Won't start
Car cranks but does not fire. Full of gas. :-)
Flashing 'Check Engine' light indicates no codes. Is this a bad ECU? How do I check? Daughter stranded. Thanks

Fuses good
All fuses under dash and under hood checked good. Smells of gas when cranking, so I'm thinking fuel pump is OK.
If the ECU was bad, would I get the flashing 'check engine' light? The car drove fine to parking lot at work, did not start after work. I went to check it, it did not start. When ignition turned on, all idiot lights stayed lit. I checked codes at pin 2 behind kick plate, constant flashing on indicator. Then car started. I removed blue wire and car started 4 more times and ran fine. When my daughter went to pick it up, it would not start and has not started again since. Thanks guys. Terry

I have a similar problem, after swithching 2 injectors with one another, the car won't start, and it smelles like fuel, almost started sometimes, now won't even try to start. Is there a way to check the fuel filter? Is it ok to bypass it for trying? Sorry for jumping into the thread.

It was the fuel pump.
I first tried the fuel pump relay, because it is sooo much cheaper, but it turned out being the fuel pump.. I am disappointed that there is no code to indicate that.
