CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING BUT STARTS RIGHT BACKUP CODE

I assume the engine uses timing belts and if it does and it has broken that would also cause the trouble but it will cost a lot more to fix that than other possible issues. This might indicate a pretty serious problem. You also stated you hear some not so ordinary noises when you crank the engine. If the engine still doesn’t fire up then the ignition system is suspect. If it does then a fuel delivery problem is most likely causing the trouble. One easy trick you can do is spray a small amount of starter fluid into the intake of the engine and see if the engine fires up then. There could also be a problem with the fuel system or the ignition system.

There should be a code set in the ECU if that is the case. A faulty crank sensor would be a good suspect in that case. Right now, everything rides on my car working so any help is appreciated.įrom what you stated about the trouble it sounds like the engine is cranking ok when you try to start it but it won’t fire up. Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this that knows a bit more about cars than I do.

Was so excited too because I just found a replacement for my passenger window regulator. Also, I have had the problem of smelling gas inside the car when I fill it up (fuel filter?) I know that the Lanos did have a recall over the crankshaft sensor, so could that be it? I just don’t have a lot of money to spend on random parts that won’t fix it nor (unless I absolutely have to) go to a mechanic since I live with one, just need the part(s). I was told the oil valve gasket(?) was leaking, but I checked it everytime before I drove it and it did have oil in the car. Like the engine can’t get that kick to start up.

I then tried to start it back up and it won’t start now. The power didn’t go out though like from the battery. I drove it earlier to work and back and even an extra stop and didn’t even could tell that there was something wrong. Today, I was driving my car home and it just died with no warning or anything. I own a 2001 Daewoo Lanos S which has about 96k miles.
