Car idles then dies


Owen

Recommended Posts

Started up the car this weekend! After numerous fuel leak and oil problems....

 

Right at start up the car idles very rough and timing is very erratic. The problem is, the car won't idle long enough for me to get the timing set and turning the distributor has very little effect if at all. The longest I can get it to idle is approx. 10 seconds.

 

I have a feeling that this is a problem with ignition timing settings in the Haltech, but the way it dies makes it sound like it suddenly lost fuel.

 

383 SBC

TIPS Miniram2 EFI manifold

Haltech E6K

MSD 6AL

Ignition initially set at 10deg BTDC

1/2 tank of gas

 

 

Anyone here familiar with the E6K set-up????

I hope I'm not hurting my engine!

I had a friend with a similar problem, it just turned out to be a burnt rotor, it was brand new too and you two even have the same msd equiptment. So check rotor and the cap,even the distributor. Hopefully it helps. But you might want to do what mike said and check to see if your gas hasnt seeped down and contaminated the oil yet. good luck icon_cool.gif
