alp247 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 hmmm when mine did this i found out it was my igniter box. I couldn't keep mine in idle even if i tried to hold the accelerator pedal down...it would just die. FYI have you checked the codes and see what you are getting.

white quest ky Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Check the codes I didnt think it had obd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadrab Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm assuming this is a naturally aspirated 2.6 engine, correct? Is it stock? Just as a first pass, I'd say there's a vacuum leak somewhere. That spaghetti tangle under the hood is notorious for leaking somewhere. Our old buddy, the Mikuni carb could need to be rebuilt, too. Give us some more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alp247 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Sorry I was assuming you had the turbo. I didn't realize you had the N/A so i was going with what experience i had. Despite that i would assume you could still pull codes but you need a scanner if you have a obd. I like to know what my vehicle is telling me so i can have any idea of where to start unless it's not telling me anything then that's where the pain starts. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadrab Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Sounds like a fuel issue anyway. How old is the fuel pump? It's pretty easy to change on that thing. Fuel filter could be clogged as well. Has it been sitting for any prolonged period? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
