#315 of 373 97 sunfire and it won't start. HELP!!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!! by mandyk Jul 08, 2008 (9:28 am)
Is there anyone that can help me on this problem I'm having with my car. I replaced the starter, fuel filter, igniton switch, spark plugs. And it still won't start. It will turn over but it won't start. The theft system light stays on. I don't know it that matters. But then I noticed that when I go to start it and the little orange triangle isn't lit on the dash above the P (park) then the car will not start. I hoping that this makes since on what I'm trying to say. If anyone knows what might be the solution, please feel free to let me in on something. I just bought this car in Feburary. I know nothing about Pontiac's. Nor does my father.

#319 of 373 97 Sunfire DTC PO301 by wade11 Jul 12, 2008 (6:20 pm)
I'm new to this site, so I may not be in the right place. I'm looking for some ideas on figuring out this code. I bought the car not running. Found it to be a broken timing chain. The car starts but idles rough. Smoothes out about 1500 rpm. Get to 4000 rpm and it starts missing and can rev no higher. MIL is flashing. Had coil pack/ignition module checked at Autozone. Replaced wires, plugs, throttle position sensor, number one fuel injector, fuel filter. Found an old code reading in the glove box for a PO300 random misfire, but not sure when it was taken. Anyone got any more ideas? Replies to this message: jaco0062 (Jul 22, 2008 2:35 pm)

Replying to: dodge9160 (May 12, 2008 6:12 pm) To reset anti-theft light, leave ignition on for about ten min. You must have a good battery as the headlights will be on. Don,t touch the car untill time is over.This is also to fix start and stall problems. Alsoo if vehicle has a remote start, often the security bypas screws up and sets theft light.

Replying to: driston1974 (Jul 08, 2008 7:40 pm) Everybody who owns a sunfire seems to neglect to change the fuel filter. The fuel pump can handle only so much. Put a fuel pressure tester on and note the fuel presure should be about 40 psi.I have been a tech for about 5 years and have had probably 200 cars that req fuel pumps due to improper maintainence. Fuel filter needs to be changed 1 a year. If fuel pressure spec is too low rec change fuel pump and filter
