TougeWarrior88 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hey whaddup guys so im having a problem.1988 Quest shp only upgrade i know of is wheel in turbo. So i havent drove her in like 3 weeks but i started her every week sometimes twice. So i finally drove her today i filled up the tank with 91. I drove from unioncity to sunnyvale easy no problem but at the exit after 2iono stop light she just died on me byt smoothly. I didnt even notice she died until i noticed gas pedal was giving gas. So i pulled over tried starting again she cranks fine but once on she dies in 2 seconds. Wli did this alot of times and a couple of times she stayed on but i had to pump the gas pedal but she eventually died again. I checked for fuel spark and were good there. Although the secondary injector clip got no power. You think replacing the clio would fix it? Btw i got her started for a little bit with my foot holding the gas but she was running like isht. I was also windering if could be maf or something with the intake. Cause my homies starion ran the same way with out his intake on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Could be a clogged fuel filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eirewolf Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think that if the secondary is out or not getting power, the ECU will shut the car off. If you unplug the TPS and it stays on ( with the engine light on ) it might be a secondary injector problem. I'm not an expert but I have seen that problem twice.

Starfighterpilot Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Check all of your intercooler/turbo/accordian hose/ OVCP to throttle body hose clamps for tightness. Check the OVCP to TB hose and the accordian hose for cracks or holes. How did you verify that the secondary injector clip was not sending a signal? With a noid tester? Also check the FPR hose coming of of the bottom of the FPR for gas or the smell of gas in it. If you've got gas the FPR bit the dust. For What It's Worth.

Starfighterpilot Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks guys imma check all that out when i get to work . And yes i did check my injectors with a noid light. Ill post up what find next. Just be aware that the secondary injector will not receive a signal unless the engine is under boost and the Starquest is movin' down the road or greater than 3100 RPM's criusin' down the highway. Reving it in neutral ain't gonna kick in the secondary injector. What Is the make and model of the noid tester that you used? I've been looking for one for my Old Broad but could never find a compatible one. For What It's Worth. KEN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TougeWarrior88 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 So i tried that tps test i had give my car little gas to stay on long enough. But she died instantly after removing tps. I also checked basic. Spark, fuel, compression. All good. Also replaced spark plugs. She ran slightly better but still she died on me. I cleaned my maf sensor.. no good still. i miss my car already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TougeWarrior88 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2012 So we started the car with maf unplugged it ran okay but i need to keep my foot on the pedal. Now they are telling me its the maf. But different like the valve springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
