What Causes No Fuel and No Spark in a Buick Excelle?
2 Answers
As long as it can pass the annual inspection normally and the mileage does not exceed 600,000 kilometers, it will not be forcibly scrapped. Below is relevant information about the Excelle: 1. Exterior: The new Excelle mainly improves details, with a more three-dimensional grille trim, a one-piece design for the lower air intake, and slight adjustments to the headlight housing structure. Compared to the old model, the new Excelle focuses on the upgraded powertrain, where improvements in fuel economy will help enhance its market competitiveness. It is expected to remain a good choice for a family sedan after its launch. 2. Fuel Consumption: The new Excelle 1.5L DVVT manual transmission has a combined fuel consumption of 6.6 liters per 100 kilometers, while the automatic transmission version consumes 7.6 liters. This is a reduction of 1.1 liters and 0.4 liters compared to the old 1.6L manual and automatic models, respectively. According to the latest official news, the upcoming new Excelle will be equipped with a 1.5L DVVT engine to replace the old 1.6L engine, and the transmission has also been upgraded. The 1.5L DVVT engine will be paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, while the old 4AT transmission will no longer be used.
I remember my Buick Excelle had the same issue that year. It wouldn't start, and after inspection, I found out the fuel pump was dead—no fuel was being delivered. The ignition coil also failed, and the spark plugs had no spark. Wiring problems could also be the culprit, like a blown fuse or poor contact due to aging wires. Low battery voltage can cause the entire system to malfunction. ECU failure affects all controls, but it's rare. Regular maintenance is key—replace spark plugs periodically and clean the fuel filter to prevent these problems. If all else fails, don't push it; take it to a proper repair shop immediately. Safety first to avoid getting stranded on the road.
