Crank but No Start Help
Hello everyone. I'm a new owner of a 2008 X5 3.0. It was my parent's car and as they were looking to downside as they are elderly, I've bought it. It has fairly low miles as they barely drove it (58,000) and has been routinely serviced.
Vehicle was in NC and had driven very well. I was bringing it to GA and about half way, the car cut off. I had a little below 1/4 tank of gas and was going to stop soon to fill up and take a pit stop so I thought, "Oh no, I've run out of gas!" After putting 2 gallons of gas in it, I tried to restart it but only get cranking over but no start. I figured it had to be more than just low on gas. I had it towed home thinking I could figure it out. I've done a good bit of troubleshooting and changing and now I'm stuck, please help. Currently unchanged... It cranks strong and just won't start. Yes, it has gas, about 1/3 tank..... 1. I checked the fuel pump relay. It's good. 2. Checked connections with a multi-meter and getting 12V to the pump. 3. I put 12V power to the original fuel pump and it only clicked, no whir. (Ah, bad fuel pump!) 4. Replaced said fuel pump. 5. Put 12V power to the new fuel pump, get a whir! Fuel Pump works! 6. Rechecked connections with Multi-meter and getting 12V at connection. 7. Still, when I try to start, I have a strong crank, good turnover, can't really hear the pump during this time, and NO START. 8. Checked the fuel pressure, no fuel pressure. Help is greatly appreciated. What else should I look into? Thanks in advance. |
