Brad-ManQ45 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 This summer I went and got my emissions tested (OK, but only after trials and tribulations because the new tester didn't input data correctly) Had to do the test again - had shut the car off, but it wouldn't start. Let it cool for 20 mins and it started right up. Now this was after only having a fan blowing into the engine while the emissions test was run the first time, but I have come to a stop light in the summer and pushed in the clutch, and had the engine die - only to fire up 20 minutes later. When I heard it start to stall I tried pumping the pedal to keep the R's up but no go... Is there an ignition problem here (heat related)? Fuel pressure is fine, so I can't believe it is vapor lock.

fl327 Posted October 29, 2003 Share Posted October 29, 2003 could be battery, loose connection to fusible links box off positive battery terminal. then i would go down the food chain of voltage. alternator, starter leads, anything in the charging system. i would check the power transistor, one of its favorite signs is that stalling, to tell you it wants out. i would see what kind of voltage that is getting. but I would do a few things first. I would check grounding through the ecu pins, and clean them underhood first. Actually put this first, I actually had the same thing happen to me, and it turns out when I unplugged and plugged back in the ecu, it stopped???

Brad-ManQ45 Posted November 7, 2003 Author Share Posted November 7, 2003 Alternator and voltage regulator is fine. Have gone through all connections. Thanks for the advice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
