Well ive been having this problem with my car. it all started out one day when i was at a light it just cut off on me. Well dat got worse, one day i was driving at like 30mph and it cut off. I push the gas in and try to start it and it did. Now i wont even stay on for more than 5 seconds without it cutting off. Ive changed spark plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition module, and ignition coil. A while back i had change Both O2 sensors, but i always kept trowing a code for them. but i doubt thats why car is not staying on. Well what else could it be. Oh forgot to say i also got an misfire/ignition problem engine code. Any help would be apreciated.

your main relay under the dash on the drive side

 

wat is this. ive heard about this. Something about if the insid of ur car gets to hot, and mine does. I live in florida and dont have tints. Maybe i need to get some. But dat main relay, wat is it. where can i buy it. is there a way to check if its faulty??

 

you buy it at your local auto part store, here is some help out on how to change it out. Its located under the dash by the steering collum. The main relays tend to go out over time and heat doesn't help it much either.

is it a simple change. do i need any special tools. and about how much do these run for, cuz ive wasted a lot of money in the car recently.

 

anybody?? can i do this myself without proffesional help

 

has anybody done this themselves

 

it is under the dash on the driverside all you need is a phillips screwdriver the one with the cross. a 10mm socket with rachet and extension and a little thing called initiative. and it is like 60.00 bucks

 

i dint realize that u gave me dat link. thanks. i took mines out and it looks like its never been changed. also have some stuff on it, like a real thick drip(some brown stuff) my car has 142000. i hope this is the problem, i am about to pick up the part at my local autopart store. i will be installin when i get hom from work. ill keep yall updated.

 

Well i just changed the main relay on the car and that dint seem to do anything. I went and got an alternator check, and its fine also. Did another computer check and it saying "Manufactures ignition problem or misfire". They told me to take it to an actual shop or the dealership for a dignostic. My problem is dat i dont think my car can make it that far. Im am begginin to think dat it could be one of these

> Injectors
> Timming belt going bad and need to be chaged ASAP.
>MAybe even a bad ground.
> I dont know wat else it could be.

I need some help!


Forgot to mention when i drove it to the autopart i felt a big power loss. dont know if that will help. Also i have what i would call like a hummin/whinning nosie whenever i am downshifting below 3k rpm. it goes away if i put it in neutral

The white tips on the spark plugs indicate you are running lean. Are you sure the spark plug wires were put on in the correct order?

Also since it seems you are getting less fuel than you should, check the injectors.

Check all your grounds. Even if they are tightened down they may not be getting good connection. Use steel whool and brush off the area where the grounds meet the frame to get good connection.

Last, check your battery and alternator. Make sure the wire under the little rubber cap on the alternator is getting good contact. You can also clean this area off with steel whool. I hope this helped. Good luck.

 

Here is an idea for you that you don't seem to have thought of. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND STOP BUYING RANDOM THINGS THAT ****MIGHT**** AND *****HAVE NOT***** fixed your car. Take it to a shop and pay the labour rate for an hour for them to diagnose the problem. Chances are good they will find it within one hour and give you a quote on what it will take to fix it and then you can decide if you want to buy the parts and do it yourself or have them do it there.

Honestly the money you have WASTED on tryingn to figure it out yourself could have been spent at a shop and had the problem all figured out by now.

P.S. learn english and how to spell. "dat" is ebonics

 

Well i just to0k it to a shop around here. They said that it could be a " cram sensor". IDK i never heard of dat. But anyways they are going to diagnose it. And about all the stuff that i have changed, it had to be changed sonner or later. my car has 150k mile on it. So hopefully none of the thing dat i changed go bad again

 

I just got back from the shop. they told me that it is my CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR in my dizzy. They said it happen becuz i have some oil in the dizzy. Is there anyway to stop oil from getting into the dizzy.

OO and where can i get this sensor. And how do i change it, or how does it lo0k

 

U NEED TO REPLACE THE DIZZY. SAME **** HAPPENED TO ME AND SEEMS LIKE THE SAME TROUBLE YOU HAVING. THE SENSOR IS BUILT INTO THE DIZZY.... YOU CAN GET A NEW ONE FOR AROUND 150$

 

where can i get a new dizzy at that price. let me know. everyone is asking for 300+
