Problem starting my car
Hello,
I have a 1998 Oldmobile Intrigue. i've been having problems starting my car only when the engine is hot and it's been off for several minutes. in the morning when the engine is cold it's starts with no problems but once i drive to work and then try to start it on my break it give me a hard time, i have to give it a bit of gas in order for it to start. i changed the fuel pump, spark plugs and cables. its hase cost me close to a thousand dollars in repairs but the problem is still there. it's a very weird problem and i don't know what else to do it's costing me too much money. when i try to start the car i turn the key and it's like there is no the fuel is not igniting and it only starts when i step on the accelerator a bit. please if there is anyone out there that has any idea what the problem with my car is please write me back i would greatly appreciate it. thanks!! |

I am at a lost as to what you could have spent a thousand dollars on and yet not accidentally replaced whatever is faulty, but have you checked the TPS. If it is giving a WOT signal during crank, the ECM will keep the injectors turned off for clear flood mode. Moving the throttle a little may get the TPS off of the bad spot and allow fuel to be delivered. As with many electronic parts, it may only be acting up once it reaches a certain temperature, so check it while it is hot. I think the voltage signal should be less than 1.0 volts at closed throttle. -- Kevin Mouton Automotive Technology Instructor "If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy" Red Green |
