Engine Rolls Over, Won't Start

[pbkid]

i know that it doesnt help all that much but its somewhere to start..

Look behind the (I think) drivers-side headlight. I believe there's a pinch-point there that eventually wears through the insulation and causes bizarre problems.

Try searching the board for more info.

Question: When was the last time the "Fuel Filter" was changed??? Sounds like your problem is fuel related and the engine is being starved of fuel. Try replacing the fuel filter and see if that helps. Fuel filters by nature are very fickle; they don't give you any advance warning, and when they're clogged, you're engine will crank but won't start.

If the above doesn't work replace your FPR (Fuel Pressure Regulator) then have the fuel pressure checked if it's below the recommend pressure replace the Fuel Pump. I've put 2 FP's in my VX in the last 5 years. The first was a generic and last was a Bosch for an Acura due to I couldn't find just the FP for a VX without buying the total sending unit and all. But the Acura with about the same 3.5L I could buy just the pump alone.

BTW..Both times my Fuel Pumps failed it was blowing fuses also..

Hi shadow !

Beside all suggested recommendations i'll also checke the entire electrical system,it seems that your VX DC voltage is "pumping" more electrical draw which cause fuses to blow.

Also checked all ground cables but focuse on the alternator,battery,ECU & fuses.

Did you dash lights blinked right before the 1rst time the VX got power off ?

Try to recall any "symptoms" the VX had before it went off,that can also help find the source of the problem

I had a similar problem. Primary ignition circuit fuse was blowing. Turned out that my wiring harness had been routed behind the radiator and thus after a short bit of spirited driving had melted all together. Follow whatever fuse is blowing, I'm sure that'll unveil your problem. I'm sure the wiring diagram is in one of the .pdf's we have on the site.
