frozen fuel lines????
Friday, January 21, 2011 11:04 AM
so got up yesterday -35'C and car turns over great, but no fire. not even a sputter.
warmer today -18'C stil nothing.
fuel pump primes, takes about 4 seconds... a little longer than normal?
checked the bleed valve on fuel line under the hood and no fuel comes out. not one drop.
any ideas?

03 cav ecotec never had probles starting at any temp before.

If it's priming and you cant even get a dripple from that valve, then there is some sort of blockage. Where did you last tank of fuel come from?

I've had the same issue off and on for about 2 months. Isolated it last night to the fuel pump and just replaced it. Immediately noticed a different tone from the pump when it was priming and although its only been one day, it seems as though that will take care of the problem. Good luck.

although where ever you live is damn cold, gas dont freeze till like minus 154 i think, lol. im full of usless info haha! but i would be leaning tword blockage, disconnect fuel line at filter and see if gas will pump out from there.


horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.
