I WANT MY CAR TO DIE!!!!!

Post by legacyrallymachine »

ok for those of you we know my cars massive problems here is yet another.....

i fixed the collent problem i think......

i fixed the ignition problem i thought.......

i unpluged the wiring harnes and reconnected it my car started with no problems at all. I then did a test drive and the was no problems. when i stopped i felt victory...... then my car struck back.
Now it will not start if the engine is cold. sometimes i can get it started after it deasels. i have to keep the rpms up above 2k for about 5 to 10 secounds it runs like a dream..... now it will not start with a cold engine. after its warm and i turm it off it starts with no problems at all. it got worse every time i drove it since i thought it was fixed..... now it wont even start at all.

Check for a serious vacumn leak, or any of the intake areas being open, ie bypassing the MAF.

I go the opposite way, when the car gets warm and hot, it is hard to start and it runs very very I mean very rich. I have to let my car sits about a mins or 2 and then it will start, but not a easy and good start. Once it start and I have to step on the gas to see hows the car gose, if it goes linner then its drivable, but if I could see or feel the car is like fuel cutting during step on the gas then I have to restart it. I was think it will be the problem of the Coolant temp. senser, but after I put a new one on and the problem still remain.....
Check all the connection on the main plug in the engine bay or try to clean it with electroic cleaner.
Good luck.

He and I both think your coolant temperature sensor is broken.

Thats the cheapest way to fix your problem. Try to change the Coolant Temp. sensor first, if it still have problem, then run the CEL code.

Good luck.
