if someone has any idea please let me know. thanks |
RE: need help
could be somthing to do with the ignition, maybe it cant hold a spark, or its depriving itself of fuel, could be a number of things, if you can give a more accurate detail of whats happening, i could try to point you in the right direction.
if not then first check for spark then check for fuel problems, try getting injector cleaner then work your way back |
RE: need help
My Haynes repair manual says
#1. loose or damaged wire harness conections at distributor, coil or alternator. #2. Intake manifold vacum leaks. Make sure all mounting bolts/nuts are tight and all vacum hoses connected to the manifold are attached properly and in good condition. #3. Insufficient fuel pressure. #4. Fuel injection or engine control systems malfunction. you also might want to check and make sure your air filter isn't getting clogged. Hope this helps?? |
RE: need help
IAC. You need to clean it with some carb cleaner. That would be an easy and inexpensive place to start.
Let me find something... Here's what I was looking for. Go down through the post and you will find a pic of what you need to clean. GL :) |
RE: need help
Ok, here's another link that will help step by step and also a pic that will show you where the IAC is on your engine. It's easy, it is bolted to the higest point under your hood. Find the horse. :)
EDIT: You will need an extension to get to that bottom bolt. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i3...ac20valve4.jpg IAC Step by Step |
