The girl is gone and all I have now is a beat-up teener  Group: Members Posts: 301 Joined: 22-May 04 From: Gig Harbor and University Place, WA :: School in Angola, IN :: girlfriend in Sarasota, FL Member No.: 2,094 Region Association: None  |
So I left in summer for vacation and school and my teener was running just fine. I cleaned out the tank, replaced everything, and tuned the engine. It was doing just fine.
So it seems my teener luck has gone downhill. A windstorm wrapped our canopy garage thing around the teener, scraping and scratching up the car. And when my dad tried to start it up to take it to the body shop, it wont hold an idle. It starts to fire and dies. He can pump it and give it gas to get it to run at about 2 -3K rpm, but then dies. He has to 'rev the piss out of it' to keep it running, and it's backfiring sometimes. It sounds like fuel starvation, but I just cleaned the gas tank, and put in a new filter. Any ideas? It had only sat since I left, nothing done to it. |
