Question
I can crank the engine but it will not turn over.i have sprayed some fuel into the air filter and it starts momentaryly but goes off again. which then i assumed there was no fuel going through the line. Is there anything that might be wrong before i take it dealer. It is a base model. thanks
HI CHARLES;
WELL THATS THE BAD THING WITH THE NEW CARS , THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO W/O A COMPUTOR AS IT COULD BE A SIMPLE THING THAT IS WRONG BUT THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL , IT MIGHT BE THE MAP SENSOR OR THE FUEL PUMP OR A CLOGED FUEL LINE OR FROZEN LINE IF YOU ARE IN A COLD AREA. SO THERE IS NOT MUCH THAT YOU CAN DO W/ O THE COMPUTOR. . OK
