wondering if you all could point me in the right direction...one day at work I was leaving, went to start the car....it just kept turning over, so after a few tries and pumping the gas I finally got it going, drove fine...
A few days later I was coming through my neighborhood and got into boost pretty hard in second gear, the car kinda hesitated when it got deep into the power band...I let off and the car turned off....
Car started right back up but idled kinda funny for a second, So I gave it some gas and it smoothed out, got it to the gas station about 1/4 mile from my house...it died again.
This time it took quite awhile to get it started, finally limped home with the car sputtering, and the rpm's jumping all over the place..so here I am now, The car will start...idles kinda choppy when it's cold, after a few minutes it's fine....it'll drive for 10-15 minutes or less and then starts the dieing shit again...I have to let it sit for 20 minutes or so after that to get it started. Hell sometimes it'll start right back up, but I have to turn the ignition all the way off, take the key out and stick it back in to get it to start, then it just starts and dies after 30 seconds or so..anyways after the 20 minutes I let it sit it'll start and drive again fine for a bit and dies, If i start the car and let it sit outside in the parking lot idling, after 15 minutes or so the car will just turn off...sometimes the interior light on the roof will flicker as well when the car dies, but I think the sensor on the door is messing up
Fuel pump comes on, the relay clicks...I have fuel pressure on my guage, spark plugs look fine...any clues to what it could be?!?! any things I can check or test to figure out the problem and fix it??
Also when I do get the car driving and I get into boost...it's def not getting enough power...feels like the 300 horsepower dropped to 150 horse power
THANKS GUYS!
