I cannot find my problem on this forum.

The car starts in the morning, and I can drive for miles. Once I shut it off it does not restart until the next morning or longer. I can't drive anywhere unless it's a round trip (no stopping) back home. HELP!!!!

First, try a different DME relay that is known to work.

 

Does the tach bounce? If not, you could have an intermittent failure in the cam or crank sensor.

 

Next, determine if it is fuel or ignition. When it won't start, give it a shot of fuel in the intake and see if it fires up. If it does, the problem is somewhere in the fuel system.

 

I have seen ignition coils shut down when they got hot, then start working again once everything cools down.

 

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply,

 

I  tried two new DMEs.. Tach does not bounce.

 

This morning it started right off. I shut it off right away and would not restart. 'So problem happens while motor hot or cold. 

 

I will try the  fuel in the intake.

 

Thank you again!!!

Hi

 

possibly will need to replace the fuel pressure valve in the end of the fuel pump,

 

if the pressure drops when the engine is hot, the fuel turns to vapor in the fuel rail and injectors, car wont start,

 

when you say wont start is it cranking over and no fire? or no crank,

Hi  Waylander :

 

Thanks for the suggestion, but this no start happens even when engine is cold. It will start, I shut off immediately and no start. Need to wait a day or two to start   Fuel pressure regulator and Hall sender replaced. It does crank and no fire.

If you crank it. You mean no fire. No fire is no spark? Or not any fuel? The Fuelpump is in the back and you can direct connect a battery to it. So you can check this. Will it start. Then you have a wiring issue.



If it wont start. You have to check the fuelpressure and volume at the injectorrail.



But first of all. Are the sparkplugs wet when you try to crank it when it is a nofire?



Any sparks at all?



You must start from scratch and check all possibilities.

Which sensor did you replace

The one at the front above the oil filter or the totally impossible to get at one at the rear of the engine?



The front one on the camshaft will not stop it starting, the rear one will



If you do not get a bouncing tacho when cranking it will be the rear sensor, or wiring to the ECU
