help a suby buddy out

Post by skygaze666 »

Okay this what happened car day before run perfect and that same night went to go to the store at night and car didnt want to start up or keep idle so next couple of days car acting up i believe its the tps sensor causing the car to flip out and not run if there's any better legacy buddies in Burien or Seattle can help me out at my house or just stuff i can do...it takes my car like3-7 tries to get it to idle at a low rpm. During cold start car idles out of control high 3k and rises slowly.its hard to pin point what's wrong it runs rich then lean... Its a pain not able to find the problem so anything can help..

Coolant temp sensor possibly.

I've moved your thread to the engine forum.

Does the car start and run ok/better once it's warmed up? If so, I would agree with Kimo and suggest checking/replacing the coolant temp sensor.

it doesn't run better it idles better everytime I try and give it gas it chockes and hesitates and I can't get no boost either... But i will look into the coolant temp see if that's the problem
