If the engine still doesn’t seem like it wants to start, probably fuel is getting into the cylinders and your problems lies somewhere else. However, if the engine runs momentarily and dies, then the problem is that fuel is not getting to the cylinders. Check for a clogged fuel filter, or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

Why does my truck not start in flood mode?
In flood mode, it reduces or cuts the fuel from the injectors. It gets flooded from a bad regulator because the gas in the fuel rail is at 55 PSI pressure…when you shut the truck down, that seeps into the vacuum line, which goes into the intake, which goes into the cylinders.
Can a bad throttle body cause an engine to die?
A not calibrated throttle body can also cause this. You can calibrate the throttle body with most diagnostic scanners. The throttle body can affect the RPM the other way also. It can cause the RPM to be so low at idle so that the engine will die.
Can a bad throttle body cause high RPM idle?
High RPM Idle The throttle body controls the engine’s idle to make sure it is always holding a steady RPM. If there is a problem with the throttle body, it may cause the be way too high. A not calibrated throttle body can also cause this.
What does the gas pedal do to the throttle body?
The throttle body incorporates a flat valve which is referred to as “butterfly” and this valve is responsible for controlling the amount of air entering the engine. However, the gas pedal is used to control the angle of the butterfly valve which regulates the amount of air entering the engine.

What happens when the throttle body goes bad?
Nowadays there is an electric system that’s far more efficient than the old ways but it can still have issues. When a TPS goes bad, then the car’s throttle body won’t function properly.

Why does my car not start when I take my foot off the gas?
The fuel injectors work at any RPM, so a choke is not necessary. The computer simply feeds a little extra gas through the fuel injectors to start the engine. On the old carburetor engines, you pressed the gas pedal before starting to set the choke position and give a squirt of fuel into the engine via the accelerator pump.
Why does my car stall when I let off the gas?
When you accelerate, the engine RPM increases, and as you let off the gas, the RPM slowly returns to the normal idling speed with the help of the idle air control valve. When the engine RPM drops below the normal range of about ~800 RPM, this often times will cause the engine to stall indicating a dirty or faulty idle air control valve.

Why does my fuel pump not turn on?
Well getting to start by adding fuel to the throttle body is not going to turn on some special switch that will send a signal to the pump and injectors. I’m sure you probably just have a bad fuel pump that doesn’t have enough pressure or volume to start the truck, but at running speed can keep up.
Why does my Car Crank but won’t start?
Instead of a throttle cable to the throttle body, the throttle body is electronically controlled by the computer. And the idle is controlled by the computer. Sometimes cleaning these electronic throttle body’s will fix an idle problem, and other times the throttle body requires replacement. Tester 2 Likes George_San_Jose1

What causes a bad throttle body cause your car to not start?
The only way a TPS will cause a no-start is if the TPS is busted/stuck, and the TPS is telling the computer that you’ve floored the gas. The computer won’t pulse the injectors, because when you floor the gas (WideOpenThrottle) and crank the engine, the computer goes into “clear flood mode”. What causes a bad throttle body?
Can a throttle position sensor stop a car from starting?
Similarly, can a throttle position sensor stop a car from starting? The only way a TPS will cause a no-start is if the TPS is busted/stuck, and the TPS is telling the computer that you’ve floored the gas.
