help please!!!
I have a 2002 cavalier ls sport with the 2.2 ecotec 5 speed trans. I have 90k miles on it.
I have been working on it trying to get to figure out why it will not start. It cranks over forever and ever but doesnt start up. I pulled the plugs, there dirty but not to bad, got new ones in today (e3's) im gonna try tomorrow. I tried a new coil pack and ignition module. No help. Check the fuses under the hood and the ignition & battery and there are getting power. I know the engine is getting gas too and i highly highly doubt it could be a blocked up cat. converter knowing it only has 17k miles on it. Im gettin about 160-180 RPM when cranking according to the scanner. and the computer is reading the coolant temp at about 60 whichis about right so I wouldnt think its the coolant sensor or whatever. I'm going to check the fuel pressure tomorrow to see if I get 60Pounds of pressure, because thats what its required I recently found out. What else could it be? Please any help i'd really appreciate. I need to fix my car. Thanks everyone |

Re: help please!!!
It`s a longshot for me being far away, but i`ll throw some ideas out there...
160 RPM at crank? And idle is 650 rpm + or -? I wonder about that.... Does it sound like the car is cranking consistently smooth? Or does it sound like it`s gasping or flooding? You will need to check spark, fuel pressure, and don`t rule out a bad cat..... even though it`s unlikely, it doesn`t eliminate it entirely. If you live in a friendly neighbourhood, unhook the exhaust and crank it..... if it fires, it means the motor can breathe when it couldn`t before. Just my 2C. Ryan
