This has to be a faulty Wire!!! Has anyone got a suggestion which wire it could be?

Decebal · #1 07-28-2004, 08:46 AM

All of my mechanical fixes have not worked!

I have replaced every sensor on the car, ECM twice, Feul Pump and filter, and now I am left with only the possibility of a faulty wire.

Symptoms: The car starts and runs for about 15 to 45 sec, while the car is running it idles like s**t!!! Stumbles, and is very inconsistent in the running.
After that it stalls.
I am thinking it is a broken wire, that shorts when it is starting and keeps on shorting until the engine cannot take it anymore.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds vacuum related to me. Check all your lines and don't forget the ball in the driver's side bumper.

I got all new gaskets and checked all of the lines including the ball.

Any other ideas???

Thanks

Did u replace IAC Motor?

Have you had the fuel pressure checked after the fuel pump replacement?

How is the wire going to the coil? Possibly loose or corroded?

How about plug wires? replaced? coil packs, ignition module? had those checked? Is your feul presure regulator vacuum line hooked up? It could even be an internal engine problem like low or no compression. Possibly bad head gasket. could be any number of things.

ok the same thing is happening to me, did u replace the iac yet if not disconnect the vacuum line that goes to the cruise control and see what happens, I am just wondering if we are having the same problem..

I have had all of the above checked, I dont think it is low compression.

Have you checked to see if there are any hard codes? Is the MIL coming on?

the~~kidd · #10 07-30-2004, 03:29 PM

yes there are no codes showing well except egr valve..all i did was disconnect the vacuum hose to the cruise control and works fine

Have your ignition module tested. And the coil packs.

no now i assume it has to be my ball like everyone else is saying i have a 93 and it has about 15 on it so it sounds right to me cause once i disconnect that hose it runs just fine.. well still a lil ruff but that cause of the air gettin out
