Starts, then stallspjs101974 06-12-2004, 12:00 PM Can anyone help me figure this out? The car will start, perform it's normal high idle, then the rpms gradually go down to a stall. Also if I depress the accelerator, it bogs down and stalls. Thank you for your help in advance!!! Joe W 06-12-2004, 10:21 PM Could use a little more info.Does it restart? Does the check engine light come on? When was the last tune-up? pjs101974 06-13-2004, 09:40 AM Hey Joe, thanks for your response! Here's the deal. The car has been sitting for about a year now, and I have been trying to bring it back to life. I performed a tune up on it, replacing the cap, wires, plugs, and rotor. I also replaced the fuel filter, and air filter. I even went as far as to pull the throttle body off and clean the idle control valve. It starts goes to it's normal high idle then gradually goes down and dies. It does restart with no check engine light. Hope this helps! gelcol 06-13-2004, 04:02 PM Hey Joe, thanks for your response!

Might solve your problem. In general, gas won't store that long. pjs101974 06-14-2004, 08:31 PM I ended up cleaning out the fuel injectors and putting some fresh gas in the tank. She's running well!
