The title explains the problem. It is one of my dads cars and he is a retired mechanic (much older and cant get around anymore) and theres only so much he can tell me and say but he really doesnt care if it works, he's got a ton of other cars but I'd like to get this going for him.

I need ideas guys!

What happens when you try to keep it running buy feathering the gas pedal?

You can't just feather it, it stalls. If you floor it then it will rev but then instantly stall after revving.

Rick

Same thing on my 93 and 98.
93 was a clogged fuel filter and after market alarm.
98 was a bad battery.
Hope yours is one of these because they are an easy fix!

Yea i figured it'd be a fuel issue. Fule Filter, Pump or relay. So we'll check them three first then we'll check the intake, hoses and all. I guess its time for process of elimination!

Rick

could also be ign switch.

Even if it starts?

Rick

Yes because the switch has start position then run position. if problem with run position not feeding B+ then it will only run in start position and die the second you place in run.I dont know if thats your problem but it does happen so I dont want you to miss possible cause.

alright thanks i'll tell my fathr that!

Thanks for all the responses guys

Rick

A bad crankshaft position sensor will cause that as well
