if you give it gas will it start? or stay on?


if so my brothers gsr was doing this it would start and turn right off. but if he would give it little gas itll stay on.

I replaced his IACV and it starts and idles just like from the factory.

Forgot about that ^ definately try cleaning it, if it doesn't fix it then replace it. Also try the adjustment screw.

Or when you turn the key all the way forwar it fires then when you let the key go back to the 3rd position it dies? If so then it's the ignition switch.

thats exactly what it does...sometimes when i start it up and leave my foot on the gas pedal it will stay on..it just needs that 1 big rev when the motor starts and it will stay on..

Idle air control valve FTW!

You can get it off and b or d series as long as its Multi Point Fuel Injected.

The plugs are the same. Just to be sure. get it off an obd-1 vehicle

Check the distributor, might be the rotors or the cap itself, replace mines and runs like a champ.
