Can a fuel pressure sensor cause a no start?
If you have a bad fuel rail pressure sensor, the ECU won’t send the right amount of fuel to the engine. This will make it difficult to start your vehicle. When this problem first occurs, it will probably take a couple attempts cranking the engine before it starts. Eventually, the engine won’t start at all.
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.
What happens if your fuel pressure sensor is faulty?
If you try to accelerate, your engine will not have an efficient fuel supply, resulting in poor acceleration. Not only that, if the fuel pressure sensor is faulty, it may output too little information to the ECU, which in turn may increase the amount of fuel being fed into the engine.
Where is the pressure sensor on a diesel engine?
All common rail engines have a pressure sensor in the high pressure rail. If this sensor is showing the proper amount of pressure, you can be assured there is pressure in the rail. But you have to ask, “Is this pressure air, combustible fuel or some other liquid?”
How can I Check my fuel rail pressure sensor?
Connect the diagnostic scanner and check the values coming from it. Compare the values to the values you find in the repair manual. You can also check the sensor with a multimeter, but you need to get the given sensor’s right measurement values. Find out more on this video. Can you clean fuel rail pressure sensor?

What should fuel pressure be when no Buzz?
Fuel pressure is typically in the 35 to 45 psi range. If your Anti-Theft light is flashing; the anti-theft system is disabling the fuel pump to prevent the engine from starting. Bad fuel pump (Pump should run for a few seconds when ignition key is turned to start, no buzz means no fuel delivery to the engine).
Why does my car have no fuel pressure?
Many people recognize this sound every time they start the car but don’t realize it is the fuel pump running. If you “DO NOT” hear the buzz of the fuel pump; then your engine has no fuel pressure, and we need to see why. The first thing you want to do is check the fuse panel to see if the fuse is blown.
How can I check if my fuel pump is getting power?
After verifying that no fuel pressure exists, check that the fuel pump is getting power by tapping into the power circuit that feeds the pump with 12 Volts with a multimeter. Once you’re tapped in, have a helper crank the engine while you observe your multimeter in Volts DC mode.
