Checked fuel pump relay, it is ok, I did notice the Check Engine Light and Service Engine Soon lights do not come on when turning key to accessory, or run position. Neither light comes on while cranking. Engine turns over normally but does not even try to start. Could the ECU have gone bad...

Well, I am using original Pats key, But now it doesnt start at all. I did notice when it did shut down and try to start the fuel pump does not turn on. I hooked up a engine scanner and it displays "Communication Error" Could the ECU have gone bad that fast? Thanks Ervbassin

I have a 98 Taurus SHO 3.4L V8. Just the other day I was driiving like normal, when all of sudden it just shut down. Power to all accessories but engine just quit, no spit no sputter. Pulled to side of road. Would not start up. Waited about 15 minutes and it starts like nothing wrong. So I go...

First, I want to thank everyone for your suggestions, and advise. It was the dreaded Security Passlock system. went to Grand Am forum and learned about it. Security light flashing, just crank motor over, leave in on position for at least 10 minutes and return key to off. Then start...

Would a bad crankshaft sensor cause these symptoms??? And how would I check it without replacing with new? Thanks Erv

I just went out to try to start again. It did the exact same thing. Started ran for about 2 to 4 seconds and completely quit. Like no spark. Shut key off, and then would only crank with no fire. Eddie, it has IDI ignition system. Integrated Direct Ignition. No plug wires. Runs on 2...

Already checked fuel cut off switch. When it started, ran for 3 to 5 seconds then shut down like right now. didn`t spit or act like running out of gas. More like lost spark. But can`t check if getting spark because of the type of ignition, without special tools, and pulling top of motor off.

My daughters 98 grand am 2.4 quad 4 automatic, will not start. She ditched the car about a week ago, but it did start up until last night. I have replaced the lower control arm, inner tie rod, and front sway bar links. I went to garage to move the car, turned on ignition, started car, all went...

Thanks guys for your ideas. Just went out to check. Truck has been sitting for 2 days. Turned key to accessory to make sure radio and other things were off. Turned key to "on" to see if I could hear the fuel pump. Pump ran for about 2-3 seconds and shut off. Turned key to off, then tried to...

I have had this happen a few times now. From a cold start, Crank engine, turns over normal, but doesn`t start. Turn ignition fully off, and crank engine at 3 to 5 second intervals several times. Then suddenly it cranks and fires right up and runs like normal. Doesn`t act like it was flooded or...

I gave mine away last summer when cleaning out garage, along with a craftsman timing gun, didn`t think I would need them anymore. :angry: guess I`ll have to find a buddy with one. Thanks.

Thanks Todd, that sounds logical, will pull head off this weekend if I can`t figure out any other causes. Am trying to Not spend too much to get this car running. Interior is clean and body has no rust. :wacko::unsure: Going to try swapping 3 and 4 injectors with 1 and 2 and see what happens...
