Hi All,


So yesterday I went to go start my 09 JCW, started right up. After about 30 seconds or so the car stalled. Went to restart it and it just cranks.


The car isn't throwing any codes. I changed the spark plugs months ago. I checked the fuse for it and it was fine.


Has anyone else experienced this? A few people have been telling me that it is the High Pressure fuel pump. Could it also maybe be a coil pack? Any ideas on a proper diagnosis?


Thanks!

 

almost rare for all four packs to go out at the same time. I would suggest getting a quick start spray and apply it at the inlet (elbow) right before it goes to the throttle body. if the car starts with that spray, then it is fuel related. HPFP is a known issue, so this will bring you closer to pin point the culprit.

 

I get conflicting messages from this post.

1) Title says "Won't turn over." That means the engine does not turn/rotate/crank.
2) Post says it turns over (rotates/cranks) when the starter is engaged, but doesn't start.

Which is it?

I agree that shooting some starting fluid into the intake is a way to test for fuel delivery. Given the symptoms , if #2 above is accurate, it's probably fuel.

You can also check for fuel pressure, and if none is in the fuel line, there's your answer.

 

Sorry for the confusion. Your #2 is the current situation I'm having.


Thanks for your help!

 

i tried using starter fluid, motor cranked but didnt start. Any ideas?

 

Take the spark plugs out and use a jumper cable to see if you have spark.

 

The first thing I would do would be to check the on board diagnostics. Has it thrown any codes?

 

Nope, no codes.

 

Were you able to get this figured out?
