OK so everything is cherry untill my starter gave out. I had an extra starter so i removed my starter and replaced it with a new one. This was all done last wensday. so i turned it on and it fired up like normal nothing wrong with it. I even drove it around a bit, great. I left wensday after noon to a Choir Fest that took place for 4 days. When i return on monday morning i tried to fire her up but nothing! all it does now is turn over and over. Something like this happen before and it had to do with my ignition wiring but i fixed it. So my 1st thought was to check that and it fine. I even check to see if it was sparking and it is. My only thought is my fuel pump? But i put quick start into my throttle body and it wouldnt start up with that. Im thought i knew my car back and fourth but im at awe right now.. i have no idea what could be wrong. Is there any plug i might have loosen while changing my starter? HELPPP PLEASEE i need a ride to school!! LOL
 
Im having the same issue w/ mine... im actually going to change out my ignition coil and then check the voltage on my fuel pump!! I can hear the fuel pump winding intermittently, but honestly try a different started and work your way back from there!!

Sorry if im not much help! :( not a big mechanic geek.
 
seen this alot lately , most people check to see if fuel is coming out of the injectors and then I heard that it could be the CAS cam angle sensor
 
how do i check it if fuel comes out of my injectors? and also where is the CAS cam angle sensor located at? Also how would i check the voltage of my fuel pump? its a evo IX fuel pump so i dont know why it would go out so fast? Thanks for the help, hoping i get more feedback
 
Pull your plugs and smell for fuel. Do they look wet? Are you getting spark on all four wires? How old is you CAS? Pull your fuel return line and attach a hose to it and make sure you are getting a steady flow. Could be a million things but that will narrow it down a bit. Hope that helps
 
Update!! as much as i hate my car giving me problems i love when i find out whats wrong with it! hehe. So i took the advice to look into my injectors and i could not confirm that fuel was coming out. So i removed my back seat to check out my wiring and lo and behold look what i found!

my wiring somehow short circuited and got toasted. now do these wire look stock? i went to the junk yard to see some eclispes but all i found were the 420a motors type. Im guessing they have different wiring, and also would you guys think that this may have damaged my fuel pump as well?
