94 teg ls. sometimes itll fire right up, but others, it will just crank for a while before finally firing up. car sat for about a year not running. changed fluids, new battery when i got it running. what could be causing this? car is stock, and drives fine. its just the starting issue.
-
Have you looked at the contacts under the distributor cap? If you live in a wet/humid place they can corrode quite a bit while sitting.
And what about the gas? You get some fresh stuff in there?
-
Is the fuel pump priming ever time? Main relay could be on the way out but not totally fucked yet.
-
slapped on a new dizzy cap like a week after i got it back on the road. thought it went away, but continued doing it a day later. ill take a look at the contacts...im in ca, it can be humid, but its usually warm out.
it has fresh gas. ive been using the car for over a year now lol. i can hear the fuel pump prime every single time. cycling the pump a few times before i crank it doesnt seem to help any.
-
checked the dizzy, like i said it was new, all the contacts look fine. cleaned out the IACV and the throttle body a bit. nothing really changed, idle is a little low now lol. spark plugs and cables seem fine too. it does have a walbro pump in the tank, i threw it in there when it was turbo'd..could that be the culprit? fuel pressure is about 45psi i belive.

fuel filter gummed up?

well, my idle sits right at 650, i meant when i start it up the idle is low, it doesnt shoot up like it supposed to bc its cold. it kinda struggles when it actually starts, i have to give it some gas for it not to stall :?:

Ok wait until engine is warmed , up jump the harness under dash, set idle close to target,
Adjust ignition timing, then adj idle w/o IAC connected, make sure the throttle cable isn't to tight, then adj idle screw on tb.
You will get a CEL IAC disconnected. turn car off, then pull jumper, disconnect a fuse for backup for ecu, then hook up IAC.
Wait 30sec or longer, then start car see what ya get.

could it be the icm? :-\

Possible but would happen all the time :noel:
-
well idk then lol, only issue is starting. fucker runs fine once on. it is rather annoying tho :-\
-
still have the same issue, but now an added symptom. car hesitates under acceleration sometimes, randomly usually. it feels like all power just goes, and a second later...its fine :?:
-
Did you checo fuel pressure is at 45ish or remembering from back when it was turbo? I've had fuel pressure issues cause this.
-
fuel pressure at the fuel filter is 45-50
