I tried all day to start my 95 and today it runs great no problem at all. any suggestions? I think my fuel pump may be going out. Thanks

Your pump would either be out or not. Doubt it's that. Crank Sensor is a possibility.

Default crank problems

I just went thru a complete top end rebuilt with all new parts but I didn't change the sensors. the bottom one is crank sensor? So I probably will change them both. The car is starting fine but I am afraid it will stop on me while on one of my long trips. Otherwise, the car runs great... Thanks

Cool Fuel filter?

Does it sputter like it's even trying to fire? If so when did you last swap the fuel filter?

I just did mine and was shocked at how plugged it was - I could not even blow through it - my ti is noticeably happier on hills or passing now than before.

Default fuel filter

Thanks. I will change it out. But you are right, I sputter and didn't crank. But now its starting every time. Don't understand that. Its hard to take on a long trip until I'm sure its fixed.

Cool Yep

Those intermittent issues are the most annoying for sure. Yea I guess stick to many short trips around town until you sort it.
