ok when i turn my car to the on position with out starting you should here the fuel pump right! whell when i do this i dont here a darn thing! does this mean me pump is out!

also i just got my car back yesterday from geting a new clutch put in it drove ok for a while than when i was going down the high way it just killed! now it sits in my drive way and wont start at all, it will chug one time like it wants to start then you just here the starter spining! could this be the fuel pump!

Yes! It could! See if you have fuel pressure! Check the schrader valve on the fuel rail! Learn how to punctuate the English language! Lay off the caffeine!

There you go, that looks a little better.

First Option
Get a Haynes/Chilton manual for your car. Get a fuel pressure tester. Test the fuel pressure following the procedure outlined in the manual.

Second Option
Search around for the procedure to check fuel pressure and do it.


After you do one of those two, reply with results.

Look at the fuel rail. Either on the end of it facing the passenger side, or in the middle facing up, there is a black projection. it's a plastic cap over a schrader valve (tire valve). Try to start the car, then sticvk a nail or a key in that valve to push it open. If it sprays with a bit of force, you're probably making fuel pressure.

thanks alot man! i will check it out!

so it doesnt start, or you dont hear it? if you try it, say "oh my god!", post here, then repeat, then that might be your problem... turning the key to "on" every 3 and a half seconds and the fuel pump wont prime, because it doesnt have to. Just a suggestion, though.

i have no clue WTF is going on with this car! i had a new clutch put in over the week and now that i got it back it is running like shit, sorry for the change in subject i just hate being a post whore!

when i push down the clutch it doesnt feel like enything is there, it will let me ride it out till about 2000 rpm's and when i try to give it gas to get her going it kills!

any suggestions on wtf is going on!

sorry for any bad spelling!

Start off by checking to see if you are getting fuel pressure. If you are then try replacing your fuel filter. If it's clogged you will still get pressure to prime and enough to Idle/run under low loads, but not ehough fuel volume to supply your engine under the higher needs of higher loads. Thus it will bog out when trying to accellerate.

so obviously it runs. at least part of the time. I had this problem as well, (except mine is an automatic) but you might want to check your iac. Mine would work fine for a week then just die for no reason. Thought it was my fuel pump or my ecu. turned out my iac motor was messed up. Doesn't fix the issues with your clutch, but its a start. lol. good luck man, keep us posted.

thanks alot guy's, i am going to check some things to day, and the guy that put my cluch in is coming out to try and fix it "considering i brought him a running car and i got a pile of shit back" lol

i will keep you all posted on the turn out!

thanks again for all the help!
