The car had run out of gas. After filling the tank, the car still would not start. Thinking the fuel filter was the issue, we changed it but yet no dice. The car would not start unless sprayed with starting fluid and would only run for about 3-4 minutes at fast idle until it would stall again at normal idle.
We dropped the gas tank, replaced the fuel pump and strainer thinking that may have been the issue....still nothing.
The tank keeps good pressure and the gas lines appear not to be clogged since the engine does run for a good period of time. The injectors had been replaced, the PCV and the EGR valves are fine and the engine is not giving any codes. We even checked for a vacuum leak and everything appears good.
Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
