Gollum Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Yea, so my car didn't always like to start right up. Sometimes would take 3 or 4 trys to get it running. And until it was warm the engine didn't like load at ALL. I'd rev it up to a strong 2-2.5k RPM and feather the clutch and it would bog down and try to die, so I'd be left feathering the clutch. So i finally thought "well, lets just start unplugging sensors and see if the symptom resides with unplugging anything". First thing I tried, because I didn't have much faith in it to begin with, i don't really know why, Was this one. And while the engine was cold I unplugged it and the idle went up to a warm up idle, around 1800 rpm or so. Then I plugged it back up and it when to a normal idle, but revving the engine seemed fine. Got in the car and it took off just fine. So opened up the hood again and unplugged it and the car was going to die so I plugged it back in real quick. I don't fully understand what the sensor does, but I cleaned the contact off and my car has been running just peachy since. Yay for $0 dollor fixes.
