These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Help diagnose please. Running errands. Came out of store and car will not start. 2000 C2 3.4L 6sp. I've replaced fuel pump, sending unit, fuel pump relay, and now the crank position sensor. Start-up remains unchanged. https://imgur.com/a/2co8sxE

POST 2Original post

Does it crank and idle then die quickly if so it’s your MAF just disconnect it and try I had this issue seems maf is persistent problem Mike

POST 3Original post

It looks like tach is bouncing in the video but it�s hard to tel. If so then CPS should be off the possible list. did you try testing fuel pressure at the fuel line?

POST 5Original post

Checked clutch pedal ignition lock switch? I been having issue as well with difficulty starting. I went ahead and wrapped the actuator arm on the switch w/ zip tie. No longer an issue.

POST 6Original post

If can check codes, that would be great. Couple thoughts: - pulling the immobilizer ecu out of the car (under the drivers seat) and open the case and clean the motherboard with electronics cleaner. - ignition switch. Try different key first.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
