Re: 2000 ZX2 wont stalls and then will not start
FYI: Normally when you hold the accelerator pedal to the floor before cranking on a fuel-injected vehicle, it tells the computer to keep the fuel pump off. It's a "feature" designed to help clear a flooded engine.
When you say "lost power and stalled" do you mean it just stalled or that the vehicle lost acceleration power before stalling ? Does this only occur during acceleration, coming to a stop or does it matter at all ? When you say "tried moving the clutch around and still nothing" I assume you mean it was a crank but no start at that point or was it a no crank ? Is the vehicle overheating ? How do the spark plugs look ? Grey, black, scortched, white, over-gapped ? If it has been overheated might want to run a compression test. How many miles on it and when was the last time the timing belt was serviced... or does this vehicle have a chain ?
Could be a number of things but if it was a crank but no start after stall... but then started right up like a champ ten minutes later it could be something related to the fact that it got a chance to cool down... or sit long enough for the cylinders to clear. Might want to change that oil again after you figure out what it is. Could also have the oil tested for presence of coolant though. Could be something electronic like a module. No way to know for sure without further testing.
