- Wed Nov 17, 2010 6:08 pm #223323 hey today i started my car and the rpms was around 1700rpm and this was 30 seconds from starting it. i live in Washington so the air out side is cooler than most areas. anyways when i was watching my tac i noticed that it started bouncing from 1700 to 300 rpm. and i smelt some fuel. with that i pushed my accelerator pedal down so the to see if it bounced after i did that, and it just ended up stalling and dieing on me. if anyone has had this problem let me know what i can do. to fix it. and where and what the problem is. thanks
