Y33: NO Start

[mfarhan_86]

hey guys i drove down in my car 99 q45 in my way there i felt like there was some loss of power i push the accelator a bit it was ok.. well i parked it and when i came back the wont start i consulted a mehanic he said probably a frozen fuel line i parked my car in a warmer place where temp was around 7C for abt 10 hrs but still didnt stat i am wondering if u guys can suggest anything i had same kind of problem with my lincoln where it just wouldnt start and i reset the fuel pump which was very accessible in that car in this i have no clue where the pump is i dont even know if it can be reset in this car or any way to check if its working or not? or maybe the fuel filter is clogged cuz the car cranks just fine it just wont turn over like there is no fuel to the engine. thanks for ur help guys.

With any brand of vehicle the first thing one does is measure the fuel pressure as the fuel hose goes on to the engine.

Diificult to guess with out any maintenance history, but unless you have not changed the fuel filter in the last 24Km, I doubt is is the fuel pump.

Try a bottle of ISO-HEET, just for grins if you have some condensation in the tank.

i already put in iso heet for what i have been told if it is a frozen line the only way to treat is to wait for it to thaw by putting it somewhere warm which i already tried i havent changed fuel filter i got this vehicle recently and have put ant 7-8 thousand km so far how can i check for fuel pressure?i am guessing it might actully be the filter then is there anyway to check?

You measure the fuel pressure the same on all cars by inserting a T adapter in series with the fuel line and connect to your 0-100 psi fuel pressure gauge.

Download the FSM and spend a few hours studying the first few hundred pages [engine etc]

Fuel filter is cheap. Replace it with OEM only.

Actually it will from http://www.infnitpartsusa.com

First one I can remember in a FY33.

yea man tell me abt it such bad luck lol.. i couldnt believe it let alone the mechanic who was so sure that the pump could not go bad until physically checking it and it was not pumping... thanks for the link their price is good but i am in canada and if i order it from there its gonna take a while to get here and custom charges i think i might as well pay extra $50 and buy it here.
