Attak not starting

[rayone02]

Well my Attak will not start. Turn the key fuel pump cycles and red and yellow light come on like normal, Checked all fuses all good. Last trip fueled up last trip may have bad gas or plugs are fouled. Any opinions if I am on the right track ?

Any codes on the dash? I have one that had a code 12, needs a crank position sensor, also part of the stator windings.

 

[rayone02]

NO codes showing up.

It turns over, it just wont fire?? Is the pump actually pumping fuel?? Have you checked for spark??

 

[rayone02]

It turns over will not fire and fuel pump is working. Have not check spark yet I will saturday.

It could be a relay, try changing them around or exchange with someone else.

You are talking about relays on left side of footwell? I have spare I will try that. I did. Tried to.start the sled this morning tried to fire then nothing just crank over.

Yes try changing those around... it sounds like it not getting fuel to me. Start with the easy stuff 1st.

plugs fouled?

It might be flooded, try unplugging the fuel pump relay, then try to start it. If it sputters a couple of times, then plug the relay back in and try to start it. This worked for me more than once.

Quick video of attak.

With short cranks like that in your video I would say that is flooded.

It is flooding out. It fired then quit emediately. Crack the throttle and turn it over and see if it starts. If it starts it will not run on its own at idle. If this runs but not well until rpms are high then it is your TPS "throttle position sensor" It will think that your throttle is wide open and is dumping fuel too soon.

 

[rayone02]

I have tried that. Ran for a few seconds then stopped. What is the fix for this? Should I change plugs?

I just went through this same thing with my Apex, 7400 miles at the time. We shut down for a break and it would not re-fire. It acted like if you moved the throttle lever down and in a little it wanted to fire. Ended up bypassing the TORS and it fired right up, was good the rest of the day (several more stops and starts). Got her home and tore into it looking for any obvious signs of wiring issues but couldn't find anything. I did find that my pos wire on the battery was a tad loose, not to the point of being sloppy though. Put it all back together and wired the TORS back in and if fired right up. I still have no idea if it's fixed or not as we have no snow to test on. I guess I will have to wait until next year. I'm looking to get 10K on the clock next year!
I had put in a new fuel pump relay the first time it acted up.(I was carrying it)
I am going to go back to stock plugs too. It seems that the ones who changed to the crk10's are having issues.

Good luck in fixing your sled, keep us posted if you find anything specific.
