well.... i thought i had my car fixed.... but no. i found the cam sensor plug unplugged so i plugged it back in and put it back together, now it starts and then dies. it has weak spark and no codes, thats whats getting me its like it starts then something just stops arriving (fuel, spark, etc) and it just dies. this car is out to get me

Can you make it keep running with the throttle?

nope

Hmm.

Your car ran before, right?

Is it possible you have a big vacuum leak?

i dont know if it does have a vacuum leak. it did run before, i went to lunch, came back and it would not start. i did run it with the bov venting to atmosphere at idle..... but just for a couple parking lot passes.

Hm.

You have access to a Select Monitor, right? Maybe you should see what the various readings look like right as it stalls.

why not get dad or brother to fix it?

Make sure your brother doesn't forget to tighten the shift linkage in your car so that the bolt nearly-almost falls out completely and leave the shifter sloppier then a 50 year old hooker on the bad side of the tracks like he did with mine.

vrg3- i'll do that when i go back 2 the shop, thanks\

jasongrahn- i'm sensing some hostility on your part.... i wouldnt have to worry about that cuz i put the transmission in... and its an automatic no 5spd yet

no worries so far, i've fixed it.

thats kool

well i havent been to the shop much with school being started and all.... but i did get my hands on a bov, a turboxs type h, which hopefully i will put on within the next week, then well see whats going on from there.
