Weird no-start problem.
Had a no-start today. Cranked just fine, but didn't start.
Service Engine Soon light came on for the self-test, so I know PCM was getting power.
I could hear the fuel pump relay under the hood clicking on when I turned. The key to RUN, then cut off about 10 sec later... But I couldn't hear the fuel pump, considering it's in the next zip code.
I checked for fuel at the Schrader valve on the fuel rail and got a good splash of gasoline. Right after that, it fired right up.
No codes.
Is the tach supposed to bounce a little when cranking without starting?

Any more issues? Did you find a resolution to the problem? I am having a no start issue with my 2001. Newish battery, cranks fine but no start. Recently replaced plugs and a coil after a blow out. Since the blow out repair have had no issues until this crank without starting.
Tried replacing my Cam position sensor but that didnt solve the problem.
