Killing a couple birds with one stone
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2003 3:13 am
I don't post often, so i might as well ask a few questions all at once. First let me say that everyone here is very helpful to everyon else and you all deserve pats on the back or soemthing.
The main problem I am having is that at certain times during driving the car will die or start to die. Mostly happens when I am just starting the car itll run for about 10 seconds and then die. Although when I was turning out of a parking lot it did try to die, but after reving the engine it didn't( I don't know if that was the best thing to do but it worked). It's been going on for a while now but today was by far the worst happenings I've had with it. Not only did it die while I was at an idling, but I was idling at a busy intersection just as the light turned green, I had to start it 4 more times before it wouldnt die after 2-3 seconds. Needless to say, I am not happy with this situation. At anyrate, I dont really know how to explain it but it dies sometimes and I can stop the "dieing" if i rev the engine a few times(again don't know if that is a correct thing to do). If anyone knows anything about that or how to fix it or can even diagnose the problem that would be great.
Another thing i noticed today was that the fan was making a loud noise, sounded like it was going to break or soemthing, maybe a bad bearing? or something needs to be oiled? again anyhelp is greatly appreciated.
And finally just for my own curiosity, would anyone happen to know the horses and tourque that my car produces, its a stock 90 ls auto.
Thanks for your time.
