As of late my car has been stalling here's the story...

If it is cold out and it is the first time I'm starting the car for the day the car will have absolutely no trouble and will idle at about 1750 rpms until warm. If it is warm outside, or the car is warm from being started earlier it will start go to 1750 rpms and then die (happens about every other time I start it). Sometimes I can keep the car alive by giving it gas, but most of the time it just dies and I start it up again. This is mainly only a problem when the weather is warm out even if the car is already warm and the weather is cold then the stalls are rare and far apart.

The past few days the car has becoming increasingly harder to start. Sometimes when it starts it will only go to ~1000 rpms then die. Sometimes I have to let the ignition rest for a few minutes before I start it again or it will just turn over and not start. Today I tried about 7 or 8 times to start the car with no success. Even if I give it gas to stay alive it will still just die. The idle isn't ruff for the second or two that it is running so I'm leaning away from a leaky injector and thinking that it's the EACV, but opinions and help from the experts would be much appreciated.

Thanks

most likely the main fuel relay. it is common.

 

Distributor is gunna go... atleast thats what happened to me.... it did it for liek 2 weeks then the distributor went... not a cheap fix either >

 

How would the main relay being at fault explain the temp factor in this problem?

I recently removed the distributor and everything looked good on it, but what do I know about a health distributor. And this problem has been happening for months, but not as much recently because it's been cold. The past few days have been warm though so it's become a problem again.

Are there other threads out there about stalling that someone could link me to so I can read up?

Thanks

 

do a search on main relay..and see if you are having the same symptoms.

 

Searched and found that people having symptons somewhat similar to mine were having problems with the main relay.

Also found this, "Even if your relay clicks, there is still a possibility that the solder joints are bunk. They will go hot and cold (open and closed) depending on the ambient temps at the realy. Its soooooo easy to just resolder all the joints on the bottom of the circuit board in the relay (10 mintue job), that I would not go any further until such time as you have done this."

I'll go ahead and check out my main relay the next time I get a chance.
