92 buick lesabre Trouble with car starting after cam...
Have 92 lesabre and had running problem at first but it did drive, then got a diagnostic. It read that the cam sensor needed replaced. So I got one and replace it. It started right up after i got it installed. The next day I went to fix the blinkers and tried to start car and now it wont start! It turns over like there no gas. It wont start running. So what should I do next considering I've done research and seen possibilities what the problems are: like crank sensor needs replaced and couple other things. NEED TO KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE WHY IT WONT START NOW? Please if anyone can give me a close idea of what it is so i wont put money into things I dont need.

Re: 92 buick lesabre Trouble with car starting after cam...
Did you replace the magnet in the cam sprocket or just the sensor? The magnets are known to fall out of the sprockets leaving nothing to trigger the sensor. Remove the sensor and rotate the engine until you can see a magnet or a missing magnet. May need a light and mirror.
If ok, go behind yourself and check everything you removed and replaced, disconnected etc. Not questioning your workmanship, it happens to us all. Something loose, partially connected, or pinched. Then to the diagnostics. Need fuel pressure readings, check for spark, injector pulse, try to start on carb cleaner. |
