like late last night started it up to move off crosswalk clear by 2 feet this morning turn key to start it makes sound like this pppfftttttttttt then sounds like out of gas hard crnk but will not start.

SO i call up my mechanick to come to my home and get me fixed.

Meanwhile i search for possible causes ........fuel pump not enough pressure, The fuse to fuel pump.

Water in lines. Fuel filter clogged.

So one post i read said turn key to on position wait 10 secs then try.

NO good so i try again pumping the gas pedal bam it starts :confused:

Aint going no where till we replace fuel filter and clean out throttel valve body and lubricate the butterfly'

My Man Tony is tied up taking care of another be about an hour or more,

wasnt alt was the pulley bearings then the new one blew yaer later what a jo local pep boys was

went to other one guy turns the pulley in hands says yes it's blown

WEll sems the problem was this grabge gas we use today and fridgid cold weather causing gas line clog or too much water in lines from driving on almost empty too much

Tony came with that thingy too check for trouble codes ...no codes ay all everything is fine.

SO now once amonth will but the top grade STP gas system cleaner and lubricant cost was huge $14.60

but that 16 oz bottel and half tank of premimum gas wow my car is like taking off too quick idle RPM is stronger

love my lil caliber hardly any real mechanical trouble except the pulley of the alternator.

Thats was costly new alt $185 $85 to mechanic for installing it with my help to hold in place while he set the long bolts in place .
