*Shot in the dark*
Main relay


...and take this as proof that starting a cold car and revving it to 5000rpm is not the smartest thing to do.

 

i had 10min to get to school.. what do u think it could be? it has spark and new battery? what else could it be?

 

you had ten minutes to get to school, so you cold revved it to 5 grand? are you 16? you should let it idle for at least 15 seconds before ever touching the gas if it hasnt been run in several hours. take your fuel rail/injectors off the intake manifold, turn the engine over and see if fuel squirts out.

 

didnt rev it high enough....

j/k its probably main relay

What the heck do you mean by this?

 

where is thew fuel rails...?

 

on the intake mainfold, fuel rail is on top of all the feul injectors.


honelsty if you don't know what a fuel rail is then i think you should take your car to a mechanic who knows what he is doing.


I let my car idle, when i cold start it, for at least 3 minutes before touching the gas. When i start up and the engine is still warm i still let it idle for 45 seconds before touching the gas.

 

well i know alo about it but its throttle body i only have 2 injectors i dont think its has a fuel rail... how else can i check if it has gas to the spark plugs

 

using 2 usernames is

 

you hae to see if the fuel is getting into your combustion chamber....so you will have to pull off your fuel rail and injectors...then cranck your engine over....see if fuel is coming out of the injectors.

i recommened having 2 ppl helping....and point the injetors in something like a milk jug. see if both are shooting fuel or not? from there you can find out if you have fuel, did you check your compression on all cylinders?....just asking

If anyone else has a better way, please speak up as i don't know if my way is the best way.

 

do u have a check engine light.check ur ecu and c if itd throwing codes.the ecu has a led light on it and will flash. a long flash means 10, and fast flashes mean 1.

Against the TOS too. That can get you thrown off h-t.

 

anyone with any help please?

 

Check the main relay. You're next question will be how...do a search.

Then check the timing belt...its possible the cold stiff belt jumped a tooth.
