Car Cranks but wont start?
 
Ok i was going out to a friends house and suddenly the car started to rev down to 2000 rpm and sputtering i pulled over and it died . the check engine ligth came on so i look around the online thing i found a was a broke vacuum line and go it connected then it started again the did the 2000 rpm sputter. Then the gauges on my car goes crazy they started moving back and forth then it stops, now the gas gauge niddle is pointing way south ? Any Ideas

is your charging system ok? does the car crank well(like fast, or is it kinda slow)

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 11:16 AM

kinda slow cause after cranken a few time the car gets weak

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 11:22 AM

if its the charging system what should i look around for?

xsperf 04-15-2007 11:33 AM

well see i fyou can start the car first by jumping it, then look to test if the alternator is charging the battery

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 03:23 PM

ok the charging seems fine, and we double check for the pump and its not working, i think it burnt out cause i found out that, the vacuum hose was to the fuel pressure regulature i belive and it made it work to hard a burnt the pump out is that possible?

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 03:25 PM

also did u ever have you indicator read out in german instead of english

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 06:50 PM

dude wheres the fuel pump relay located?

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 10:04 PM

Car Crank Prob Again
 
Ok the car just ticks now and wont crank at all and i found the fuel pump relay and it only clicks once so i assume that it bad so why does it just tick while it starts?

xsperf 04-15-2007 10:37 PM

umm, clicking is your starter relay, not your fuel pump relay, fuel pump you will just hear a little humming/buzzing/whirring when you turn the key, did you say ur battery is good?

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 10:51 PM

ok the the fuel pump relay has the little diagram made on it right

NewBIMMERfan85 04-15-2007 11:07 PM

ok batter is weak for sure like the starter just ticks and the like sensor before the throttle bottle humms, i got it to crank but it started ticken again so im sure the battery my be going bad. So could it not be holding a charge and not be enough to lets say run the fuel system correctly?
