Hey guys
see if you can solve this one. Here goes (could get long) now I've had some problems starting the car latly. It's been gradually getting worse. When i start it i REALLY have to pump the gas to get her going. Like i mean REALLY pump. then when she catchs (on a good day) she'll sputter around a bit and idle from 1000 to 1500. I pretty sure it's not my fuel pump, cause i can ALWAYS smell gas as i'm starting it. now this idle will last for a little while, i can drive on it and it seems to work it's self out. if i leave the car for a couple hours, she'll start up fine with no idle problems (weird i know) Now when i start her, i'm giving it a quick shot of gas right away when i start her, this seems to catch and she'll rev high (2500-3000) she'll come back down right away and stall on me. if i don't actually keep her 1500 with the accelerator she'll want to die. this usually lasts for a few minutes. then she'll come back and idle ruff. To fix the problem i've done the following things. Replaced the Charge coil and plugs. my mech did a look thru and can't see much wrong with it. The fact that she'll start a few hours after being driven fine makes me think it's gotta be some kind of injection problem. Could there be a leak somewhere thats drining the "juice" it needs to start. Please anyone help, if i can't fix it, I'll have to think about selling my baby for somthin more reliable, parents are saying they'll buy me a Honda, PLEASE help me from become a dork.
