Why does my car die when i Press on the gas?
Hopefully i'm putting this in the right thread.
Okay, I've had my S14 for about a month with no issues. Last night when i started it up, it started idling a bit weird. It usually idles at around 1k. It dropped to about 500, went up and down again. I put it into first gear and it died on me. I thought i just stalled by letting of the clutch to early but once i started it up again, the same thing happened. Eventually the car wouldn't idle unless it was on neutral. The car would back fire like crazy too when i tried pressing on the gas. Today i checked the pressure on the fuel filter/ pump and it was really low so i changed it. It worked well, seemed to fix the problem. Now about 5 hours later, i was about to leave to my friends house and i felt the car idle a bit weird so i waited and two minutes later, the car died out. What could it be? This is my first car i've owned. |

You have to post more info on the car.
What engine? KA? or SR20det? stock ecu? What did you change? the pump and/or fuel filter? I assume you detected low pressure via a FPR, correct? |

I only changed the fuel pump and yes. I checked the pressure again and it's reading fine. |
