I posted this on the NARP board, and thought it would be silly not to post it here as well.
Last Saturday, I drove over 110 miles roundtrip from my house to Torrance and back - no problems. In fact, after doing an oil change there, it seemed to drive better going home. So I'm out for drive yesterday and I notice the idle is a little low and sputtering. I park the car for about 1.5 hours, and when I start to head home it's running like $hit. The engine is stalling at stops in neutral, and loss of power between 3000-3500 rpms when accelerating. At one point around 2 miles from home, the engine stalls at a light and I can't get it started. When I turn the key to the "ON" position I can hear the fuel pump before turning over without firing, and after several attempts I can smell gas so I don't think it's a fuel problem, but being a newbie (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . Anybody in the I.E. that could lend a hand? |

Does it still run crappy after some 'time off'? Yea, I took it around the block last night before closing up, and it didn't want run at idle. But I couldn't tell if that's from the engine being cold or if it's a continuation of the symptoms I had during the day. I mean, it started o.k., but a few seconds later it just sputtered and died. I would say that I'm frustrated, but I think that's expected with owning one of these cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
