just wondering what would cause my car to stall almost right away when i start it up... itll crank over, fire, and idle for like a second and then it gradually dies out... if i give it gas it wants to die also... what could be causing this? '91 hatch w/ d16z6... im leaning towards either my tps or my map sensor... but i dont think it would start at all if it were my map sensor... thanks guys

if your map was bad you'd just get a cel. You can unplug the map sensor and run the car without it to be sure, car will just run like shat.

When you turn your key to the on position (but not cranking) the check engine light should come on and when it goes out you should here a click. The click is the main relay, if you don't hear the click then its not coming on and your not getting fuel.

Turn your radio and heater/ac off and you should be abel to hear if the relay makes the click or not.

 

the fuel pump is priming and i am hearing a click... does this mean that my main relay is good or can it still be bad?

alright im going to go try to start it again... heres another question for you guys... i have no cel but if i go to check the codes a solid CEL comes on... i know that it means that the computer is fried but it did this the other day but ran fine for another 2 days... could it be my ecu? would it even start up if the ecu is fried? if i unplug one of my sensors the cel will come on and read the right code and everything... would a dead ecu even read codes? oh well im gonna be getting a z6 throttle body here soon so ill try that out also
