Help, the Z won't start
 
Ok, drove about 4hrs to Ocean City Md. today. The Z ran great. Pulled into the camp ground where my camper is at. Shut the Z off. Set up the camper. Started the Z up to move it, and shut it off with no problems. Go to restart the Z about 15 minutes later. The engine cranks over, tries to start, spudders and dies. Check for codes with UpRev. No codes. Thinking it may be vapor locked, now thinking the fuel pump has died. When I pulled into the camp ground. The gas gauge was showing 3 dots. got the camper next to me to run me to the gas station. Got another 4 gallons of gas to put into the gas. Had 6 dots showing. Tried starting it. Same thing. Left the Z sit for 2 hrs. Tried starting it. It does even spudder now. and the gas gauge shows no dots. Help!

Doesn't sound like it, but just to check our bases, steering lock?

No. After hitting the start button. It would try and start. The engine would fire and stumble for awhile, then die.

I got phunk's race kit for fuel staruvion. I can hear hear phunk's fuel pump prime, but I never could hear the stock fuel pump prime even when I was stock.

When I change maps from anti-theft to my tune setting I hear it prime everytime. what does the voltage read on your car? Maybe the battery is goin?

I just re read and saw that there is no dots after your had 6. If your not smelling gas then I wonder where it went.

If you tell someone to turn it to the on position you can put your ear to the fuel filler and hear it

I guess? If he poured gas in and didn't notice it on the floor... Then we have a totally different issue

It appears that the fuel level sensor and the fuel pump are both acting up. Double check the pump and sensor wiring, starting at the pump/sensor and working your way toward the front of the car. Could be a bad pump/sensor - check pressure at the engine fuel rail.

It happens to me as well at least once a week. It'll rev to idle, then drop down to 0 and die. Press down on the gas pedal a bit as it revs up on start.

roy'sz 08-18-2013 01:19 PM

Maybe fuel filter?
