My engine wont start for days, then starts?

Thanks for the guides they help me see the crankshaft sensor needed to be replaced.

The van ran out of gas. I put 5 gallons of gas in and it only spins. It will not start. Is there any kind of reset switch or could the fuel pump have burned up?

My chevy venture van ran out of gas the other day. I put 4-5 gallons in and it still will not start. Have tried starting fluid, tapping on gas tank and still nothing. The tow driver said he did not hear the fuel pump humming. Is it shot or might it be something else? Ty

When you ran out of gas did you leave the key on for any extended period of time, if so the pump could have burned out by trying to prime itself up, also the pump uses the fuel in the tank for cooling itself so running them out is hard on them. I would check the pump by one of two ways first I would check the pressure which can be done up on the fuel rail, or if possible listen to see if you can here it run when you turn the key on, if not check the fuses/relays

Sounds like u burned out the fuel pump :o I ran mine out of gas and sure enough-- burned out the fuel pump. Kinda stinks since it fairly expensive to replace: $350.00 or so. I replaced it myself but not sure if id reccommend cuz it involves dropping the whole gas tank also some slight wiring mods due to after market fix of an apparently weak OEM plug on the fuel pumps. Not too hard of a job for a backyard mechanic though- It made me cuss a few times but I got the job done in about 3 hrs. Autozone guy said these fuel pumps are VERY fragile and prone to burnout due to running out of gas or even low gas since the fuel itself inside your gas tank is what cools the fuel pump. Hopes this helps someone. Oh btw, I had to take a trip back to the store to get the fuel line retaining clips cuz they dont come on new fuel pump so dont forget them!

Engine ranks but won't start. Can you help me?

Hi I had to replace the crankshaft sensor cost me $68.00 fixed it

I've purchased a new battery. I've changed fuses and relays. Last time it did start white smoke coming out of the tailpipe.

I have changed relay and also have taken it hundreds time to electricion, they could not find anything with it. It is driving me crazy. It will start and then I park it, it wont start. It is random and it drives me crazy because I cant rely on the car. Please help and I dont know anything about car

Overheated, water coming from engine side of fuel injectors and will not start.

It was not too bad like no water in oil, no white smoke out of tail pipe, just spun over quick then like battery is dead. Then water came up out of fuel injector from intake manifold.

My van has let me sit by not starting numerous times I had the fuel pump replaced but still have same problems get in to go wont start like a no fuel condition swapped relays do not hear fuel energize go back 2 days later van starts my run for a week or so then won't start
