Ok so I have had my marauder put up for a whial cause quite frankly I didn't have the money to fix it the way I wanted to but now I do have the money and I go to start the car and it won't start it'll turn over like its trying to start but it won't fully crank.. before I let it sit for about 6 months it has a miss in one of the cylinders. But when I plug it in it doesn't pull no codes.. I changed all the spark plugs.. I thought it was the fuel pump so I dropped the tank and changed the pump and pump filter as well as the fuel filter and still nothing... and I can't get it to run for it to even pull any codes.. I'm honestly lost.. any help would be much appreciated...

Yes I hear it now .. I'm definitely getting fuel cause I checked the valve on the fuel rail and fuel is coming out just fine

today's fuel has a shelf life of 2-3 months max..did you use a stabilizer when you parked it? fuel could be crap and wont fire, or is not helping matters.
 
It cranks but won't start and the battery is brand new.. it's the oddest thing.. it's like it isn't getting fuel but everything I've checked says it is.. the only thing with the fuel that is left to change is the fuel itself cause it's been sitting for a whial.. but I would think it would start atleast.. run like cheap but start..

no-start

Try holding your foot to the floor on the gas pedal. This is called "clear flood mode". Hope it helps. What does the gas smell like?
 
Even with old gas it should fire up....it may run a little rough, and maybe ping under WOT...but it should run.
I drained 3+ year old gas out of my Marauder's tank and dumped it into my 3.sl0w Ranger.
Didn't notice ANY difference in how the Ranger started and ran.
In fact the old gas didn't even smell stale/like varnish.

Hey Chris, make sure the key is correct. With key ON does the light on top of the dash stay ON or flash rapidly? I can come check it out this weekend if you need me there.
 
Crank sensor?


BTW, pushing the schrader valve in accomplishes zero. There is a minimum pressure needed to start the car and just a single pound of pressure will make it spray out.
