stalling at start-up no CEL
Posted: Tue Sep 15, 2009 1:13 am
It was raining for a few days and I hadn't used the car for a few days. When I went to start it the other day it started and promptly stalled. I was like "hum". Started it back up and it ran. Gave it some throttle and it reved fine and idled fine. When I started driving it was running retarded. I could feel no power then power holding the gas pedal in the same place. I went down the street and opened it up and it seemed fine from there.
The same thing happened today. Stall at startup then hesitation, then fine after 1 minute or so.
I went and bought 4 new plug and some oil to change it. I plan to clean out the k&n too.
Many of you know this whole motor is practically brand new. I've replaced litterally every sensor save the cam and crank angle ones.
I've been reading up on here about cleaning out the EGR valve. This is the one thing I NEVER cleaned when I rebuilt the engine so its got to have 160k miles on it. It is an absolute mofo to get to so I have been avoiding it.
The other thing is that I can see the RPM pretty accurately with the apexi and it idles at like 640 in gear and around 700 in neutral. I know its supposed to be around 800 ish. What do you think about that?
you're thoughts?
