Another No start-er

[SASHO91]

i went out to my car to leave to night, and i went to crank her and she didnt fire up... which she dosent on the first try... but the second try always fires up.... well she didnt this time.... tried a third time.... fourth..... 5th..... 6th....
and then i gave up... i didnt want to flood her too bad... which i already did... anyways... so i pull the no. 4 cylinder plug and it looks fine, other then havinfg the normal carbon on it. (i am going to change the plugs, which was gonna be this sunday) So were im at right now is, im getting air, fuel, and im not to sure about spark, but, it cranks, but just wont turn over. I disconected the battery, that way i can clear the codes, that were already on there.... I know i should have ran the codes before i disconected it, but oh well.....I want to get her running tonight.... no matter what.... thanks

did you happen to try to give it a little gas when you tried to crank it? mine has some trouble starting sometimes, and that's what i have to do to get it cranked

 

[SASHO91]

yep.... nothing either.....
i think it might be flooded..... im gonna go try her again.... be back in a minute

 

[SASHO91]

well no start again..... suggestions?

 

[Mike Jones Who?]

get rid of it j/k :laugh_ti: make sure nothing is disconnected, and this time i am going easy on you(humor from last topic post)

Looks like im on my own with this one....

 

[SASHO91]

well i got her started.. after a couple cranks.... and a mash of the peddle, she fired, and slowly crept up to 1k.... she had to find idle...
but i didnt notice that when she was at idle, the fuel pump toned down alittle, and when i gave her gas, she fumbled for a split second, but reved fine. could this be because of it being flodded?
either way im going to change the spark plugs right now....

Sounds like you probably have a fuel pump, FPR, or check valve problem. Flooring during a no-start is always worth trying since it shuts off the injectors in the event that there is any flooding.

i didnt floor it all the way, just alittle more than half gas...

Im going to be getting a 155lph pump as well. although i did see a 174 lph on ebay today....

anyways.. should i change my plugs to see what that does?

BUMP*

Well today i went ahead and changed the plugs out. I took the intake off, cleaned it out, a little bit.... and did the TB bypass.
well after a few hours i was done.... and a few cuts, and alot of bad words..... Its hard doing this by yourself.... anyways, i fire her up, she is running fine. I take her out for a spin....
then about a min after i get on the road the CEL comes on....
I pull over at the gas station, check under the hood to see whats up. checking all the sensors and what not.
I get back in a turn her on CEL is gone.... ok so i take her out agian. This time i let her eat alittle. but after i let off she drops down, to idle (this is in neutral) and drops past 500...then she dies. start he back up and i put her in 5th, and crusise along.
i come up to a stop sign, hit the clutch, and she drops to 500 again. but she gets back up to 1k and stays there.
this time i let her really open up. Wow she liked that alot. tires broke loose, hit second, and barked them really good.
I pull in to my house, and hit the clutch and she stumbles again...
What could this be?
Another thing i relized was that i forgot to tightne down the intake tube, to the TB.
I cleaned out the IAC, ( i think thats it) the thing right behing the TB....
what if i put a gasket on wrong, like that gasket for the IAC?
which i dont think i did....
Any suggestions?

also, when just sitting there.... when i rev up to 2k and let off, she will drop down to 500, then sometimes stall....

Any suggestions?

Start by reading the codes, then address your fuel-delivery problem.

One of your problems was you were letting in unmetered air into the TB with a loose clamp which would make it stumble and hesitate alittle. But it sounds like you have a few more problems besides it.
