okay whats up guys, so recently my car has been dying on occasion when i stop at stop signs, or put it in nuetral to stop. AND, its been a bitch to start lately too. i have to crank it for a long time with the gas pedal floored until it starts, and when it does start it sounds like hell, almost as if its running on 1-2 cylinders. i pulled it in the garage when i got home today to take a look at some stuff. i pulled of my intake tube and cleaned up the throttle body.
i am stumped as to why its doing this because it has a brand new fuel pump, injectors, cap&rotor, plugs, wires. the compression is good, the maf is good and super clean, has a fairly new o2 sensor. it has good spark on all 4 cylinders, its getting fuel to the cylinders because (i can smell it when im cranking, and see it fuming out the exhaust) and also, it shows NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES. when i can get it to start it runs pretty good, its just the shutting off by itself that is stumping me.
and NOW it wont start at all, im sitting here on the floor in the garage with my laptop searching and searching of what i can do and nothing seems to work. please help people! this sucks DICK
