They didn't start putting the Ecotec engines in the Cavaliers and sunfires until 03 so no coil over plug on any of the cars mentioned here. Egr has nothing to do with the coil, the wires just happen to run in the same loom. Drill a hole in the power steering cap so contaminates can enter the pump and destroy it. The power steering cap has a special vent in it so when the reservoir is over filed it has somewhere to go.
I will be quite surprised if your car makes it to next month without something breaking. Your fan doesn't work? Check the relay, check the fuseable link. Try being a mechanic instead of "tard" rigging it so the next guy that works on it isn't stepping into a boobie trap.
Start with all the fuses, in the main fuse box, I pull them out with little plyers, read other forms, one side of a burnt fuse, if you look closely, could stop it from firing. Make sure that your oil, is not over filled, it could fail the new spark plugs, make sure you look at the plugs before you buy them, for loose end caps, and bad points, Make sure the ponits are not chiped! Or check for the 4 main things an engine to run, 1. Spark and 4.
Stop throwing parts at a vehicle and hope it fixes it. Diagnose the issue find the problem and fix that. I have a civic it a 99 or 00 and it wont stort it turns over but wont stort any one know abot them please help me.
Everthing works on it and I just got it today I just need so ideds call if you know and thinga bout them I have grand am gt 3. I was having the same problem with my car. I thought that it would have a check engain light if it was that. I am having a similar issue with my sunfire. Got to my son's baseball game and afterward it wouldn't start. It would turn over but that was it. Couple of days ago I changed the fuel filter and it had life for about 30 seconds and then started acting up again.
The fuel pump is working, it got new spark plugs not too long ago. Any ideas? Check for spark, check for fuel pressure and injector pulse. Check for spark by pulling plug wires, take a screw driver and gently, shouldn't even have to push, insert it into the wire, set the screw driver on the valve cover or somewhere where the metal shank is near a good ground.
Stand back and crank the engine while watching for spark. Use a fuel pressure gauge rent at AutoZone to test fuel pressure, check injector pulse with a noid light set rent from AutoZone.
Seams like we're loosing fuel pressure around the throttle body we checked the egr valve already and cleaned that and throttle body and last night found out that if u continuously spray fuel in Carb it'll stay running.
You check fuel pump relay? Swap it with another to see if helps. Check resistance from relay to ground on the fuel pump lug, should be the one across from the lug that has constant battery power. Check fuel filter, if the pump is bad then replace the fuel filter with it.
Pump should run for a few seconds when you turn the key on then turn off, try listening for it. The tube that feeds the injector manifold has a capped needle valve - like a bicycle tire valve.
Unscrew the cap and press th needle post with a nail or something. Eric J answered 7 years ago. Full coil spark white in color full presure at rail, orange spark from plugs against block. Damn thing doesnt want to start. Also the plugs are wet from injector spraying. Fuel pump is humming. Replaced the CPS only sofar. Going to replace spark plugs and wires boots any input is needed. Fb message me with help john.
You seem to know ur shit. N The computers, in these complete coil pack cars as one peice all the way accross, are not all readable by a shops computer system, it just takes skill and money, if it runs rich, Intake gasket or fuel filter, or clean the intake sinser, its a skill you may or may not devlope, to work on cars by your own thinking and learning.
Ac Delco, make sure thay are not chiped on the points, and that they are gaped, and nothing is loose on them, any of them, then before you put them in, put a hair of oil on a qtip, On only the upper threads of the spark plugs, before you put them in nice and snug, shoot two shots of starting fluid in all the wholes, let dry for 5mins, then wipe out with papyet tawles them holes, then proseed put all plugs in, only after you made sure your oil dip stick is not over filled, I change all of this, and do all of this any time, any car wont start, and last Spray 7 shots of starting fluid, in the carb hole, open it spray in their, then put the air filter back on go turn your key.
Every 6 months, and use injector cleaner ever other other month. John you should never have to drop that kind of money into anything unless you are rebuilding the engine. You have not honed any mechanical skills because mechanics don't just throw parts at cars they diagnose stuff. I'm sure you're trying to help but all you will end up doing it's getting people to waste money. Eric, not sure how you want me to pm you on Facebook bud. All I can see is your car profile.
Well john, the DOHC timing chain broke. Would you recommend rebuilding or scrapping? Its the interface 2. Pull the head and check the damage, may have gotten lucky. Place down the street from me specialises in carbs and heads, ironically the place is called carbs and heads.
Pistons and rods are dirt cheap too. Depends on the amount of time you want to spend with it. They are easy to work on. While you're in there you could do a little work and build decent power on that thing. Usually an interference engine will make a pretty good thud when it interferes and it won't crank. Piston hits the valve and it keeps it from cranking or a rocker snaps. It is your call, I never had to do it yet thank god, my 2.
