  • crank no start

    Ok first off the car is a 91 gl with an 88 b6 I was driving today the fuel gauge was just below a half a tank and the car quit so I pushed it into a gas station filled the car up still wouldn't start so I pulled the fuel filter off and rusty nasty fuel ran out of both ends so I put on a new filter and now I have good clear gas coming out of the filter hooked it back up and it started but wasn't running the best I only had a couple of miles to get home so I drove it home shut it off and now it won't start I have fuel going in and good pressure coming out of the return so I checked for spark I've got good spark still no start and every once in a while when I pull the hose off of the out port on the fuel filter it has a crazy amount of pressure built up so any suggestions?

    cars don't run too good on water and rust, keep cleaning till you get it all.
    Could have even got into the injector screens. Some gas stations dump
    crazy amounts of alcohol in the fuel to emulsify the water into the fuel
    This could really cause problems. You may have to clean the tank. Does
    the fuel look a little milky in between the rusty stuff?

      It's supposed to have pressure there. You should unhook the pump connector, then start it and let it die before unhooking any lines.

        go after your injectors, if your old filter had crap in both ends, your injectors have that crap too.
