Been a while and I had forgotten about this thread and I feel I should bring it to a close. I have since gotten the car to run it turns out one of the grounds for the fuel pump wasn't making a good connection. The car definitely gave me the run around for such a small issue luckily I didn’t...
The fuel pressure regulator is in the fuel filter. Which I changed out. I’m checking now for any inconsistencies in the lies and seeing if I can hook up the fuel pressure gauge in various places to check what’s going on
It won’t run at a steady rpm. If I let it sit after turning it on with sputter out. If I tap the gas I can get it to jump rpms a bit and if I keep tapping the gas lightly the rpm will keep jumping although it doesn’t seem to go above 5k rpms. Immediately after I let off the gas pedal or I give...
Ok so it’s been a while and I’ve gotten nowhere. The fuel pump is working and the filter is changed. It still reads 12psi. I can crank the car and get it to rev if I lightly tap on the gas but immediately when I stop the car sputters and dies. I’ve gone through and checked the ground to make...
Update: I got a fuel pressure gauge and I have a whole 11 psi which is what they call bad. So it sounds like a fuel pump with 57k miles on it has gone bad but then again it’s an 18 year old pump. I’ll be taking the fuel system out and replacing as much as I can. I’ll keep you guys updated. Thank...
After some fiddling around I’ve managed to keep it alive by barely tapping the gas when it’s about to cut off then I’m able to get another 2 seconds out of it so now I’m really thinking it’s the fuel pump
I checked that but if it was the problem I should be able to get some kind of an idle out of it right? Right now without fail every time I start it( I’ve done this many times) it’s runs for two seconds then slowly dies off. I’m guess the fuel pressure is the problem so I’m waiting on my fuel...
I already have my hotel booked. I went to bowling green not long ago to see the museum and drive a c7 after that they told me about the caravan and I was sold from there
Sorry about not introducing myself. Not familiar with this site just yet.
Update: I went and got a new battery - didn’t work
I checked the bcm and ecm and they are fine
My ignition switch is working fine and if I remember correctly cats are the security system which I believe I’m not having...
Hi everyone I’m a new here and I’ve had my c5 for about a year now and I’ve loved every second I didn’t have to work on it. It only has 57k miles on it but the owners before me did not take care of it at all unfortunately so she’s under my care. I look forward to the adventure that this car will...
I went to turn my car on and it runs great for about 1-2 seconds then it immediately kills itself and shuts the engine down. I have no engine codes, no security issues, battery is at 100% and no steering column lock.
