So been having problems with my 94 Celica GT starting up. Sometimes it will start up, but just has a long crank time. Other times it cranks and nothing. I took it in to the shop for a free estimate and they checked it, saying the fuel pressure was low and a new fuel pump would fix the problem. Instead of paying the ridiclous prices, went and installed a new pump at home. Car started back up on the second try and then on the first try the next time. Now it's back to it's original problem of not starting or taking quite a few tries.
Just wondering what else could possibly be causing this? |

Any suggestions?
Autozone didn't have the fuel filter so I have to call around tomorrow to find one. Can a fuel filter be clogged enough that the car won't start up? Tried searching through old threads with similar problems but can't find any situation that matches what's going on exactly. Puzzled that the car wouldn't start at all, then after a day or two of sitting, be able to start up after a couple tries, and then back to not starting at all. |
