any ideas on why it wont start?
like a bad starter, battery, fuel pump, etc?
It's most definitely not the starter or the battery, since the car starts and cranks but it dies when it can't catch an idle state on a hot engine. I've considered the fuel pump but the symptoms don't exactly line up with what I'm observing and evidence throughout the engine and fuel lines says otherwise. I'm pretty sure the fuel pump would also throw an error code and I don't have any of those.
This has been happening for a couple weeks now, but feels longer than that for everything my dad and I have done so far:
- cleaned EGR valve and replaced gasket, didn't work
- bought a used EGR valve, no change
- unplugged IAC sensor, minimal change
- unplugged TB sensor, very bad don't do this
- unplugged MAF sensor, seemed to work well until it was plugged it back in
- replaced MAF sensor with new one, lot of improvement and seems to have fixed rough idling and cold engine starts, but still won't idle on a hot engine startup
- cleaned IAC valve and port, almost seemed to work but apparently didn't
- attempted to clean the TB sensor but I can't get it off without completely dismantling one of the radiator hoses, plus it likely is not the problem and also throws error codes if I tamper with it
It was just suggested to me on GM Forum that I can try replacing the crankshaft position sensor and/or test/replace the ignition control module. Probably not the smartest idea but I'm driving the car all day today for school and work. So far, it has been okay and hasn't even hesitated yet.
wait your car from 08 has over 100k miles? what the forget
mine doesnt even have 60k
My dad's Versa is a 2012 and has nearly 80k iirc. It had like 17k when he got it.
