I just saw this after going through 2 fuel pump relays last week.
Does anyone know what's causing this?
Car cranks but does not start.

Thanks

 

I don't think the wires and/or connector is melted. The brown stuff on the wiring harness and the white residue on that component in the fuse box is dielectric grease.

 

Yeah, you're right. But I'm still having trouble with it starting.
I was driving it yesterday, but today it won't start.
I have 3 main relays so I know that's not it.
I changed the fuel pump 2 weeks ago and that didn't seem to make a difference.

Where is the fuel filter on this car?

 

Is this a starter issue? A mechanic recommended I change it.
Please help!

 

I just put in a brand new starter and that didn't solve anything.

 

Still having problems starting. I drove the car around yesterday, but today would not start. Same symptoms as before. No check engine, nothing.

 

Car not starting today again. Could this be bad ICM?

 

UPDATE:
Today it had trouble starting and finally the check engine light came on.
It did start eventually after hours and many cranks. I took the car to the shop and we got codes p1362 and p1367.
We reset it so the check engine light is off now.

I looked up the codes on google and got TDC sensors.
Anyone know what's going on?

 

Solved. Timing belt had slipped two teeth, so I changed it with the water pump and did the gaskets too while I was at it. The Shark is back!

 

Great job on finding the problem! I'll keep this in mind if it ever happens to me. How many miles were on the old belt?

 

Thanks, I changed the belt at about 137,500. This car is actually from Pittsburgh originally. Now, it's in California. It runs so much better after that timing belt / water pump change.

 

Mine looks identical to that. It ain't melted no worries

And good job on the persistence bud... Most ppl would have given up. You found it quickly too :-)

 

I go to start the car engine turns over but shuts off in 7sec?

 

I checked,fuel pump,fuses,battery, sparks plugs,not the main rely BC it turns over?

 

runs for 7 secs then dies? sounds like fuel starvation maybe.. what are the rpms doing for those 7 secs... normal? fluctuating?

why did you burn through two fuel pump relays? did you determine the answer? cause it sounds like there is still a fuel system issue. could be something as stupid as a fuel filter.. you gotta look at all the little nuances. do not think not to look somewhere, check everything fuel related... including the fuel pressure regulator.

it sounds like the car builds enough fuel pressure to run 7 secs and then cannot supply enough to keep running..

if you get the car to start and then rev the car.. does it dies sooner? this would lead me to believe its fuel starvation as the motor has x amount of fuel and then cannot keep up
