p8njadams Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 A couple days ago I was pulling out of my parking spot and after driving about 50 feet my car spuddered out like it was running out of gas. Electrical on the dash seemed fine. Tried to restart it and it would turn over and over but never fully start. Checked the spark plugs and since they were such a pain to get to I just replaced them all, they looked like they were getting close to being due for a replacement anyway. Still wouldn’t start. After trying a couple times the dash said “run mode change system check” I found that this could be a number of electrical issues. Other than that no computer codes are showing up. The Fuel pump is priming, I can hear it and I disconnected the line under the hood and gas came out when I turned the key. I took the alternator in and had it tested, came back fine. I’m all out of ideas for where to go from here. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Get a code reader and check for pending codes. Also check the battery voltage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanic58 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just because the fuel pump is running doesn't mean it's making enough pressure to make the injectors work. You need to check the fuel pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflystyle Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Had similar issues. Ended up being the ECM. It read like misfires on some cylinders when I pulled the codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
