I would suspect it could be something to do with brake transaxle shift-interlock mechanism. It is located somewhere in center console sorta under shift lever. There could be something wrong with it or I have heard of wire going there either being frayed or stretched or possibly some corrosion on the connection.

Have to pump gas pedal to get Aztek to start

2001 Aztek 3.4L- I have had this thing hooked to the computer several times and replaced the EGR valve, Ignition Control Module, checked all injectors and replaced plugs and wires at the recommendation of my mechanic(s). Yet I still have to pump the gas pedal to get the car to start. Once running, it runs perfect. This problem popped up 6 months ago and nobody seems to be able to fix it. It's not that big of a deal unless it becomes a larger problem later. Plus I'd like to put an automatic starter (necessary here in MN) on the vehicle.
Thanks for any help.

I've replaced head gasket, intake manifold gasket, condenser, tires, brakes and rotors, pigtail sensor and the above-mentioned parts in the last 6 months. I'm tired of putting cash into my beloved Aztek...

I am also having the often mentioned problems with my rear hatch not opening without getting out, pulling up, then hitting the open button again as well as the blower fan working intermittently (because of the bad wiring harness). I had to replace the stereo right after purchasing as well. I have owned the Aztek for 2 1/2 years...Why do I love this vehicle so much?? LOL.

Just a guess, but for the starting problem, how about the fuel pressure regulater. Another thought: Fuel filter?
For the hatch (assuming it is happening in warm weather), try this: lift the hatch and you should see a rubber bumper on each side. Turn each out a little bit (counter clockwise) maybe a 1/4 turn or so and see of its better (turning them out to much wouldn't be good, will set ajar ligh on).

Ahhh...yes, thank you. I forgot to mention that the fuel pressure regulator was replaced by the mechanic also. I will definitely try the bumper adjustment, though. I appreciate your input a lot.

And the fuel filter was replaced at the same time...

Aztek won't start

I have notice on several attempts to start my Aztek, that it will hesitate a little and then start, but this morning, all it did was hesitate. It never started. It's not the battery. Someone at work said maybe it has something to do with the fuel injector. I don't know. Any suggestions?

Check the "No Start" Problems discussion while waiting for Aztek specific responses in here.
