I drove my buddy to the airport about 40 miles out and back with the AC on. The car drove fine with no issues, but when i got back onto base I upshifted into 4th and gave it gas and and it fell on its nose bogging. It acted like an intercooler pipe came off. So i came to a stop on the side of the road and took a look at it. All intercooler connections looked good and sealed. So i check my vaccuum lines, all those look good and sealed. So i try to crank it and it fires off, sputters and dies. When i turn my key to ON you can hear the fuel pump prime. So I sit there waiting on my friend to get there with some tools. When he got there, I went to demonstrate how the car was acting and it crunk right up. I drove it down the road with him following me and drove it back to the parking lot. There is a left hand 90 degree corner coming up so I pressd in the clutch to grab second and slow down for the corner and it died again. So i tried starting it up and it caught fire and died again and again. The car is sitting in my work parking lot now but I have no clue what it may be. Anyone have any suggestions? IAC? Wiring? Any help regarding this is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the novel thread.

 

It sounds like a fuel problem. When's the last time you checked/replaced your fuel filter?

 

check ya grounds too, did your check engine light come on?

 

What fuel pump do you have? Stock?

 

Deng. +1 on the fuel filter. Maybe check your map and ignitor? tps?

 

No lights came on before the car died. Yes its the stock pump but i hear it prime everytime i turn it to ON. I noticed after it sits a while it will start just fine but maybe about 5-7 mins of driving it dies on me. i have bought a new fuel filter for it yesterday will replace this weekend once i get the time.

 

if you need 1jz tps, i have one for sale

 

how much you looking to get for the tps?

 

my dad thinks it may be a fuel filter. its easy to get to and i already have a new one. so im going to change that and see what she does. keep ya posted

 

You said after it sits a while it'll start up fine and run good for about 5 min. It sounds like after it cools it runs fine till it warms up. Maybe ect sensor goin bad and affecting ur fuel ratio. Just a guess. I'm pretty sure a trouble code would have appeared and ur engine light would come on. Good luck dawg it does sound fuelish.

 

PMd u back

 

tried to change the fuel filter yesterday and the fittings didnt wanna loosen up. i had my 14mm wrench on there and was tugging away and the damn wrench would slip off the fittings. so i quit before i screwed up and rounded my fittings off. gotta get some line wrenches i guess. read about the fuel filter thread about it pouring gas out. def going to try and loosen the gas cap first and see if that works. my SC has 1/2 tank in it now. i cant get it to a shop since its dying out on me so i gotta do it in a parking lot at an apartment.
