Hello, thanks for taking time on this post.
So a few days ago after getting stuck in traffic I pulled into a store and when I came back out the car would not start. Actually, the engine cranked and turned over but immediately died. I tried a couple more starts and the response became less and less, eventually no turn over, only crank. A few months ago I changed my CPS after some probs, and this situation right here seemed different. As well I went back to the car later that night and the next morning and it would not start.
So I tow it to a shop and eventually they tell me it’s the “ignition module“, the DIC and I go ahead and have them change it because my employers are worried about me. I pay a lot and drive it for two days and now I’m back in the exact same boat, my car won’t start at a store where I stopped. No stuck in traffic this time. I did try to listen for the fuel pump as I was cranking but there was a lot of noise and I was pretty frustrated. Honestly tho, I didn’t hear it.
So for those w loads more experience and knowledge than me does fuel pump sound like the right direction? Other thoughts? And finally is there a good reason the shop would have misdiagnosed the DIC as the prob? From the looking I’ve done it’s not a conclusion I would have drawn. Im afraid now they may have switched out a perfectly working part for an overpriced newer one. :-/ and how do I handle that.
