start issues

So turns out 4 year old fuel doesn’t work anymore… I drained the tank by bridging the relay and worked okay but noticed barely any pressure, also after bridging for a while fuel stopped coming out. I can still hear the pump whirring while bridged but no fuel seen, is it safe to assume fuel pump...

Hi- i have a 2005 vz lumina. I am having trouble at the moment with intermittent starting issues and the SVS warning. The last few weeks when i go to start my car, sometimes it starts first go, other times it just turns over and cranks, but wont start. I have to turn the ignition off between...

Hey guys, just did an engine swap on my vy. Got everything hooked up, linked the key to the bcm, new inhibitor switch, got vats removed, new fuel pump, swapped dfi plates, and its not throwing any codes on my mates tech2. I'm stumped at this point, it cranks but it won't start at all. I've got...

Hey Team ✌️ Brand new member and first post. Last week, I tried to start my 2012 VE SSV Redline wagon - it turned over but no start. Had the car picked up and delivered to mechanics. Code was P069E, mechanics replaced fuel pump. Picked car up yesterday and fired it up, didn’t sound strong but...

Hi all, I haven't been able to start my car for the past two weeks and I'm just looking for some advice before I make the decision to get it towed into a shop where they're likely to take me for a ride and charge me through the nose. I came back from working away for a week and found that my...

Hello everyone, I have a 2004 VZ wagon with about 297k on the clock, and it has a loud knock when I turn the car on, and when I turn it off, but not while I'm driving/idling. I noticed the knock to be worse when the car was warmed up and not as noticible when cold. I've been told it could be...

Hi, I have just bought a dedicated LPG VE Wagon which is often very slow to start. It does start every time, but can take up to 5 seconds of turning over to finally ignite. Once started, it runs great. I replaced the battery yesterday to rule it out as the original was at around 50-60%...

Hey so I’ve been having problems starting the VT. Got a new remote attached to the original head from mr minit worked for a week flawlessly then buckled it. Car cranks but it’s as if fuel isn’t sending but the pump primes and works well under load, also once the car decides to start there’s a...

Hi there. I have a L98 powered Nissan Patrol (please no death threats haha) that I am having start up issues with, and haven't had any luck searching for similar threads. When starting, it will cough and splutter and stall, or run on a couple of cylinders. If you rev the piss out of it for a...
