[s-cars] Pauls' problem (with car)

[Calvin & Diana Craig]

Actually, the FPR will allow you to sit there and crank and crank and crank
because it won't hold pressure for any time at all.  I had to personally
crank my car for 30 seconds or more to get the thing to fire up.  I
diagnosed it with a Fuel Pressure Gauge.

HEY ALL,

Me I don't see the FPR as the problem.  About all the
FPR can do when it fails is run the car with no
pressure control at all, meaning they run really rich.
He'd know that. The cat would make a big stink and I
think the car would stumble.

The CPS is failing when the car doesn't want to start
but cranks fine. You run an errand, spend 40 minutes
in Home Depot and come out to a car that cranks but
won't run.  You call for a ride and when the ride
finally gets there it will run.

Drive the car to work and leave it parked for 8 hours
and you'll never know you have the CPS problem till
Saturday when you go to Home Depot.  That is what
happened to my brothers S6.  It only happens on the
weekends he told me.

You will get a fault code but probably NOT a check
engine light with a CPS problem.

The only pain replacing it besides cramped quarters is
 pulling the t-belt off and on the cam pulley.  The
gear must come off to access the CPS.

Paul, look for codes.

SJM site tells how to pull codes with a piece of wire
at the contacts in the fuse box.
