Stalling to start

Phoenix_23 · September 17th, 2011, 03:02 AM

I have one important ? I been wondering my car has been stalling when I turn the key to start ive asked my mechanic but everything he tried hasnt worked

I"ve been having trouble with my engine bogging down on me while driving. I've had suggestions that it might be the MAF sensor. After reading up on it, I noticed that one of the symptoms of a bad sensor is stalling at start. You might check that.

Ive checked that they said it makes lose hp if its dirty but its pretty clean

might be bad gas, or some buildup in your fuel system. seafoam it and see if it gets any better.

Phoenix_23 · September 17th, 2011, 08:32 PM

Whats seafoam ? & how u do that ?

Green_6er · September 17th, 2011, 09:45 PM

There are numerous threads about seafoming. Use the search feature. Also, learn how to type proper English.

Define stalling. Like starting slowly, or starting, then immediately dying?

If it is starting slowly, get you battery tested. If the battery is good, you have something dragging. Take you belt off (just off the crank pulley. No need to take it completely off.) and if it starts normal speed, then an accessory is dragging. Start hand spinning pulleys until you feel one drag.

Like to start the battery is good

I dont think i would try seafoam if its having a problem starting. if its stalling at startup seafoam might keep it from turning it over seeing as how the car try to start with seafoam in the lines. unless its just in the gas.

vaccuum leak?

Phoenix_23 · September 19th, 2011, 03:46 PM

What a vacum leak ?

spaseghost · September 19th, 2011, 07:24 PM

those little rubber hoses that are all over the top of your engine are vacuum hoses. one of those might be disconnected or corroded, causing a leak in the intake system. do you have a check engine light on?

Phoenix_23 · September 19th, 2011, 08:48 PM

No I dnt I just cleaned my air control valve like this guy on here told me & it worked
