Re: wont run

Yes it is working. I just put a new tank, pump, and fuel filter in it 2 years ago. Could possibly be the filter again....but why the oil, smoke, and stench? Stench and smoke was probably oil burning on the exhaust, possibly was the oil filter...
Think I should change the filter again?

Re: wont run

Not sure if yours would work the same but in my lumina apv, you insert one end of the paper clips in the upper right slot and the other end will be 2 slots to the left of that. Nothing will be in the bottom row.

Once thats in, turn the key on (do not start) and count the codes (flashes)

You better do a google search though to make sure yours is the same... maybe someone else here can help on that.

No the fan should be temperature controlled, only comes on when it need to, or when the AC is on.

Re: wont run

Starting and stalling problems sounds like the Fuel Pump, had similar problems with mine. But that shouldn't cause the smoking problems, if it was smoking from the tailpipe then its either oil or coolant getting into the cylinders. White smoke is usually coolant. If it was smoking from the engine bay then it could just be oil burning off the outside of the engine, the fuel pump might cause this if the fuel mix is lean then the engine would run hot and it would be hard to tell when you don't have a temp gauge.

Re: wont run

I am really illiterate when it comes to this kind of stuff. I would just rather have a carberautor on it. And no dang computer. I did that with a Trans Am I had awhile back. Just wired everything up and slapped a carb an intake on it.

Anyway, i changed the tank(new), fuel pump, and ilter approx. 2 yrs. ago. Think it went bad already? Also i talked to someone this morning and he said it could possibly be the Ignition module and/or the Crank sensor. Possible?

Let me know anybody. And i really appreciate all the feedback I have gotten on this problem.

Thank you,

Re: wont run

If it is a module as you mentioned above, you should be able to get a code reading. See if you can get a code reader from someone to check it.

As for fule pump going bad in 2 years... thats VERY possible. many fuel pumps only carry a 1 yr warranty... they do that for a reason.
