when i start up my car it will rev up to 500 rpm then die. it keeps on doing this unless i give it some gas, well that used to work up until today, i have to keep it at 3k rpm for a few secs for it to idle at all (then it will idle at about 250 and the whole car will shake badly) , also iv been hearing a high pitch sound that has been gettin louder for a few weeks.... WHAT IS WRONG! the idle problem has been hapening since winter but just got worse this month. its almost unstartable now. PLEASE HELP ME!

ok i just talked to a mechanic, he said most likely its sensors so i gotta bring it to a place and hook it up. besides the cold start issue he said its actully running perfectly. the egr valve is not the problem, it works fine. so ill be finding out soon.
o yea and to that post earlier about revving it up high to about 6k. i found out that is quite damaging to the engine from a cold start. there isnt enough time for the oil to move around and all that good stuff. so any one here with a simlier problem make sure u dont do , youl just be taking miles off the life of your engine |
