need some advice from anyone who wants to...

car will start, then die, as if its starved for fuel....have tried MAF, fuel pressure is 36 psi, fuel filter not too long ago, plugs wires recently....

funny thing is it runs fine once it gets started....only prob is when i start it....oh ya, sometime it will start without a problem....this car is possessed!

any suggestions, post up!!

 

mine did that, iac valve i think. how bout if you get it to turn over then give it some gas to keep the rpms high? mine started then wanted to die. also could be the opti.

 

thing that sucks....NO CODES....i thought about the iac, or opti...but opti is only about 4 months old....i will look into the IAC tho.

please keep posting

 

i just unpluged my iac, mines a 93 so i dont know if it will work on yours. now i just give it some gas and it starts up fine.

 

gonna pull tha IAC sensor out 2morrow and see what happens.......shouldnt be too difficult swapping it out with out pulling anything off the car is it.....or must you pull the TB???

good thing i work at a parts store w/ 20% discount.... i live in Lubbock where scoggin dickey is.....72 for that thing, i get it from advance auto parts (work) for 30 sumthin....thank god for employee discounts!

 

Hey there, my LT1 did the same thing, I replaced the fuel pump relay and IAC and it worked.

Good luck
Kevin

 

you guys think this would help cure hard starts? like overly long cranking b4 firing? runs fine once it starts, just hard starts all the time, unless started just a couple minutes after shutting off then it fires right up

thanks

 

You started the car with the IAC unplugged???

 

i did that also, just to test it......idled at like 1800, hahaha....but i do believe it is the AIC.....and i also will be checking the fuel pump relay.

 

yes been doing so for months now.


also the fuel pump relay could be a culprit to hard initial starts. mine did that too
