What the crap is with my car...

Post by Aneab »

no idea what the hell is going on with my car... if it sits for more than a day without being driven... suddenly when it starts it just feels like the engine is about to die...

the start and idle is VERY and i mean VERY rough... I have to give it a little gas (keeping the rpm's around 2000) for a few seconds before anything goes back to normal...

It's time for an oil change, but that wouldn't cause this, would it? and i'm not WAY over on milage on the oil only about 40 miles over 3000miles since last oil change...

AHHHH I almost hate my car >.< Almost ready to kick it and sell it!!!

run some FUEL SYSTEM cleaner through for the next couple fill ups (not just injector cleaner either).


after replacing that fuel rail mumbo jumbo , there may be junk and sediment in the system (which may have caused the first valve to fail anyway).
