Regal 96 3800 40K miles. Will not start hot.

 

more info please.


does in shut off after running and not start till it is cold? when doe it do this?

 

Sounds like a sensor to me but, like Sam said, more info please and the more specific, the better.

 

After it is run at operating temp and shut down it will not start unless it has cooled down to ambient temp.It turns over and fiers but will not catch. Battery is good and plenty of gas.

 

check for spark in the front 3 cylinders. should be blue. if you have an extra plug layin around, even a lawn mower plug or sumthing. then you dont have to take the plugs out to check. just pull the wires and put the extra in the wire, and have someone turn the key.





if you have good spark, then check the fuel pressure with a gauge at the rail.

 

Will do! Thanks

 

i forgot to mention that you will hold the plug to the block, while someone turns the key. it has to be grounded to get spark.

 

yes i know have some experience with auto repair but being 71 yrs old i have not kept up with all these new fangeld eng controls.

 

ok sorry, no offense meant by that, i just wanted to toss it out there so you didnt get a false result.





cheers,


Wes
