whats up guys i have an 87 gxl it sat for about 2 months and wouldnt start so i did what i did with my last rx7 took the plugs out turned it over blew all that crap out then put them back in didnt work..... the starts up and runs for about 3 or 4 seconds then dies and i can do that over and over again until the battery dies you guys got any suggestions i need some help PLEASE!!!!!

 

rebuild

 

Will it run if you stay on the gas?



Why do you even bother replying with this crap?

 

if it was mine, i'd look at the fuel system first, its like it gets fuel when you're cranking, but not when you let go of the key?

 

no sometimes if i touch the gas it dies right away sometimes i can rev it then it dies and yes thats kinda what im thinkin too as soon as i let go of the key it will die about 3 or 4 seonds after it starts where should i start with the fuel system?? any suggestions

 

i'd maybe hook up a fuel pressure gauge, or some way to tell if its getting fuel pressure after you let go of the key.



from you description it could also be a vacuum leak of some kind too.

 

yeah i was thinkin maybe a vacum leak also alright cool well ill try that with a pressure guage thanks alot i appreciate it not many people can tell me anything about these cars no one knows anything about them

 

After checking fuel pressure I would make sure ECU is getting signal from air flow meter. As for a vacuum leak, I think that it would have to be a really big leak if the car won't idle at all. Usually a small leak will increase idle speed.

 

i agree with what was said earlier, check the MAF, vacuum lines and fuel pressure. if you haven't replaced the fuel pusation dampener it might be toast.
