So, this morning i went out to my car to warm it up before leaving, and it cranked over, started idling, i got out and as i was walking away, it idled up high, then low, then high, then low, then died. i walked back over and tried again, it started, then when i pushed the accel, it died.

i went back out about 15 minutes later and it started up fine, idled fine, but when i blipped the throttle it stalled out on me.

i'm gonna start diagnosis, wondering if you guys had any ideas to help me get to school faster.

thanks

 

Do you have any radiator hoses leaking? My 92 did that a few years ago. It turned out that there was a tiny pinhole in a coolant hose that was spraying directly onto the plugs that connect to the sensors. I let it dry and put in a new hose, and it stopped. It must have been shorting the sensors that communicate with the ecu or something.

I would check that first. If that's not the problem, hopefully someone else has experienced this due to other causes and can chime in.
