Fuel pressure sensor?

Maybe all my spam posts are missed?

This forum has indeed been inactive, with very few regular contributors. BUT it's a 2-way street. The OP had a prior thread going on this exact same problem. In that thread I had suggested that he do some testing (including a fuel pressure test with a gauge) prior to installing parts. He didn't respond to my post, and chose instead to abandon that thread and start a completely new one on the same problem. So there is no way I'm going to waste my time trying to talk to someone who clearly showed he isn't interested in what I have to say.

im sorry I didn't see the response. I'm trying to do this all from my phone. it doesn't always cooperate for me.

also I started that other thread with some additional information. sorry if I offended.

also, if anybody else has a scanner that's live-data capable, and a first gen aveo, could you see what yours reads? I'm wondering if my cheap scanner (harbor freight) can't read it correctly , and that is there by mistake. I've heard of it happening.

looks like it was out of time. the shops installing a whole new timing kit right now. figured that as long as its apart it might as well be new.

At last, you've found the underlying issue. Hopefully this fixes it once and for all!

hopefully. I ended up taking it to the dealer to get it diagnosed. they wanted 300 bux just to check time and correct. NOT a new belt. found a local shop that will do it for 150 and then the timing kit (from NAPA) that ended up being 160 bux and that included the belt the tensioner, the idler pulley and the water pump.

Awesome. I despise our stealership! When the timing belt was replaced under warranty it was a $700 flat "book" price. I swallowed a little when I saw that...

Hopefully this nips this in the ass and you'll be set for a while.

let's hope!

running good!
Fuel rail pressure still says 0psi on the scanner but I don't think its any problem because no cel or codes and its running right!

Awesome! Hopefully this is laid to rest now.
