Bossie Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Cranking longer than normal before it starts. But after a few stops and abnormal crank-starts during the day, it gets to a point where cranking carries on without any start! So when it gets to a point that I realise she won't start, I connect jumper leads to the battery, and everytime I follow this process, she starts, although the battery is still strong enough to do the trick. (the jump start is to prevent battery crank flat) Although I suspect the problem to be in the fuel rail (sensor) or (pressure regulator) or fuel pump, I have a "dumb" question to ask? I know very little of electronics but, can it be that the jumper leads/batteries "stronger combination boost", cause either of these rail components to come to the party? I did this exercise succesfull on numerous occasions (I'm actually driving around with the jumpers in the trunk specifically for this occasional bail-outs)...and it worked everytime!! Anyone more normal than me to advise me plse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 100% battery. Jumper cables will not make a difference to fuel system. Replace the battery. Check alternator, it may not be charging battery correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
