![]() ![]() If the above method works, and you would like to fix this problem, I would first take it to a local quick lube shop and ask them to flush the fuel system, it costs around $100. It should catch fairly quickly but will idle rough and smoke off the start, then smooth out once the excess gas is burnt off from the faulty injector. You can actually here the fuel pump prime, turn the key back to off and repeat, you should only have to do this 2 or 3 times, you are just allowing the fuel pump to build pressure.Īfter you do this, try and start the car. You can test this easily enough, the next time your car acts like it does not want to start, turn the key to run and wait about 2 seconds. After you crank for several seconds the fuel pump will finally build enough pressure and the car will start, but it will blow smoke (excess gas from the one flooded cylinder). When you go to start the car after this has happened, the fuel pump priming cycle will not build up enough pressure, and it will crank but not start up. Hopefully that will be your only problem, but the smoking after rough start makes me think it is a leaking fuel injector.īasically what will happen is a fuel injector will stay "stuck" open after the car is turned off and will drain all the extra fuel pressure into that single cylinder. You will need the quick fuel release tool to take it off. First thing I would look at is the fuel filter (because it is the cheapest fix $10), it is directly under the passenger door. ![]()
