Won't Start?
Alright i have been talking to this guy who has an 88 iroc that he is thinking about selling and im considering buying it but i wanted to see what could be causing the problem first. He said that with a new battery it would only start if you put the gas to the floor and held it there then i would sit at like 5grand but as soon as you let out the gas it staled immediately any ideas?
|
Could be something as simple as a fuel filter.
|
anything else like injectors pinched fuel lines
|
Is there hesitation when it revs up to 5k RPMS? How about does it hesitate/stall if you very slowly let off the gas when decreasing from 5k RPMS?
|
Always start from cheapest/simplest then work from there, buddys truck wouldnt start (same symptoms as the car your describing), i preached to him the fuel filter, he disagreed, he cleaned all the injectors, tested the fuel pump, injector pump, changed several lines, nothing..... then the fuel filter.... started first try
|
sounds like a hack job to me dillbert. but lets go look at it

and trel im pretty sure he replaced fuel filter and im not sure if it hesitates or not ill ask |
You can never bee too sure! plus there are like 15+ fuel filters
|
15+? that cant be accurate
|
it was an estimate
|
theres 2, one inline like under the drivers side back seat and then the sock on the pump itself
|
so really like an inline filter and a strainer on the pump
but any other ideas |
i wouldn't buy it.
|
I was close. As long as the injector pump isnt shot it shouldnt be to expensive to repair yourself. (Heard they run for a couple hundred $$ or more)
|
injector pump???? those are on diesel and DFI.
a basic fuel pump is maybe around the 100 buck range |
Check the fuel pressure, see what it's at.
