Default Wont crank.

Got gas then it would not crank. Good juice just no crank.

Will it crank with no fuel pressure. IE if I an having pump controller issues?

Any other suggestions? Stuck in Costco parking lot!!

What do you mean by 'good juice just no crank'?

Just because a battery will turn on lights inside the cabin, doesn't mean it will turn over a motor. Does the starter/motor make any noise at all?

If you have all lights and a good loud horn the battery will be able to turn over the engine.

I'm getting nothing from the starter at all.

No, it wont. Do you understand what kind of amps a start pulls? FAR FAR FAR more than a horn and interior lights or even headlights.

If you get no noises at all, i would suspect your starter solenoid has gone out.

Trust me the battery is fine. My main question is is there any thing like no fuel pressure that will keep the engine from cranking?

Funny thing is that it still says low fuel even though gas gauge is reading full.

Yeah, that's odd.

I don't know if there is a starter kill for low fuel rail pressure.

I wouldn't think so...but I've seen weirder things.


Can you try disconnecting the battery for a couple minutes to try and clear any weird readings?
