car dies after start up
« on: January 22, 2005, 10:35:50 pm »
When i'm going around doing errands, if i start my car more then twice in 30mins it just dies.  I'll give it some gas and instead of the rev's climbing the car stalls, this can be done when the car is in neutral (so no it's not my driving  :P).  It's scary because recently my car has died in really horrible positions.  Anyone know what it could be?

I forgot to add, after it dies I need to crank it over 6+ times before it starts again.  The other day i pushed it down the hill in gear to start it up.  Could it have somthing to do w/ bad spark?

1. Check your plugs.  
2. Check your wires.
3. Test fuel system (pump, wiring, filter, FP regulator, etc)
4. ???

if that doesn't fix it, have a look at ECU and or some of the major sensors.

I don't know the 2g system all that well, but it sounds like something is mostly ok, but fritzes out when it gets hot.

If it was a 1g, I'd look at a fuel pressure solenoid or regulator, do you guys have those too(the solenoid)
