ill spray carb cleaner in the intake itll turn over but wont stay running, and it wont start at all if i dont, what can be the problem

before you trying and get it running, you need to do a tune up, all new fluids, new plugs, new wires, could be bad gas in the tank, if its a low amount try adding 1/2+ tank of premium, and some octane booster, if that doesnt work, you may need to dissasemble your carb and clean it out...

ummm, carb on a 88? if you did that, you are retarded.



but you need to tune the car up like nofx said.



how long has the car been sitting for? a month, 6 months, a year, 5 years? if more than a year, you will have even more problems once you start driving it. 5 years? it would not surprise me if the struts shot through the strut towers if you hit a pot hole.



tell us how long it has been sitting, and we can go further from there.

Yea best anyone can tell ya, until you hook us up with more info is Tune up and fresh gas.

it does not have a carb i am not retarded, i was just tryin to see if it had a spark, its got new fluids, i got the plugs i changed the fuel filter, its got octane booster, its been sitting at least 3 years but it got started every once in a while until i went away. could my fuel injectors be clogged?

it is fuel injected

is there any way i can clean my injectors without buying new ones?

my engine is not getting fuel to keep running i have a new fuel filter and im pretty sure my fuel pump works

what else can it be?

i have this same problem i have a t2 and i changed all the fluids and sparkplugs and oil...but my cars been sitting out for a year and i put in gas and i dont think its mixing with old gas cuz it didnt start at all until i put in new gas....anyways if i hold the key all the way on and leave it there it runs....i can drive it as long its held in place...wth is wrong with my car....

wow that is strange..well mine runs when i spray choke cleaner in the intake but wont stay on.im not so sure my fuel pump does work after all. someone told me i would hear it humming if it did work is this true? if its not the case could it be the injectors? or both?
