This is kind of a never ending story of the car that will start but not run.
So far I have put in a new battery, charged to full cap. 14.4 volts, checked
All Fuses under dash and under hood Max fuses. Checked power to underhood
fuses w key off 4-6 volts [veries] Then with the ignition in the run
position - 14 volts. to all fuses. Same story - the engine will crank,
start, run for about 2-4 seconds then die like it was shut off. I can
hear the fuel pump kick in when I turn the key on, sounds like it always
did. I assume its getting fuel and spark as it starts for a brief run over
and over again. Just won't stay running so I guess a code reader will be not
much help at this point. but I do have a good didgital multimeter. Now i'm
wondering what could be the problem. Ignition module? coils?
Oh yeah: almost forgot, The engine will stumble some at 45-50mph under light
load, has been doing that for about 11,000 miles now. Letting up and kicking
down cures that temp anyway. Could be related? Any test procedures
anybody knows of that can be done ON the car? Don't really want to start
replacing parts at random. Got more time than money so testing is not a
problem.
Thanks for the previous replys, Tom A |

You say that it will start but not run, then you say it stumbles at 45-50
mph. If it will not run how do you drive it ?? |

Looks like there is a hole in the hoses leading petrol into the
machine somewhere.
Sometimes the pipes are full but sometimes you will be getting nothing
but air.
The rubber hoses may be rotten and the hole may not always be open.
It can be hard to find such a problem. >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |

I had this kind of problem.
Taking it into the garage over and over.
Different garages check pretty much everything.
At least that is what I paid for after being towed several times when
the car stopped at irregular basis.
I once stopped intentionally in nice weather and went outside to look
at the scenary and smelled petrol and looked at the engine.
Sure enough some had been pouring out from a small rotten hose.
I went to the nearest garage and had that hose replaced.
The petrol use went down by 1/3 immediately.
This was in a 4 year old car and the rotten hose had been put there by
a bad mechanic in a garage but nobody of the experts looking at it
later noticed anything. >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |

Well Mike, the short answer is - You Don't. Of course I was talking about
the time when it WAS running up till the time it won't. Thats now. Yes it
will start but will not continue to run longer than a few seconds. When it
was running it would "jiggle"? at a light load like up a mild incline. I
have recently been told that this may me more to do with the transmission
than the engine. Something to do with the lockup converter slipping or the
like. I was told by a shop to put an additive in the trany to help that.
They say they found that information in the "book of common problems" I
wouldn't mind having one of those books. Anyway thats more information
than you wanted to hear -see? but thanks for the reply. Tom A >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |

Unless you want to find out just how easy it is to blow out the gas tank
I wouldn't advise using air to pressurize the tank/lines.
Now that you have done some testing and discovered that it doesn't
matter if you hold the key, I would start by checking the fuel pressure,
Hook up the gauge, turn on the key and see what you have. Also run a
flow test on it.
When was the last time the filter was changed?

Well it looks like I'm off to northern tool to buy a fuel pressure testing
kit. And as far as the filter- do you mean the one in the tank? If so it
has not been changed by me, I bought the car with 63,000 miles on it. Now
has 105,000 mi on it. I had to replace the gaskets in the plastic intake
plenum and all the injector gaskets while I was at it. All plug wires and
plugs I changed about 10,000 miles ago, And I changed out all the hoses on
top of the engine too at the same time. I have never done a flow test but
I'm guessing the method comes with the test kit. If not I now have a
chilton book for this car. [better than nothing]. Actually I can't
rember running accross a fuel filter in that process. So I guess the short
answer is I never changed any filter. Tommorrow is Sunday, hope Northern
Tool is open. Thanks Again, Tom A >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |

Yeah, Gone are the days when the only choice in cars was the Big 3. I
think another reason for GM's problems is they keep thinking ppl want 600
hp instead of 75 MPG. Of course the govenment and the Bushes wouldn't care
for that 75MPG idea either. Well got to go, TATA, Tom A. >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |

Greetings, Yeah, i'm going to check fuel pressure tommorrow when I get a
test kit.
I started it with the throttle at different positions, idle, 1/4, 1/2, full.
All with the same results, Starts, runs 2-3 seconds, dies. Although when
done at full throttle it has a little more urgency but dies just the same.
Also tried turning the key off and on repeatedly to make the fuel pump come
on several times before trying to start it. - no change. BTW I was told
the engine needs to run to use an OB11 to diaganose it. Did I
misunderstand? Thanks for the reply, Tom A >> Stay informed about: Back Again Wtih the 1995 lesabre Starts- wont Run. |
