#134835, "Car won't start and IDK why"


          

Okay I was driving last monday and my car cut out on me. I eventually had to get it towed home. Since then I seem to have tried everything. I started by unhooking the fuel line and found the fuel pump wasn't working. So I replaced the fuel pump... still did't work... so I traced the wire to the fuel pump relay and found out the relay wasn't activating but when I jumped it the fuel pump ran. SO I replaced the relay and it still wouldn't work by itself. Then I found out the asd relay wasnt working either so I googled and found it could be the crank sensor and I found it looked at it and it looked like there was oil in the sensor and a burnt smell was in the harness. SO i replaced the sensor and it still doesnt work... Idk what else to do. THe engine turns and if I put engine starting fluid it starts by dies I believe do to lack of gas. Please help Idk what else to do emoji

Use a multimeter and verify continuity between the blue/white strip (or is is white/blue stripe?) At the crank sensor and at the ECU harness. You may also want to verify you have 8v+ on the solid yellow wire with the car on, and ground at the black/green stripe (I think) at the crank sensor harness.

what happens if the voltage isn't reaching it? could it be with the ecu?

Could be. Could also be damage to the harness between the ecu and the sensor. The cam sensor is on the same 8v rail, if you're not seeing voltage their either, it could be an ecu issue. If you're seeing voltage at the camshaft sensor and not the crank, it'll be a break in the wire somewhere.
