Car Doesnt Turn on but cranks!
 
anyways i have a 1/2 tank of gas battery is good, but the sunny delight isnt turning on as it would just cranks up but nothing. any test i can do to see if something else is the problem?

check your fuel pressure? spark? all the sensors plugged in? can you get codes? cam/ crank positioning sensor....?

Ed, don't go spending a whole bunch of money right off. FIRST, disconnect the fuel line from your fuel bar and turn on the key to see if you get fuel. If not, you've just isolated the problem to the fuel system. Next, find your fuel relay and have it checked...BEFORE THE SHOP TALKS YOU INTO REPLACING THE FUEL PUMPS. If you do have fuel, take your ignition coil and, if you have one, your ignition control module and have them tested.

well i did have my fuel pump replaced 2007 or 2006, but which line is connected to the fuel bar? and if there is fuel pumping out of that line while turing the car on then check the ignition coil near the driver diver side? im a noob tech working in toyota and im stuck here without a ride to work -_- i love my T5-R..

just put a pin in the end of the fuel rail after letting the pump prime does it squirt a lil out? can you hear the pump prime?

I had the same type of problem and it was the cam sensor. it had fuel, cranked but no spark. Replaced it with a sensor from Autozone and nothing, it turns out the new sensor was bad so I got a Bosch (oem) from Carquest and all is well. I have also seen the ignition module (on the coil mount) go bad. My diagnostic technique involves trying parts from my wife's 850... cheating but there's no such thing as cheating in auto repair.

yes it squrts

Sweet T5R 02-15-2010 02:54 PM

i just replaced the cmp sensor... i had fuel, sparks on the coils works fine, and fuel does sometimes come out when i put it on 2nd position. No start -_- damn fml

Agreed with bossboy...I had a similar issue and was able to isolate it to the fuel pump relay. Quick 11 dollar fix (love ebay!) when the mechanic told me "probably" fuel pump. Have you tested that yet?

Sweet T5R 02-20-2010 01:07 PM

did u hear a buzzing sound from the fuel relay? i dont hear my fuel pump primeing so i dont know if its that or my fuel relay.

+1 on the cam sensor its located on the right end of the exhaust cam under the upper brace undo the 2 bolts and carefully remove and inspect- if broken or damaged -- replace it

CAR IS FIXED... DISCONNECTED THE FUEL PUMP POWER WIRE AND RECONNECTED AND THEN TRIED TO START AND HEARD IT PRIME. The connectors look burnt though -_-.


Thanks for the Help guys! will make a write up about minor problems of the 850 if your car isnt starting.

Good job.

After you do you writeup, I will put it in the Frequently Used thread that is a sticky at the top of the fourm.

bossboy2 02-26-2010 06:35 PM

great job Dude. If it happens again, though, that's a tell tale sign it is the relay. When my relay went out, the car wouldn't start, then it would, then it wouldn't...then it finally went out for good.
