My car very rarely ever starts up the first time and stays running. It'll start up and like 5 seconds later die. I can keep it going by taping the gas but no matter how light the tap, it always revs up to about 2 grand. Also, sometimes when my car has been stiting for several hours at night and I go to start it the next morning, it won't start. I have a fuel cut-off swich that I switch and that fixes it. Anyways, my friend said that its probably because I have leaky injectors. Does this sound right? Thanks!

Sounds like it.. An extreme case if true.

How is your switch setup? Fuel pump relay interrupt? Or EGI Fuse interrupt?

Umm, it was actually installed before I got the car, and I don't know **** about cars, but I'd assume its a fuel pump relay interrupt because he told me that it shuts off the fuel pump. Is there any other symtoms that that woudl cause, like bad gas mileage? Thanks!

You have 2 different problems. Flooding and the idle problem. On cold start it will rev high with a cold start. Usually up to 3.5K then drops in few seconds to 2K. Then down to normal 750.


Next time it won't start and if you have time, remove one spark plug from each rotor. If it is fouled lightly or more its prolly leaky injector(s). Fix is having them serviced.

I have the exact same problems with my car. Really hard to start and won't start after sitting for hours. I just need to figure out how to located and remove the secondary fuel injectors to get it serviced.

yeah i got my injectors cleaned and the problem is still there. coughed up 500 bucks and it was a gamble.

Does anyone know about the fuel switch that doesn't cut off the pump?

You paid 500 bucks for injector cleaning? Woah. That's like paying $250.xx bucks for a McDonalds happy meal!

2nub_2stupid

i didn't do it myself so plus labour it was 400 plus new batt and a new used injector

ilike2eatricers

new used injector? so which one was it?

Jester

I just found out, Autozone or someone has a leaky fuel injector repair kit or something that replaces the O rings. Anyone know if they work? They're like 7 bucks as opposed to the 120 bucks for a new injector. Now I just gotta find out how to get to my injectors!

BTW: Thanks for all the tips!

Jodoolin

$7.00 for "O" rings ya got to be kidding. Cruzin Preformance wil pre test, clean, new rings and give you post test comparisons for $11.00 each. $4.00 gotta be worth the complete service.

TakumiJr

Same here i need to find out how to removed the secondary injectors.

Jester

Yeah, you gotta good point. I have never sent anything in the mail in my life besides a letter, so ya wanna gimmie a extimate on how much S&H would be? Thanks!
