my '02 sunfire started stalling out on the interstate but always fired back up until one time it didnt and left me stranded 200 miles from home. I got it home...replaced the fuel filter and drove it fine until about 500 miles later...on the same interstate it cut off again. This time it didnt start up and die immediately...it would crank good but just not turn over. I dont want to replace the fuel pump again due to the expense but what else is there to do? It still wont start...have checked all the relays...changed the fuel filter and still no fire. I took the air filter off and sprayed some ether in the intake and had someone starting it up and it cranked right up...until I ceased the ether spray. Is there something that can be ruining my fuel pumps? Any advice !!! Please!!

My Cav. Just died one day, and i still have some problems starting, my wire that connects to my starter came loose, and now it just held with electrical tape..

already replaced the starter...not many ideas left. One mechanic told me if could have something to do with the pressure the fuel pump was pushing out the gas...not enough pressure to make gas reach the engine. I dont know...still working on it...to be continued

Check the fuel pump.


Im working on getting the car hooked up to a computer and hope another, cheaper, problem comes up and solves the problem. Another problem is Im 300 miles away and in school with my car still at home so not really any time to do anything myself but call friends and have them check it out. Already replaced the fuel pump once so hoping to avoid another $140
