Sho Won't Start!

Post your V8 3.4 technical questions related to the Engine & Drivetrain components of the S.H.O. here.

Well two nights ago it drove fine except for the usual slight knocking which seems to be coming from the TC.

Tonight I go to start it, cranks fine, but no start

All fuses are good, no codes showing up. I tried resetting my computer and I did check the fuel pump shut off switch also. My fuel pump does prime itself when I turn the key on.

Anyone have any ideas?

This car is starting to make me mad

Thanks

Your fuel pump might be priming itself, but did you check how much fuel pressure you are getting?

Pump is priming but absolutely NO pressure at the schrader valve on the fuel rail.

Do you think it could be the pump or something else causing this?

Check your fuel filter and then if that does not work, replace your pump....
