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? |

You probably need to make sure you dont have to much oil. It will flood the valves, foul the plugs, and blow alot of smoke. The condition you have sound like a combination of several items. A simple tune up will identify all the issues, and you will become familiar with your car, what problems mean what to look for, and learn how to listen to your car. Rich (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) , start with a toon(1) up( punn intended (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). Here are some other things to check, eventually( have a member help). TPS( throttle posistion sensor) If bad, can cause surging, bucking and poor accel. CHTS ( cylinder head temp sensor) If bad: will cause hard starts and rich mixtures. it is used for W/U enrichment only BUT if bad may/ will bounce back and forth and tell the F.I. brain to richen the mixture when NOT needed. MPS( manifold pressure sensor) THIS IS A BIGGIE, IF BAD, WILL CAUSE SO MANY PROBS., YOU WILL WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR OFF A CLIFF. (without you in it ,of course) F.I. trigger points( thay are in the dissy housing) if bad , causes bucking and kicking ignition points( s/b changed at toon up time) If burnt will cause the engine not to start or run poorly,in general |
