Problem is driving me nutz. yesterday I drove home like normal, then I wanted to leave a few hours later and the car wouldn't start.
you crank it and it sounds like it wants to start. if you hold the accelerator about 3/4 of the way it will start but revs to 4000 rpm and barely stays running, chugs and almost sounds like its missing out. have replaced
plugs, wires, filters. fuel pressure is good almost 50 psi at all times so i really dont think it is the pump but its almost like the pump was going out. occasionaly it will start and idle but when i touch the gas it dies.
NO CODES so i am going crazy. any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Josh
