So about a month ago, I was on my way home from school. I stopped to gas and as soon as I got gas the check engine light came on. The car drove fine though. Once I got home, I parked the car and didnt use it until two days later when I went to leave for school again. The car will crank but not start, it wants to but it just cant. I have already replaced the fuel pump, starter, battery, and spark plugs. I have tested for spark, tested the resistance/voltage on the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, coil packs, and fuel injectors. All of the tests were positive or in the specified range according to the tC repair manual except for one. The fuel injectors gave a reading of 13.8-13.9 ohms.
Does this mean that my fuel injectors are bad and need to be replaced?
If so, could failed fuel injectors cause a car to crank but not start?

Did you get the CEL code read?

spray some throttle body cleaner inside ur intake while someone is cranking the car over witht here foot on the gas a little just 2 see if your actually getting fuel just because u replaced the fuel pump doeesint mean it's working

weezyfbayba

also if u are getting gas... make sure u didint put diesel in ur car ive seen people do that so many times.. suck all the gas out of the tank flush the lines and rail and put fresh gas

Well currently there are no codes. The only codes that did show that are now gone were for the MAF sensor and throttle body sensor. I did have cylinder misfire codes in the begining, but they went away once I replaced the spark plugs.

I have sucked all the gas out of the tank, and no, it was not diesel. How do I flush the fuel lines? Im a little confused also on how to regain the fuel pressure or how to know when the fuel pressure is back to normal

How could you even put diesel in a gas vehicle the hole is bigger for diesel and at the pump it wont even fit in to put gas... I know this cuz im dumb and i have almost done it ha

Look at the fuel rail, there should be a relief valve you can press to drain the fuel in the lines. It should pump back up as soon as you turn the ignition on.

That relief valve does not pump back up as soon as I turn on the ignition. In fact, while im trying to crank the car it will go up and down but never stays up

I took weezys advice and flushed the fuel lines and rail out and also cleaned the gas tank and put new gas in the car. It did start but went off as soon as I let go of the key. I dont know whats wrong but I feel like throwing in the towel on this one and when I try to boost it off it is even worse

I had a pump malfunction at a local mom and pop gas station and somehow put diesel in my car... the pump that i was at didn't even push diesel.. wasn't an option. Ended up costing that gas station's insurance company about 13k... had the dealership do all my work

It could be the cams sensors. I heard that if they go out it will let your car start but not stay started. Hope it helps.

cam sensors will throw a code. to build up pressure turn the key not turning it on a few times. spray some carb cleaner, throttle body or starter fluid in the cylinders. for the injectors soak the ends without the o rings in seafoam for 15 minutes. blow dry them clean and add some dielectric grease on the connectors. see if that helps

4galleta

I tested the cam sensor and according to the repair manual it is in working condition. Thanks for the input though

have you tried just starting it you could just not have built up enough fuel in the lines. keep trying to crank it. your injectors could be just clogged up with crappy gas.

4galleta

Yes I have tried cranking it several times over several days and still nothing.
We still havent found out what is wrong with the car but we did make a shocking discovery today. There are little green worms inside the engine!!!
Has anyone ever heard of this? How can I get rid of them and do you think this is why the car is not starting

You have live insects inside your car?
That definitely takes a picture to believe.

wtf man? before you call an exterminator, you should check to see if you are getting spark. also check the crank sensor and look at the ignition fuse.
