ktm Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 ....the fuel system. I am not starting the car, simply turning the key to the ON position. You will hear the pump energize and then an incredibly loud BANG! It only happens occasionally and the car will start up and idle fine afterwards. Most of the time when I energize the fueling system nothing happens, but when it does go BANG! it scares the crap outta me. I have checked all over for fuel leaks, etc. and do not see anything. It HAS to be fuel system related as that is the ONLY thing that is energized when the key is in the ON position. Anyone have ANY idea what the @(#&$(@#& it is? I am stumped.

justinr54321 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Do you have your pump turn on in the ACC position or the on position with the ignition? The only thing I can think of is gas getting into the pistons and when you go to the "on" position, its igniting any fuel you might have in that one cylinder. Of course, I might be tottally wrong too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted November 23, 2007 Author Share Posted November 23, 2007 It's turned on in the ON position. The START position is where the starter is engaged. Tony D mentioned at another site that his MS'd car does the same thing. Basically the coil is sparking when the system is first energized. Sometimes there is enough fuel/vapors in the right mixture to ignite. Still looking for other possibilities though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowlerMonkey Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Most new cars won't energize the relay that gives positive to the injectors, tranny relays, fuel pump relay, ignition coils, and misc. engine solenoids such as vacuum switching valves until the car sees a good crank angle sensor signal. Toyota calls it a circuit opening relay and chrysler calls it the ASD relay. I'll guess the aftermarket manufacturers will soon embrace this though I don't know if any have.
