What to do if your Chevy Blazer turns over?

If there is spark, then next would be to do a fuel bleed down test by hooking a fuel pressure gauge up to the Schrader Valve, turning the key to the on position letting it build up fuel pressure on the gauge, (should be 56 to 63 lbs) then turning the key to the off position and watch the fuel pressure gauge.

Why is the fuel pressure bleed down test not working?

The fuel pressure bleed down test would be verifying that the fuel pump and spider injection fuel pressure are good with no problems. There is gas up to the Schrader Valve so there has to fuel to the injectors. The only other thing it could be is there is no injector pulse to make the fuel injectors open and close.

When did my 95 TBI Chevy stop running?

Timeline and service related incidents— Little over a year ago, it quit a couple times—I mean locked down like the key was switched off. My local indie tech replaced the distributor (O’Reilly’s).

What causes a car to have a no start condition?

Fuel pressure should not drop more than 5 lbs. in 3 minutes. If it does then the spider injection assembly is leaking, which will cause hard or a no start condition. 35 people found this helpful. No fuel from fuel pump to the carborator, I pour gas into the carborator and it runs. What may be causing that the fuel pump is new??

What to do if you don’t see a spark in your spark tester?

While watching the spark tester, have an assistant crank the engine. You should see a bright spark jumping the gap in the spark tester. If you don’t see a spark, repeat the test. This time, adjust the spark tester to 30KV. If still you don’t see a spark, repeat the test and set the tester to 10KV.

Why does my Chevy Blazer engine bog down when I hit the gas?

Take it to a good local mechanic (not a dealer) and see if this is one problem. My Blazer bogs down when you hit the gas and has trouble starting. We have replaced the MAF sensor, plugs, rotor, cap, plug wires, and fuel filter. The fuel pressure is at 50psi when idling and 64 wot when driving.

What’s the fuel pressure on a Chevy Blazer?

My Blazer bogs down when you hit the gas and has trouble starting. We have replaced the MAF sensor, plugs, rotor, cap, plug wires, and fuel filter. The fuel pressure is at 50psi when idling and 64 wot when driving. Can we have pressure without flow? Initially the code was p0171. Now that we cleared it it hasn’t come back on.

Why does my Chevy Blazer not go over 20 mph?

Won’t go over 20 mph. Starts right up. New plugs and wires. Never really cuts off. Runs hot but not extremely. Mass air flow is usually an intermitant problem. This sounds more like a stopped up catylist converter. take the cat off and run it, see if it gets hot, most likely that will be the problem]

When does a 2001 Blazer start to bog down?

I have a 2001 Blazer, last week as I was climbing a hill I attempted to accelerate and heard a “pop” and my engine started to bog down. Over this last week the bogging down has got progressively worse but only happens when you attempt to accelerate.

What is the engine code on a Chevy Blazer?

Initially the code was p0171. Now that we cleared it it hasn’t come back on. Pulled O2 sensor to relieve back pressure and there was no change. Cleaned connections on battery. On scanner TPS checks good ( 0-100%).

What should the RPM be on a Chevy Blazer?

In addition, anytime you hit the gas to accelerate the RPM gauge suddenly shoots up to 3.5 and shoots back down to 2, and keeps going up and down until you let off of the gas. My first test would be with a vacume gauge. If the vacume is good it should hold between 25 and 29 at idle.

Why does my car engine not want to start?

If the engine still doesn’t seem like it wants to start, probably fuel is getting into the cylinders and your problems lies somewhere else. However, if the engine runs momentarily and dies, then the problem is that fuel is not getting to the cylinders. Check for a clogged fuel filter, or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

Can a faulty fuel pressure regulator cause a car to not start?

In the event your Ford cranks easily, but doesn’t start within the first five or six revolutions of the starter motor, you may have a faulty fuel pressure regulator. If the regulator has failed completely, the vehicle will crank, but not start at all.

Can a dirty fuel filter cause hard starting?

A dirty fuel filter may restrict the fuel system flow, or at least make it inconsistent, which can cause the vehicle to experience hard starting. This is more likely if the filter on the vehicle has never been changed.

Why does my check engine light come on when my fuel filter is bad?

Check Engine Light Comes On Fuel filter problems can also cause the Check Engine Light to come on. Some vehicles come equipped with fuel pressure sensors that monitor the pressure of the overall fuel system. A clogged fuel filter may cause low pressure, which will set off the Check Engine Light to alert the driver — if detected by the sensor.

When do you need to replace your fuel filter?

If your car is hard to start, experiencing engine performance issues, or has the Check Engine Light on, you may need to replace the fuel filter. 1. Car is Hard to Start 2. Engine Performance Problems 3. Check Engine Light Comes On 4. Damaged Fuel Pump

Can a clogged fuel filter cause low engine pressure?

Some vehicles come equipped with fuel pressure sensors that monitor the pressure of the overall fuel system. A clogged fuel filter may cause low pressure, which will set off the Check Engine Light to alert the driver — if detected by the sensor.

What causes an engine to turn over but not start?

If when you turn the key the engine turns over normally but will not start, there can be any number of reasons for this problem. Some basic checks will need to be done to diagnose this problem. 1. Do you have fuel pressure. Some cause of low or no fuel pressure are a plugged fuel filter, faulty pump relay, blown fuse, bad fuel pump.

Why does my Buick LeSabre engine not start?

04 Buick lesabre turns over but will not start..fuel pump is working..there is fire coming the coil packs..though it does sound like the timing is or has jumped.. Well, all an engine needs to start is fuel pressure, spark, injector pulse and compression.

What’s the difference between no start and no crank?

It’s important to know that a no crank and a no start condition are not the same thing since this article only concentrates on testing a no start condition. In layman’s terms, a No Start Condition means that your vehicle’s starter motor is cranking the engine but the engine is not starting.

Why does my GM 4.3L engine not start?

No Start Condition Basics There are three very basic components that the engine, in your GM vehicle, needs to start and they are: Air, Fuel and Spark. When your 4.3L, 5.0L or 5.7L GM vehicle cranks but does not start, it’s because one of these components is missing from the mix.

Can a bad fuel filter cause an engine to misfire?

A severely dirty or clogged fuel filter can cause the vehicle to experience several engine problems: Misfires or Hesitation: Under heavier loads, the clogged fuel filter may cause the engine to randomly hesitate or misfire.

What causes the fuel pump to not start?

The fuel pump is running and delivering normal pressure to the engine But, with all that working your engine still will not start. So, the most likely cause, is that the fuel injectors are probably not opening. The (PCM) uses the trigger signal from the crankshaft position sensor; and/or camshaft position sensor to pulse the injectors.
