car starts then sputters and die
car starts then sputters and die
I recently had this problem where the car starts for a second and then the engine sputters and die. I've already change the fuel filter and icm. The problem remains the same. Ne ideas on what's going on?
Re: car starts then sputters and die
I just ran the car with the MAF unplugged and it ran better than when i plugged it back in. Is that the problem???

Re: car starts then sputters and die
If it idled without the maf plugged in, that's likely your issue. Are you getting any codes or.check engine lights when the car dies?

Re: car starts then sputters and die
yea but i had the light on regardless because of a wheel sensor issue
Re: car starts then sputters and die
it's not the maf....i put a new one in and the same problem. if i keep hiting the gas it stays on but as soon as i let the gas go it cuts off
