O/T 93 LT1 Firebird Not Starting
I haven't stared this car all winter, And now it wont start. It cranks over but I don't think she is getting fuel. The last time I parked it ,I Backed up to far and hit the bumper high wall behind me with a good wack. What I am thinking is I might of set off the fuel cut off switch. All of my ford cars and trucks had one but I cant seem to find one on this car. I don't even know if it has one. I cant seem to find any mention of one in the shop manual.
Any one know if this car has one and where it is. Thanks Paul |
I am not familiar whether it is a Mass Air Flow System or A Speed Density System. If it is a Mass Air Flow Sensor it may be your problem. Otherwise it is probably one of the Sensors gone bad. Good Luck with it.
DPT :cool: :cool: :cool: |
Only Fords have the cutoff switch. Try checking the fuel pump fuse and relay. Try swapping the relay with another one. Just look at the other relays and use one with the same numbers etc.

Check for spark before concluding fuel system problem.
BT :cool: |
fuel pump go bad?
|
If all else fails.......give the fuel tank a whack or two with a rubber mallet. (I don't like pushing cars into the shop);)
Before you do this hook up a fuel pressure gauge and turn the key on and listen for the fuel pump to cycle for 2-3 seconds, ck the gauge, 50+psi should start it as long as everything else is Ok.:) |
I just pulled the coil wire. I attached a spark plug to it and grounded the plug. I cranked it over and ,
No Spark:( now I need to find out how to test the coil or how to see if I am getting power to the coil. If I am not getting power , then what????? |
Just curious? Does this car have a valet mode? My guess now is definitely something Electronic. Do you know anyone with the Snap on computer tool to read the error codes on the computer???

As usual, You wrecked something again
YOU ARE CURSED |
It can't be the passlock security system or it wouldn't crank at all. :confused:
