starting problems?????

[Dark DSM]

Ok, i am confused as all hell right now, the starter is fine, the ignition is fine, but before my trans blew my car would literally start in less then after turning the key, no problems. But after the new trans went in, in which i had absoutly no problems switching transmissions, my car would take approx. 4 seconds after the starter engaged to start the engine, now i cant figure out what the hell it is. I really want to say it has something to do with thte fuel (i.e. pump, or injectors,.....not sure). If anyone has any idea please reply or email me at [email protected] , car is a 98 talon ESI N/T. thanks.

if you think its a fuel problem. turn the key to the run position. go to the fuel rail and where you would put a fuel pressure tester. push down on that valve with a pocket screw driver. if it squirts you have fuel pressure. are all of your connections from the battery cables to the starter cables tight. to the alternator. is your battery good. Hopefully that helps alittle. Let me know how you make out.

yeh all cables are tight, no problem and everything is good with the alt. ill check the pressure, thanks, if you have any other ideas let me know.

i had a problem like that... only my car would refuse to rollover a couple times... what it ended up being was the fuel pump relay.... from what i hear that is a common problem getting the relay to switch on... you might try that becuase its cheap, and if it doesnt work at least you know thats not the problem

Boy do i feel like an ass, I actually found the problem. When i replaced the trans there was one sensor i didnt plug in and couldnt see it all this time, THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. But hey when you do replace shit like that in your engine make sure EVERYTHING is plugged in. HEH!

im havin that problem right now. im tryin to find out if anyone knows what might be going on with my car. it was just rebuilt and we just replaced the crank sensor and 'crank disk?' but my car does not start on the first try, it will start and cut right the hell off. and anytime i start to stop my car cuts off, so as u can imagine, everytime i need to stop i have to sit there for like 2 minutes tryin to get it to start. does anybody know what might be the problem. could it be i need to reflash the ecu, how would i do this, or would it be somethin else
