when i start up my car it will rev up to 500 rpm then die. it keeps on doing this unless i give it some gas, well that used to work up until today, i have to keep it at 3k rpm for a few secs for it to idle at all (then it will idle at about 250 and the whole car will shake badly) , also iv been hearing a high pitch sound that has been gettin louder for a few weeks.... WHAT IS WRONG! the idle problem has been hapening since winter but just got worse this month. its almost unstartable now. PLEASE HELP ME!

check timing for sure, but it dose sould like the alternater but that woudl not cause the car to die, just not charge the battery and the sensors/stuff would lose power. you could have carbon build up on your spark plugs, like really bad bild up, that would kill the engien. i doubt that its a wire prob but its worth checking. try checking if its getting fuel, easy way to check fuel pump is to unplug the fuel line and put it in a bucket then try and start the car. worse case could be that you bent a valve a little and its messing it all up, or even the rod, just bending it a little would cause horrible shaking, and kill the motor, also it would run better the faster it spins cause it would flex into alingment with the force.
best advice i could give is tow it to a mechanic/pro i spent like 5 days testing stuff on my dead engine only to grind the clutch out, and realize the engien is beyond repair, and i half to wait 5 days more then i would have to get it back. ![]() -------------------- ![]() |
