when i crank the car up it will run about thirty seconds then die. if you trie to hit the throttle it acts like its boggin down. when it gets around 180 degrees it will idle until you put it in gear and it bogs down again and you have to keep hitting the throttle before it will ever move.if anyone has a clue what this could be please let me know thanks

 

Possibly a large vacuum leak What's the manifold vac reading? How's the fuel press? Any codes?

 

Start with the basics. Check for vaccum leaks. Check fuel pressure to see if fuel pump and filter are operating properly. How long since you did a tuneup -cap, rotor, plugs , wires etc..etc..

 

some people told me it could be the idle sensor could that be a reason
----------
it aint got a vaccum leak and aint got the tool to check for any codes

 

no tool required to check codes.

Just a paperclip. Do a search, its also in the tech section.

 

an injector may be starting to ground itself out and grounding out the circuit

while it is running take off one of the injector terminals if it stays running after the 30 seconds there is the problem

reading the ohms on injectors does not alway solve the problem

this is TPI we are dealing with right

I think sometimes I am wasting my time trying to help with board members cars and all of a sudden I realize that there is not enough info

please if you want us more experienced 3rd genners to help we will give you some of our time but you have to spend a little more time layin down the info we need

Oh by the way welcome aboard

just bussin *****

 

no its a throttle body sorry thought i had it in there
----------
i bought the car a couple of weeks ago and it was in grass 6ft tall and had been there bought a year but i drove it home. it bogged a little then but gradually has got worse

 

i am goin to replace the idle sensor some time this week when i get a chance.maybe that is it if not i'll try somethin else

 

what about what the other suggested? Check the codes .... check for a vaccum leak . Do thats stuff too . Don't just throw parts at it.

 

i brought home a scan tool today i'm goin to check this evenin and see what it pulls up

 

i got that idle valve put on it helped, also put a new gasket on the throttle body.old one whas cracked. it will idle fine now once you get it warmed up but when i put it in reverse it bogs back down. think theres a leak around the intake goin to try to reseal it this week, thanks for the feedback yall
