Ok heres the deal Im driveing home Wed. night and my car dies but it starts right back
I go to take off and it dies again so I got help pushing it off the road
when we got it off the road I reached in and turned the key the car started
so I thought I would go on home WRONG the car died again
so I had it towed home when I got home I pushed the car to where it was to be parked
so I reached in turned the key and it started again
after it starts it will idle all day but when you give it gas it dies untill you push it and it will start
what could cause my 92 Pontiac sunbird 2.0 to do this
any help will be appreceated
sounds like a bad fuel pump cant keep fuel pressure up?
maybe even something as easy as a bad fuel pressure regulator......
thats what I was thinking thanks
ah get one of those damn fuel pressure gauge things and then measure it from there. i dont think the pump is a problem because when i backed off a ledge unto my fuel pump it worked fine but the car basically redlined at 3K RPM. you should check out the pressure regulator to see if the vacum is hooked up to it and to see if the vacum is hooked up to the manifold.well, the service manual doesn't really display a troubleshoot symptom for car idles but shuts down after slight acceleration.
