2003 Chevy Impala cranks but won't start. Low voltage to fuel injector and misfire in cylinder 3 and no power to fuel pump.

cranks ok, but will not start
well he low voltage (non told) is from cranking the battery flat/low.
so charge the battery ;.
P0303 codes right? and no others?
power to the fuel pump happens only 3 ways
1: the priming action to pump key on for 1 to 2 seconds, as you can see that is a 2 person job. lacking huge long meter test leadss
2 cranking the pump runs only cranked.
3: engine running.,fully and sustained.
No engine told 3.4L or 3.8L. automatic I resume.
VIN derivative (1) for 3100 LG8 and 3400 LA1
Learn first that injectors are disabled if the pCM sees gross errors with spark, dead cmp , dead ckp or spark feed back dead.
to see that on a scan tool (real)
we use charged battery first.
then scan tool connected we crank for 10 full seconds , no longer.
release the key , not tuned off and see all DTC P03xx not just one.
see them all, and they all matter.
Lacking those events test all spark plugs for spark not just 1.
and test fuel pressure CRANKED a dead engine.
spec is, 3.4L (52-59?psi)

#2 cylinder misfiring why?

Usually if you know which cylinder, you check spark--fuel--compression on that cylinder.
You could do cylinder balance test, engine idling, kill each cylinder, one at a time. If you kill a cylinder that has no effect on rpms, that cylinder is dead for some reason, spark--fuel--compression?
I usually kill spark and do it quickly.

Autoshutdown keeps turning on

which engine???????????????????????????
ASD is tricky on jeeps.
The Auto shutdown,relay.
what is it , how does it works is covered in the fsm. read it.
http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowledge-base/index.htm?utm_source=cj#service
The ECU runs this RELAY, and if the ECU sees a gross error
it shuts this down, and the schematic there is clear as to what.
both spark and fueling.
here is what can drop it out.
1: crank sensor.
2: cam sensors or TDC ,etc.
3: sees spark dead or weak.
4: Immobilizer active. (failed)

as the book says , make sure spark is good for the 2 seconds cranking. (not after the 2seconds)
the ECU is programmed like this.
user cranks.
ECU creates spark,, using the crank/cam sensors at the time base
for 2 seconds
if the spark read back fails or the 2 sensors fail, the ecu shuts DOWN.
this is for fire prevention.
most other cars just cut the injectors, but not jeep
the drop the MAIN ASD relay.

using the check engine light flash codes, you can see which of the
3 failed, cranking for 5 second and releasing the key on all cars.
1996 and newer a scan tool is use to same effects.

now the 64,000 dollar qustion,
see page 8w-30-4
why does the ASD KILL THE IGNITION coil. easy.
1: it only guess it 2 seconds to make spark
2: if it cant,. it then drops the relay. killing fuel too.
3: this prevents the the crash and burn you see on TV.

so its 2 second permissive system. (or 3?) i forget exact seconds, its in then book and is short.
many dont know this. but is a fact.


now the flash codes.
crank for 5 seconds while in flash code mode
see emmisions page for how.

flash code 11 drops the ASD ! (cam or crank sensor dead)
code 54 cam signal dead?
code 43, spark bad.

I have 3 codes on my 08 impala; P0455 P0521 P1174

The 455 and 1174 are probably related to the same issue---emissions and air to fuel mixture which could be a purge valve for the evap. system and the 521 is usually a bad oil pressure sensor.

I have ran hot with my radiator cap off the car killed, never came back on. what do i need fixed?

If you ran your car out of radiator fluid and it cut off and stopped running, and then you added water..you have probably cracked the block and will need to either rebuild this motor or replace with a rebuilt motor.
If the car starts and is leaking water from under the middle of the motor it could be the water pump....but more than likely you have blown the engine. Sorry.

How do I program my key for my 2006 Chevy Impala?

Add Duplicate Key (PK3 or PK3+ key)
1. Insert an existing key into the ignition cylinder.
2. Turn the ignition cylinder to ON (RUN) and back to OFF.
3. Remove the existing key and, within fifteen seconds, insert the new key
and turn it to ON (RUN).
4. The security light will light up for two seconds to indicate success in programming
the key into the vehicle.
Originate New Master Key (PK3 or PK3+ key)

1. Insert new key into ignition cylinder and turn it to the ON (RUN) position.
The security light on the dash will illuminate and stay on for ten minutes.
2. When the security light goes out, you have one minute to start the next
step. Turn the ignition cylinder to OFF and then back to the ON (RUN)
position. The security light on the dash will illuminate and stay on for ten
more minutes.
3. When the security light goes out, you have one minute to start the next

into the vehicle’s computer and will operate the car. It has replaced ALL the
previous electronic key codes and is the ONLY key programmed into the
vehicle’s computer.
