main relay

Lot's of possible options. And yeah main relay is a good palce to start. It's one the cheapest too. Or your pump can be the problem also.

It is shooting gas through the injectors though so I don't think it would be the fuel pump. I think it may be the timing belt...I think it may have jumped. And I also hooked a OBD2 scanner to it and it shows 0 codes.

When the main relay goes bad it works enough to prime the fuel system then it shuts down that's why it starts but dies out when you hit the gas I bet if you let it run at idle it dies within a minute. If you don't want to thoughly listen to adivse don't ask for it. I have seen This several times so do what you want

Moved...

For Sale section is a place for items for sale, not for asking general car questions.

Thank You.

it's your relay

tommyhlfgr05 · 04-08-2011, 02:45 PM

k first off my bad for the placement in for sale i had a couple to many last night and 2nd i didnt say i didnt think it was the relay.... that is a good idea. i just dont think its the fuel pump and yes if i just let idle it will got to 1k rpm then just drop out never runs for more than 2 or 3 secs first im gonna make sure timin still good than the relay and thanks for all advice

tommyhlfgr05 · 04-14-2011, 11:10 AM

I bought a fuel pump and a main relay and it wasn't either of them...my car still does the same thing after installing them.

tommyhlfgr05 · 04-14-2011, 11:11 AM

Any other suggestions would be great?

Well according to me there could be 2 problem i can see..
1) I think it is because of the bad fuse.
2) would be the coil pack..

Pickup trucks

This looks like bad fuse to me

You guys guess to much making this man spend too much money on stuff that wont fix it so quit throwing random advice at him. OP also needs to learn how to properly diag something, taking random and more than likely incorrect advice from someone over the net is stupid. No one is going to be able to properly tell you what is going on without actually looking at the car.

Get the helms service manual for the car and follow the troubleshooting flow chart. Things it's showing to check is air cleaner, PCV system, idle speed, spark plugs, fuel pressure and ignition timing and you seem to have only checked 2 of those. Shouldn't have been so quick to waste money on parts you didn't need when you could have just checked them.
