Hey. So I just got this 2.2 gt 6 months ago. I love the car. It runs like a top..... except when it doesn't start. It's happened about 6 times now. I've got spark but no fuel when it happens.
It will turn over until the battery dies. One time it started with starting fluid sprayed into it, but that has not worked again. I did get it to the mechanic once and by the time he got it.. it started fine. It would seem after a couple hours that whatever the problem is it self resolves and the car runs fine again. I'm stumped and I don't want to spend a lot buying throttle sensor, crank sensor, ecm or so on. Has anyone ever had this problem? How did you fix it? Any ideas would be great. thanks |

under the hood is a small box that says diagnostics. stick a wire between +B and FP. you should hear the fuel pump running. try starting the car with the jumper wire in. if it dont start its most likely the fuel pump
