Hey Guys,
Just a quick thanks to all those who answered my previous questions. Ya'll are a great help.
But now:
Every time I start my car, it's something different. Sometimes it fires straight away and the RPMs jump to 2k and slowly settle back down. Other times it baaaaarely starts and climbs up to normal RPM ranges. Once in a while, it will even not start on the first crank, but be perfectly normal the next. The only other symptom I have noticed is on the times it starts low RPMs and gets up to normal, there will be an ever so slight smell of gasoline.
So: Airflow/Fuel/Electrical? I can think of something in about every category but I'd be blind testing everything. Fuel filter is new, plugs are new (although I am going to switch back to Iridiums soon), air filter is relatively new. Outside of that, I have only owned this car for approx. 13k miles, personally.
Thoughts ?
Local guy recomended to me either throttle body is not operating correctly, or air sensor needs replaced. I am kind of doubting the throttle body, only because I can push the accelerator in, and it has no effect on the start.
Any help would be appreciated, and I'll answer as many diagnostic questions as I can.
Thanks again, in advance.
