Sounds familure....

I know you said before, mention anything and everything possible, no mater how simple it may be.:rolleyes:

The car i've got does the same thing if you don't gas it right, but if you keep at it i can get it to start, and run. It never gets up and goes the first time. Backfires about 2-3 times then dies. But if you keep on the gas and rev it for about 10-15 seconds and let it go. The idle drops off to about 600 rpm then fixes it's self and runs.

You may have a more severe problem then we had, and Febo and i have rounded it out to 2-3 things. BISS and ISC motor both being bad, along with ECU about to go out on us.

Double check timing, fix the grounds if you can find any, if not make some of your own. And let us know how everything works!!

Also, do you idle surge, or did you iddle surge on the old car? And what all got transfered from one car to the other?

Was it just an engine tranny ONLY swap? If so some of the above items may be totaly shot. also, vacuum lines. They could be cracked, pinched, or otherwise missing.

Even if i hold the pedal down all the way, it makes no diference. The car won't get passed 500 or so rpms

Could it be because the gas has gone bad in the car. It was sitting for a while.

How long is a while?


And also, it wasn't holding the gas down, you had to tap it for some reason, UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN-UP-DOWN as FAST as humanly possible. Hence taking 15+ attempts to start it.

I've had gas in a vehicle for 9 months and it fired right up after the lines charged. Never had so much presure in a tank in my life though. Maybe you got some water in it. Try draining it, putting in a couple galons with a little bit of HEAT in there. Nice thing is, not only does it prevent freezing, it also removes water from the gas.:D

He said he filled it up about a month before I bought it, so not as long as i thought. But all the fuel lines were open, so water in the gas is a definite possibility. I'll try your method of pumping it fast. I have an extra CAS that came with the car, so I'm going to install that and see what happens. I'm stumped so far though.

Have you done a compression check? Made sure you are getting gas in all 4 cylinders, made sure you are getting spark in all 4 cylinders?

This is simple~

3 things to make a engine run... Compression, Spark and Fuel. If it has all that, then it is timing related.
