my iroc keeps stalling out apon starting it its a summer car in good condition so i store it for the winter and start it up every couple of days to keep the motor lubed. well when i start it up itll run like **** an gag and cough for 2 seconds till it stalls out and the fuel pump keeps running even if i turn the key back off after it stalls the fuel pump keeps running. second time i start it she cranks up and runs like a charm just wondering whatt the hell is going on

 

check the fuel pump relay or regulator

check coil

and its not good for the car to start it when its in storage unless you can give the car a good run on the street.

its actually better if you let it sit and do all the tthings like gas stabalizer, change fluids and then lube cylinder walls before you fire it up in the summer

 

hook up a fuel pressure gauge to the inj rail with the first key cycle after an 8 hour soak, turn on the key and check the pressure you should see 40-45 psi with the "prime" if it takes a few key ups to achieve 40 psi...the pump is shot.

 

If it doesn't hold pressure, the regulator is shot

 

it only dosent when its cold out

maybe ill change the pump and relay for the hell of it

 

am i supposed to cycle that pump with the key on first i never do i just crank it over

 

Most of us just turn the key on and crank in one motion.

 

i wait for the dash to light up and the fuel pump to hum for a sec but thats just me

 

That doesn't hurt either. I only do that when I haven't started the engine in a long while.
