Ka problem cranks & wont stay on

[supermariokartdrift]

I just got the problem last night. I was driving and my e brake came on full bright with the battery light dim. Tried to restart after getting home and it starts, but the idle drops and shuts off. It will only stay on if i give some throttle to keep it from dropping. It will stay on if I ease of the gas, but idle stays low. Can anyone give any suggestions?:aw:

Have you tested spark plugs, injectors, MAF, fuel filter, vaccume hoses, air filter, PCV? It is probably one of those.

i replaced that vacuum(sp?) hose that connects the valve cover and the intake tube, and that two sensor plug thats at the back of the engine, between the end of the valve cover and the firewall and adjust the idle screw a lil bit, and now its staying on, but still dips low when i start it, this other dude suggests me to clean the EGR valve and the MAF

still having that ebrake problem tho


hope this will help

well yea, a dirty egr valve will affect idle... but if your e-brake and battery light are still on its most likely the alternator...

thought it might be the alternator. will check the other suggestions. thanks for the input.:bow:
