Title: no fuel to engine?
Post by: 4X4Barbie on August 11, 2012, 06:45:36 PM: 03 tracker....let my nephew.take it thru a muddy trail and he backed into a tree with the driver side back corner...bumper end is pushed in and corner lights busted, which is no problem....but the engine will not start....starter turns, but its like fuel is not getting to the engine....

Anyone know what I can try....only have mobile internet so FAQ is too tedious, sorry if its a repeat question, any info would be appreciated.

Spray starter fluid into the air intake whilst cranking - does it run?

If it is a no fuel situation, check the fuel pump wiring, check the fuel lines.

As far as I'm aware an '03 Tracker doesn't have an inertia style fuel cut off switch - off course, if I'm wrong - I'll be happy to learn where it is, I'm 100% certain the Suzuki equivalent doesn't have one, but the Tracker's not so sure.

Post by: mrfuelish on August 12, 2012, 05:33:43 PM: I'm not sure if it does or not, the newest rig I own is a 1999 but there should be a book in the glove box that would show where it is if it has one. mine is on the side kick panel under the glove box, on another rig I had it was in the trunk on the side under the carpet, a station wagon I had it was in a compartment in the side in the back.

Post by: z0mb1emutha on August 13, 2012, 08:35:15 AM: is the pump coming on? if not the wiring for the fuel pump goes through the rear driver side corner. pull out the tail light assembly and inspect the wiring.
