waiting for someone to helpme get a jump, and yes the hubcaps are back on
Did your's give a healthy crank though? I've used sub par cables to try and jump a car and it would not work. But the crank was still slow or not at all. Bigger gauge cables and it cranked like a new battery was in it and the car fired right up.Could be the battery itself. Doesnt have enough amps to crank the engine. When ours went bad (after 2 years, no prior issues) it wouldnt start even with another car connected with cables. Had to actually replace the battery.
yes I did smell a lot of fuel :thumb2:bet it smelt of fuel pretty good when it finally did start.
His I am betting was cold/battery related which caused him to keep trying to start it which caused the injectors to keep dumping fuel. Your's I'm betting is the fuel pressure regulator. When it's the FPR your car will crank just fine but not start. If I were you I would turn the key to the on position, wait a few seconds, then proceed to crank. You may need to crank it a little longer then usual but it should start unless your FPR is totally shot.Coincidentally, my V started doing this today also.. I dont think I can contribute it to cold starts, since it was below 0 the past 2 days and it started fine, but today at 30, I had issues..
really does sound like a fuel pressure regulator problem. You can buy a gauge and install it to keep an eye on the pressure if you want.So this morning I went to start the car, and did as said, I put the key in, turned it but didn't start it, and then waited. After about 5 seconds I turned the key to start it amd although it took longer than a normal start, it was quicker than what I was dealing with yesterday. I had this problem before, last spring, and it went away on its own, although I bought a new battery which might have done something.
