NudeLobster Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 hey guys....I haven't really been on here at all in the past year. The quest hasn't run reliably in a long while and had to sit waiting at home while I was at school for the year. Now This summer I got the car running, driving, and then it shut off on me. It was idling to warm up and just died like I pulled the key. no shaking, sputtering, anything. It starts up but dies instantly. It just does the initial rev up. It has 40psi fuel, spark, all timing is correct... I think its electrical in the idle control system. Either way, I need a reliable car to get me to work for my internship next month as well as back and forth to/at school. Thus, this girl needs to go. The suspension has been restored, sandblasted, por15'd, color coated, and rebuilt with all new OEM hardware, poly bushings, MK1 strut braces (both), D2 coilovers, SHP 9 rears, 7 fronts, drilled and slotted rotors, SS brake lines, toyo proxes 4 tires with 40% tread left. .

I think there may be stuff I'm missing too. only issues are rust. I found the PO filled rust holes in the frame rails with bondo. Cleaned em out, grinding them clean, and I have one patched and boxed it with seam and plug welded 16ga steel. I have the patches pre cut for the other rail, just needs to be welded on. I'm asking for 4k obo. once you fix its current problem, break in the motor, and then properly tune the MAFT, This thing will rape. It breaks loose on my driveway on a rough tune just taking off.

clow340 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 that was happening to me on my car but what mine was was a bad 1g MAS. the computer has a default circuit to get it to start, but then needs the signal from a MAS, or in your case the MAFT, to stay running. try that maybe? good luck on the sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
