Chevrolet Repair: no start, bottom check, broken wires

Question
I have an 03 cavalier with 2.2l eng. All of a sudden it wont start. It is definately a fuel problem, as in there is none. I cannot hear the pump come on at ignition power or cranking. there is also no pressure at valve on rail after several attempts at starting. I think it is related to the theft deterrant sys. as my dog got under the car and pulled on the harnesses at the tank and also dislodged the evap can at the tank on the bottom.

Answer
Check for broken wires where the dog ate the wires and fix the connections.

Fuel pump test:

1. Get yourself a helper.

2. remove the gas cap.

3. have one person listen in the gas tank at the gas cap opening.

4. have the other person turn the ignition switch to the ON position ONLY so as the dash lights come on. Do NOT attempt to start the engine.

5. As soon as the ignition key is turned to the ON position, The person at the gas tank should hear the fuel pump run for TWO SECONDS and then it should STOP.

6. Does it ?.


If you do NOT hear it run, in most cases the fault is the fuel pump.



let me know.