Also my car runs rough, due to intake gasket, I have been driving it that way ever sence 80, miles, to ,, and have gottin ticks for speeding because I have to drive it that way, but it is very dependable,. I cant drive it with the ac on in town, And no I could care less, about the prepy intake gasket, because point a to point b matters most to me, I herd the gaskets for the intake for the 2. And always check the starter fuse, thats the kicker in this segment, put a new fuse if you see its burnt a lil bit put a new fuse to start it if bad.
Please dont run the car down the road if it runs bad like I do tho, I just am telling you if it cranks how to start it simply,. John, cylinder one and four not firing are due to a bad coil, not an intake gasket.
Stop giving people advice. Ok dum dum , but usaly when the coil is bad the dame thing wont start, Just crank and crank away, in the winter my car Pontiac Sunfire the 04 modle, runs great, but in the summer runs at bad Idel, why mr smarty paints tell us why then mr engine? Ok dum dum wat ever you say, now go drink a cup of shut up , and go away, by by now ,.
Dude John, you can have this form, your gunna have alot of people mad, at you tho, pull the head off a engine, because it wont start, is just plumb ate up dont you think, and blinking lights man wat ever, Im done with it. How about you go back to school and learn how to spell jackass.
One section of the coil controls cylinder 1 and 4, the other controls cylinder 2 and 3. He said the timing chain broke dipshit which means he needs to pull the head to assess the damage. I never said pull the head because it won't start. Learn to read learn to spell and for the sake of others on the road stop working on cars.
Vacuum leak causes a p multiple cylinder misfire, not a or My is a well made car,interior is really nice,good features and just a 2. I can say the 1st gen stuff is rock solid plus lots of cool models. I do love my old J and while just a type 10 I do enjoy it. End of explanation. OP is correct in so many ways. My cheapo car my parents bought me back in lasted a few months before dying.
It ended up being my Sunfire. It served its purpose, and I had the dream to make it "fast" and "cool". I wish I had never put a dime into my Sunfire This is all my opinion; The car was good at getting from point A to point B, but for me, that is all.
What's the matter mommy and daddy only buy you a cavalier for your first car and you hate it so you come here and whine and bitch like a 5yr old in all your posts.
The automotive hobby is not about "right" and "wrong". Its about doing what you want with your car to make yourself happy. I got my Sunfire as my first car. Then I bought a Civic and then an Accord and a motorcycle. Theres a reason we're here on the J-body forum. Because we all have a soft spot for them.
Dips hit. Granted when I bought my first sunfire not my first car mind you I was intending in trading it for my buddies talon. Then I realized how comfy it was and good power for stock. So I kept it. Then a year later after making it how I wanted I traded it for a Camaro.
Regretted it everyday until 9 months later I was browsing Craigslist only to find someone partin it out. My heart dropped and I contacted the seller. The car was all there but engine was locked up and no exhaust. Sold it a few months later to a buddy to finish cause I was enjoying my camaro still. The love for my cavfire was still there.
Traded the camaro for a stupid clean sx that was flawless and perfect and lowered on legit coilovers, had that for a couple months and traded it for a 93 civic hatch You wanna talk about how cheap jbody cars are Rear wheel wells were gone, suspension was! Only reason I was interested cause it had a legit wxhaust, Si tranny, and decently built engine. Still slower than my quad with a knocking wrist pin. Then after a few months traded it to my buddy for my cavfire back Put tons of money in it.
Wrecked it. Fixed it again. Wrecked it, bought my 99 z24, put my engine and tranny in it and love this car! In the end I have owned "better" vehicles but this is where my heart is. I love my quad. I don't need "VTEC". It's like turbo lag without the turbo and even then it's still slow.
GuruBD3DY answered 2 years ago. Petesnova answered about a year ago. I am an old muscle car guy. I have had my 04 Pontiac Sunfire since 08 and ran it many miles.
I changed the muffler to a 2 " Thrush Turbo inlet and outlet. Open air cleaner and a few other tiny mods. Car is pretty quick for a 2. Car remains reliable and cheap on gas. I was considering looking at a V6 swap if anything or the Turbo. Either of these would make much more sense to me.
I ran nitrous BB cars for years. Laws have changed and not worth getting caught anymore. I can still pull a V8 to 50 miles an hour in most cases. So I am fine with it for now. Guys that install the massive 5 " mufflers , waste of time. Lose back pressure and hp and probably get loud exhaust fines.
I love this car, it was my first car and I've had it for years, and you know how men are about that car first cars, My problem is that its past the , mile ma Okay so I have a 98 4 door Pontiac Sunfire first car and I was wondering what kind of engine modifications I can put on it cause you never hear anything about a modified Sunfire.
