Dear all,

My car was put in an airport parking for 4 days. I used it to go home from airport. After 20 miles of travel, my car was suddenly stopped. Right before it stopped, I felt that my passager rear side tire rolled over somthing. THe feeling liked rolled over a can of coke.

I checked
1. my tire right after the stop, they all were fine.
2. I tried to start the engine again, all indictor lights were on, the engine sound starting up. However, it was not.
3. I checked and put more gas for my car, so fuel was not a problem
4. My battery was new, just 2 months old. Therefore, it should not be a problem.


My friend told me that some cars like Ford has fuel cut off system to prevent deathly accident. I was wondering whether my galant 2000 has the system becuase my friend asked me to find out a botton to reset the fuel cut off system

Could you please help me

thanks

 

the safety feature it sounds like you're refering to is the roll over valve. driving over a coke can there is very little posibility that could have activated that particular safety device. look under the passenger side area and see if there is somthing cut or damaged. possibly wiring for the fuel pump is under there. fuel supply may be fine but fuel delivery is possibly youre problem. good luck

 

The motor will try to crank over..but wont start and idle, right?

 

Their are abunch of thangs that can give it a crank but no start. Timing belt broke, Bad crank sensor, Bad computer, or many other things. Have a shop look at it.
