98 Sunfire Starting issues
Friday, February 09, 2007 10:52 AM
Hey all. I have read alot of the no start threads, and none of them really address my issue.. So here it is. The car wil turn over.. It sputters but never starts. The car is getting fuel..(you can smell it). I have had the battery tested and it tests good. The alt is only 6 months old. Anyone have any idea on why the thing will not actually fire and run? Any other things I should check?

I would first ask would you happen to have a check engine light on? If not, Next question, Possible you have a problem with youre fuel regulator the rubber diaphm could be wornout, Its dumping gas into youre motor an flooding it. In which causes the smell of gas. I would also do a psi test on youre fuel pump. Wouldnt hurt take a look at youre coil packs as well. Just get Ohm digital meter to test the current levels.

Good Luck.
