2002 996TT not firing

[jimking]

Pulling out of the driveway the car stalled, and would not start. It turns over, but does not fire. Ignition switch was replaced about a year ago. Is this possibly something weird caused by ignition switch as opposed to something more serious?

I would check the fuel system first, if the car have no fault codes. Since the car will turn over, the ignition and clutch/brake switch looks OK.

+1 fuel pump or ruptured fuel line. Search is your friend.

Thanks for replys

I will at least look in direction of fuel system. I notice that there is a different or strange noise right before motor turns over. There was a gas shortage recently in my area, and I could only get regular unleaded gas on my last fill up. I am looking for fuel filter, fuel pump, & fuel pump relay switch locations on a 2002 turbo. I saw a different model having a fuel filter tucked away in the underbody cover.

I am following lines that disappear. Any assistance in location, and install/correction is greatly appreciated. It amazes me how much there is to know about this auto. Thanks for this site as I probably would have sold car long ago it were not for support & information from Renntech, and PCA.

On not starting turbo I can smell gas at exhaust or rear of car. I would think that would indicate I am getting gas to the motor. Ideas welcome.
