So I'm almost done with my build project for my car....

It started up fine last night and the day before and revved and idle like it was suppose to.

Go to the store to get a new belt and a breather for the valve cover. Come back, put the breather on, plug the TB hole, and put the belt on. Afterwards I finished tightening the exhaust flange bolts (stock exhaust) and I go to start it....starts up and stalls out, try again, same result.

Press the gas in and start it...it starts and revvs up popping for a split second then clears up and revvs normal. Let gas off, car stalls.

What could it be? I'll be scanning for codes after I write this and start looking stuff up.

Could it be the Idle air control? I noticed when I plugged the pigtail in that all four wires were showing...

Any help would be great, I'll check back later after i'm done scanning codes and see what else I can do to get it to start.

 

false alarm... took my intake off and found the issue...

the DO cap that you can use to plug the donkey d**k hole flew up into intake and caused a huge "vacuum" leak...

 

lol I love how that thing has a name. Glad you figured out the problem, do you mind me asking where you purchased that cap?

 

haha right!


oh i got the cap from wal mart....its from the top of a shampoo bottle.

though i do remember seeing a website that sold special made aluminum plugs for this exact purpose be i'm afraid I can't remember what that website was or what the actually product was called.

I put DO cap because of the saying you need some DO for your BO (deodorant,body odor) haha
because i've read on this forum that you can use a deodorant cap or the top of a shampoo bottle with a clamp around it.
The shampoo bottle fits better.

sorry i can't be more helpful, maybe someone else can chip in

 

ha awesome. The information you provided is good enough for me. I wasn't aware the hole made by removing the donkey's private is small enough for a shampoo top to fit. I'll look into that more now, thanks!
