I've had a problem with my car for the past month, and nothing we have had done seems to work.
The problem: - Very low, and rough idle. - Stalling. - The engine cuts out no matter if I am stopped at a redlight, or if I am accelerating. It can be fine one day, but terrible the next. If it cuts off, I can wait a few minutes and it comes back on. If I let it sit for 30+ minutes, it will work for the rest of the day and possibly the next. When it cuts off it's very random, and it forces me to not go to work, or I am late to work. I'm about to lose my job. Things I have had done: - I've had the injectors cleaned or something. - New fuel pump. - Replaced PVC Valve. - Replaced IAC Valve. Things it's not: - The battery, or connections. - The alternator, or connections. Now they're telling me the distributer. Any other ideas? Discuss. I totally put this in the wrong section, could one of the mods please move it? This post has been edited by Jen: Apr 28, 2007 - 4:31 PM -------------------- |

Sounds like a fuel problem... or lack thereof. Did you check the fuel filter yet? Easy way to do this is to unbolt the top bolt on the fuel filter then crank the car (so the fuel pump fires). If you have fuel spray... then there's something else wrong. If not... then it's probably your fuel filter... assuming your new fuel pump is in working order.
