Saturn won't start like its starved for fuel.	Sign In

I CHANGEDD OUT THE MODULE FROM THE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP IN MY 1997 SATURN SL2. AS SOON AS i GOT EVERYTHING BOLTED BACK TOGETHER i STARTED THE CAR NO PROBLEM AND DROVE HOME FROM MY FRIENDS WHERE I DID THE WORK. THE CAR SAT FOR ONE DAY AND WHEN I WENT TO START IT IT WOULDN'T START LIKE ITS BEING STARVED FOR FUEL. BUT WHEN I PULLED THE IN-LINE FUEL FILTER AND TURNED THE KEY IT SPIT OUT ALL KINDS OF GAS. ANY IDEAS WHY MY SATURN WONT START? AND/OR WHAT TO DO?
I checked the fuel pump fuse, Fuse was good.
Pulled in-line fuel filter to see if new module was working. it was.
Disconnected the battery to hopefully reset the computer. That did not work

Fuel pressure must be up to spec not just volume,

SO HOW DO I GET THE PRESSURE UP? DOES THE SYSTEM NEED TO BE CHARGED OR SOMETHING?

You need to start using a fuel pressure gauge to determine if you have a fuel problem or not. You can't simply rely on visual for that.
