Archived 05 wont start

[KevinSmith]

The bosses (my ride to carpool in) 05 was running rough today on the way to work. He shut it off at work and restarted it without any problem right away. We got off shift 10 hour later and it wont start. I suspect some bad fuel but it has two codes coming up on the odometer. The first is P0483 and the second is P0514. Any way to fing out if they point to a particuliar issue? Thanks Kevin

Neither would seem to cause a no start issue unless your serpentine belt is broken, or the "no start" is "no cranking/slow crank" ergo not enough power (voltage) to start.

It would seem a bad injector(s) or FCA would be the problem but could be a bad lift pump.

One of the guys came up with a trailer today to take it to the dealership. I think his wife got a tank of bad fuel and after driving it home on that tank (100 miles) the injectors are toast. Just a theory , but we should know by friday.

we should know by friday.

Post back and let us know, always interested.

Hopefully a bad tank of fuel, and not a tank of Gas.

Bad fuel may give you some recourse, gas voids the warranty.
