Thread: No start a few days after LIM change

I changed the LIM gasket in this girls car for her and it ran fine after i realized i didn't hook up a fuel injector. I didn't put the little clips back on the fuel injectors where they clip to the rail but i didn't think i would need to. It will start and run off starting fluid and then magically have fuel pressure after running for about 30 seconds. Shut it off for a few hours and it won't start even after priming the pump ( no pressure again). Anyone have any suggestions? OH and i already changed the fuel filter.

i swapped the relay with another one and double checked all the injectors, still the same thing. This car is driving me nuts.

I was thinking maybe the fuel pump?

yeah. It will run if you spray starting fluid in it and it will magically get fuel pressure and run fine then if it sits for a few hours it won't start back up.

Pull the plugs, are they soaked with fuel?

The car isn't at my house anymore so i can't pull the plugs but i'll bet they aren't it doesn't have any fuel pressure until i start it with starting fluid and it runs for about 30 seconds.

It would start off starting fluid and then magically get fuel pressure and run fine no bogging or anything but then if it sat for a few hours then it wouldn't start again. Its fixed now she just took it to a mechanic. I'll have to ask her what was wrong with it.
