Hey all,
For the past month my car has had trouble starting. It would crank and crank and crank and finally start. when I turned the ignition on and let it prime, it would start right up. I figured low fuel pressure. One night on my way home, it would not crank at all. I ended up having it towed to a friend's repair shop and he told me my ignitor went bad. I had him replace that. That made it crank right up but it still had a long crank time. On my way home, the car started skipping like it isnt't getting fuel. It does it the most in gear sitting still or when I really punch the gas. I replaced the fuel pump tonight. First drive it worked great. I decided to reset my fuel/air ratio, so I did that. Right after that it started skipping again. I got out and drove it and it has the same symptoms as before. It is a 1994 GT 2.2 non-cali emissions AT tranny. It is completely stock except for a K&N drop in filter. In the past year it has had a water pump, distributor, spark plug wires, ignitor, and now a fuel pump. The plugs themselves are around 2 years old. Quick help would be appreciated as this is my daily driver. Thanks! |

I cleaned the intake out tonight. I just replaced the fuel filter like 2 weeks ago before I replaced the fuel pump. It is mainly happening at idle. I'm at a total loss. It isn't throwing any codes or anything. It just wants to die at idle. It seems like the delayed start has gone away. What is consistently happening is that after I drive the car 30 min or so it heats up sufficiently and it starts falling on its face whenever I pull to a stop or slow crawl. It just doesn't want to stay cranked at really low RPMs. In park, it idles at about 900rpms and in gear around 500-700. It did improve after I cleaned the intake and vacuum lines.
