Re: car stales out..

i'm having the same problem with mine. also seems to be weather related....


starts up and runs for maybe a second, then just dies....and for about 10 seconds afterward, the fan stays on....super loud.

my dad an i believe it might be a fan sensor, stealing juice from the battery instead of sending it to the fuel pump. but i have no idea why the weather would affect that.


anyone else know? i'd like to get this thing running right

Re: Car Wont Stay Running

You had a similar post yesterday. Rather than starting a new thread, add onto the old one.

I'll "merge" the two threads.
