Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 could be a bad fuel pump relay. if it that i would not suggest going to the dealer as you will pay out the ass for it. try your local part store and have them search for the relay by part number not by the fuel pump relay.
