Whne the car starts up it acts like is is going to die then, I get a cel and the car runs fine then, I get a code 5. And when I turn on the headlights the car will die?
The car is an 88 hf with an 89dx motor and si manifold with a with a si ecu.

 

1. How did this start?

2. What have you done to the car already to try to fix this?

Well I had a code three and five but, I T one of the vaccum line and that fix the code three problem. But, I don't know what to do about the code five. And the problem started when I did the dx with si manifold and si trany into an hf.

 

sounds like you should check your intake manifold gasket. it may have gotten pinched and is leaking. try spraying carb cleaner around the gasket area with the engine running and see if any rpm changes. if so its leaking. check also your vacuum line to the map sensor make sure no leaks and the sensor is still good.

 

I also have a cel?

 

can i get a little help here

 

try changing your map sensor!

That's stupid advice is'nt it?

Don't change anything. First answer the questions i have posted then indicate what code you are pulling.

its not stupid, code 5 is the map sensor

 

try your vaccum lines....having lines wrong could throw a code 5...
