ok guys so i just picked up this 91 coupe that has been sittin for 3 yrs
and was running (keep in mind it was runnin on 3yr old gas) and running shitty puttering and barley going so we figure hrmm he injectors must be clogged to fkn hell. so we take her down to the gas station and put 20$$ of fresh clean gas in her (we draned the bad gas out first) and she starts right up. well i had a can of sea foam motor treatment and decide to put half the can in the gas tank following the new gas then drop 3 quarters of the can in the oil cap. then start her back up shes running but still runnin shitty so i hold the gas down to get the new fluids flowing. im holdin her at about 3k and the rpms start to drop so i drop the gas a bit moar and the rpms come down faster. so at this point the pedal is to the floor and im at 1k i let off the gas to see if she will idle and she dies...... i ried to start her back up and its just turning over and not crankin. changed injectors out, fuel pump works, fuel rail is clean, fpr is good, fuel filter is clean.....i dont fkn get it i been workin on it for about a week n a half..... help me out guys

 

its automatic and still has the single cam in it

no one knows whats wrong with my car??

 

Check for spark, fuel, compression, and timing. Then get back to us.

 

ok, first of all, 23 views and no replies. that is what it is dude. dont get mad. some people just dont know. it happens.

anyhow. to the problem. did you follow the seafoam directions. i thought when you use it you are supposed to go out and drive it for like 10 or 20 minutes ***** out then come back and change oil, oil filter, and plugs???

Correct me if i am wrong.

Have you checked the plugs by the way? Wires? Cap and rotor?

Need more information.

 

yea i was about to follow them thats why i was reving it but right after i put it in i mash the gas and let off and it fkn dies and doesnt start back up

thats why im on here
checked the wires, not the plugs but cap n rotor yet

 

Instead of just visually inspecting random parts, check for spark.

 

i dont do visual
i physically check everything
swapped injectors and fuel rails twice
im going threw a check list process

 

check your compression and pull the fuse to the fuel pump in side the car i think a 15 and when u pull and plug it back in you should here it if not there is the problem check fuel pressure too

 

You say the fuel pump is good? have you physically looked at it? tested it?heard it? sitting for that long can cause varnish and gumming which no fuel system treatment at autozone can treat. PERIOD!

3 years of a car sitting can cause numerous problems.
i believe everyone is trying to ensure you have done a proper tune up.....cleaned, checked and flushed coolant. replace plugs,cap,rotor,wires.
check belts, alternator, battery.etc.

take it to the shop for a proper tune up, itll cost a couple hundred but youll walk away with hopefully a working car and a list of what you need to fix
