Why does vapor lock not occur in fuel injected engines?
Fuel-injected engines use a more volatile fuel that is easier to vaporize and mix with air for a much better combustion. So this new fuel has a lower boiling point. However, vapor lock rarely occurs in a modern engine because of the use of an in-tank, electric fuel pump.
What causes the fuel pump to not start?
The fuel pump is running and delivering normal pressure to the engine But, with all that working your engine still will not start. So, the most likely cause, is that the fuel injectors are probably not opening. The (PCM) uses the trigger signal from the crankshaft position sensor; and/or camshaft position sensor to pulse the injectors.
Why does my truck not start when I Turn on the ignition?
Suspect lack of spark. Many things will cause that on a modern truck with fuel injection and electronic ignition, as those two systems share some common data sources like the crankshaft position sensor and a camshaft position sensor.
How to troubleshoot a small gas engine that won’t start?
1 Put on the safety glasses. Remove the gas cap and check that there is gas in the fuel tank. 2 Look at the spark plug and check that the wire is securely plugged onto the plug. 3 Remove the air filter by unsnapping its box-like cover or removing the wing nut that holds it onto the carburetor.

Why does my car not start when I Turn on the gas?
If the lights and accessories work and the starter cranks, then it isn’t your battery. The reasons could be: The tank is so low on gas that the fuel pickup can’t deliver gas to the engine. This can happen when your car is parked on a steep incline.
Why does my car not start when I crank the engine?
If the engine doesn’t crank, or makes an unusual noise when cranking, you may have a starting system problem. The car’s security system may have made an error that disabled the fuel or ignition system, or the chip in the key may have failed.
Why does my car lag when I push the gas?
When driving through high-altitude places you may notice your engine lagging and struggling. This huffing and puffing may be more noticeable while driving uphill. This is due to the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes. Oxygen in the air-fuel mixture is crucial for this mix to burn efficiently and completely in the combustion chamber.
