start's than shut's off

[StoCKCb7]

ima try to find my best way to put this lol.


So i went to get some gas. And when i try to start the car again. turn's on for a sec and just die's. and the battery dosent do that funny dying sound. so i dont think it's the battery . all it do is just Crank's but wont start.. happen's alot of time's.. i Alway's have to wait about 5-7 min's than it would start back up again. One of my friend have the same problem but he only want's about a 1 or 2 but i have to wait 5-7 min's in order it to start up again...

Anyone have this problem or have any clue??




Update. JAN.7-

So samething but got worst. take's longer now to start up So this is what i figure out so far - This only happen's when the car is warm up.- Just like when i go pump gas or go buy ciggy's Quick run's. the car wont start up i would have to wait for awhile. But it seem's like if my motor is cold it would start up but it it's warm up than it would take awhile.. I really need help really bad i have to go back to school & find a job. Thank's so much for all the info.. I will have this car check up on Friday and will update you guy's


Any tip's would help alot & have anyone have this problem???

could be your igniter or coil. it's also possible that corrosion on your battery or cables is causing it to be too weak (but if it starts and then dies that shouldn't be the case)

is your apostrophe key broken? they seem to be popping up in all the wrong places

[quickangel93]

possible main relay. does the fuel kick on when you try to start it? if it cranks but wont start, it aint the battery.

what do you mean by fuel kick on.?

[C91BLX7]

Coil.

[Jonas]

if it cranks but wont start, it aint the battery.

that is 100% untrue. a dead battery wont crank an engine, sure. but a weak battery or a weak connection caused by dirty cables will crank but not start. trust me.



but yeah, the coil is my first thought. never hurts to replace stuff like that anyway. they go eventually, so if thats not the problem your eliminating that possibility for future issues.

Can you hear your fuel pump turn on? I'm betting it's the distributor.

[Jonas]

the main relay tends to go in the heat, so this time of year in oregon doesnt suggest that would be the problem. possible, but unlikely.

its more likely the coil or igniter than the distributor. again, possible, but unlikely. best to replace the less expensive things first. distributors are not cheap.

think i agree with this guy. very common for cb7

how would you fix the main relay.

[greenbme89]

i had the exact same thing happen to me two or three times...i never did figure it out but it hasnt done it in quite a while...its weird good luck though

[Mitch]

Do the main relay first then the ignitor.

Fuel Pump

You got to listen for the fuel pump to kick on. Put the back seat down that will help to hear it, and move the key while in the ignition back and forth till you here it kick on then try starting it. I to have the same problem but it only happens sometimes.
