Chevy Lumina Starting Failure

Unread post by Donald » Sun Jun 30, 2013 12:14 pm

1998 Chevrolet Lumina--began by starting for a second or two then dying, would take several attempts to keep car running--runs fine otherwise. Now will not start at all. Battery/alternator/starter all check okay. ??

if you don't have a security problem you may want to check start up fuel pressure.

I would next pull a spark plug after attempting to crank to see if it's dry, meaning no fuel. I'd also look for major vacuum leaks. I'd also do a Google search on your subject for this post. Sometimes I get a direct hit on my problem when I do this.
