Hey guys new to the forum, been checking out related posts and I need a few answers to my questions before i go spending a big amount of money. My car stalled on me whilst driving a few times, and i managed to start her back up again, but after a few times it wouldnt start at all. At first (after it had stalled a few times) I change my fuel filter, it ran fine BUT the next day it stalled again and this time it wouldnt start no matter how many times i tried. I then changed the fuel pump over, and after many many attempts to kick it over it started and ran for about a minute or two and died. Could it be my crank angle sensor? I turned the accessories on, and i do NOT hear my fuel pump turn on, or make a noise (prime) I have thumped the bottom of the tank, changed the fuses in the relay and still nothing. Does the CAS have to be fully operating in order for the fuel pump to prime (start pumping fuel) Or will i hear it prime regardless of the crank angle sensor? I havent got a conclusive answer on this - i would think if the CAS is screwed then the ECU and BCM wouldnt give the fuel pump the power (or go-ahead) to start up. So my main question is: Does the fuel pump prime regardless of the condition of the CAS? Or does the CAS have to be operational (or partly operational) in order for the pump to prime? My worry is, if the CAS has nothing to do with the fuel pump starting up then i may have an electronic gremlin, or fault to worry about as the pump is new and ive checked twice now to see if it was installed correctly. The pump just isnt starting at all.
(ive tried the cold water trick on the CAS - didnt work, but i tired this after the 6th stall and the CAS would probably be beyond resurection at this point - and screwed) so I doubt thatd help make a difference
Thanks guys, any help would be appreciated
