Car Starting Then Striaght Away Cutting Out

[drf76]

does the car run above idle when u hold it constantly at say 3000rpm or does it just act the same as on idle and stalls and when it stalls is just a straight cut or does it stumble or starve like its not getting fuel. Could be fuel pump if it starves but if it just stalls it most likely a sensor, have you checked the crank angle sensor at all, wiring/plug etc, if thats not right there's no fuel or spark and instant stall.

I can't get it to run, so i can't hold it at 3000rpm, it just instantly stalls =/ It sounds like it's starting fine, which sujests no spark problems but it just cuts out striaght away =/

Hey Michael

Was talking to dad this morning and he recommends that with regards to your starting issues try cleaning the throttle body - he said that's the first place he would start with your symptoms and without actually looking at the car.

check afm plug

reset ecu

I'm still thinking its the afm or associated wiring.

Yeah dad said that but if he has tested it and all working fine he said to start at the throttle body clean. They can get real dirty and present problems overnight

It was giving soem weird readings =/

Thisafter noon should tell if it's the AFM, i'm putting in a mates, however if it's teh signal, then that woudlnt' be the AFM right??? =/

Hmmm all pulgs are fine, (especcially the AFM) and i tried resetting the ECU on the day this first happened =/

Did you say you couldn't get the low volt afm reading though?

i.e they were all the same 12v?

Ahh well at least your learning and saving some $$ as you go.

You'll get to the bottom of it.

[Michael_1882]

( fingers crossed) yeah it was the low reading that was really high, hence there wasn't really a low reading =/

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FOUNDTHE PROBLEM!

Pulled out the AFM and air box, wacked in my mates, and it didnt' even stutter at first started straight away =)

Thankyou everyone for you imput.

awesome

now do a search for "+solder +afm" and you should find a thread i posted in about fixing your afm with simply a knife and a soldering iron
