hot start

brs86supra · 03-13-2006, 01:19 PM

after driving about a half an hour or so, and then when i cut the car off then leave it for a while, when i go into the store, then go back out and try to start it, the car idles rough and cuts off then i turn it on again and does the same thing so i press the gas and it putters and then shuts off. then i turn it on again and put it into drive, then press on the gas it accelerates real slow. could it be that i need to change the fuel filter, or something else, the car has 144k miles on it, and i dont think that it has been changed before, what else could it be?

does anyone have any clue to what this problem could be i cant figure it out. going to chang the fuel filter tomorrow and see what that does. is there an easier way of changing the filter besides lifting the car up off the ground, its kinda hard to get to

are your cars turbo?
have you both done diagnostics?

check for boost leaks or check the air flow meter is correctly plugged in

have either of you done the 12 volt mod to the fuel pump?

my car is not a turbo. 86.5 NA
i havent done a 12volt mod to the fuel pump. and the AFM is plugged in properly as well. mrnickleye said it could possibly be an EFI or ECU problem. I know mine is not a vacuum leak, I replaced every line and nothing leaks. My fuel filter was changed not too long ago as well, and the problem persisted.

diagnostic?

kewlcoconut · 03-15-2006, 11:41 AM

i havent done a diagnostic. what exactly would it tell me? would it narrow down the possible problems that it could be?
----------Errrrr Edit

brain is a little slow tonight...its like 4am. thought you were talking about running dyno tests...ugh i need sleep haha. i havent done a diagnostic recently because my engine light isnt on. being as stupid as i am, i didnt think of checking it. i will check it out tomorrow afternoon, see if i get a blink or two.
