Signs of Faulty Components
Before attempting any diagnostics, ensure the vehicle is not out of fuel, and there truly is a faulty component.
• Engine cranks over but will not start.
• No fuel is reaching the filter or engine itself
• Fuel filter is empty, most likely a bad fuel pump.
• Fuel level on the instrument panel is inaccurate with the level in the tank, most likely a bad sending unit (See
Electrical).
