Default weirdness!!!!!!!!
So I quit my job last night (since I got the new one) but I promised I would finish up to the weekend....well driving along....I came to a stop and got a MINOR surge in rpms.....then car stalled. Fired right back up and promptly stalled again.....checked vac lines...they are fine, no cracks, etc.....things seem to be getting lil by lil worse as I go along here (thank god I am basically gonna park my car)....

Other things I KNOW I need

VSS? Lil deal coming out of the trans??? speedo cable thingy?

and also lately.....VERY VERY hard starting...like non existent....it clicks and I gotta pray it will catch and then it fires along most times trouble free for the day...occasionally it might tsake a while to start...and for the first time it SOUNDED like it was weak battery (checked...I got 14.4 volts coming thru...so I know battery is fine, alt is cgarging perfectly...etc....)

I have done the basic checks....I think I miht need to solder the main relay (Bandoni suggested this also) as it clicks (sounds like starter to me clunk/click....but oh well...I will do the main relay and hope that helps alot....got a new job starting on monday so need car to get me there ya know?)

thsnks for the help fellas....I have to go out so TEXT me some ideas

^ plus one on this ...although I'd go a few steps beyond; a FULL tune-up sounds like in order! I'd also do what was previously recommended about the main relay. Goodluck Jimmy!

You also might want to check the ECU for any codes.

but t just clicks sometimes in the morning and then runs fine thru the day???? This morning however...started fine, stopped at a store....then wouldnt start...meaning it didnt really do anything...the stereo and all came on.....but no start....then key off and back on...and it was fine. I plan on full tune up here in next few weeks (remember...year and a half off....worked then a month off due to wreck...now start a new job...can only do so much...top it off...I am looking/moving into a new place...all terrible timing...well some of it is...least I got a great new job)


Its just odd....

Ya, it sounds like the main relay. Have at it with the soldering iron.

How's the weather where you live? Any rain? If so, then dump some octane boost and "deicer" "de-watering" chemical in overnight and try again the next AM - cheapest and easiest first, right? Then check the dizzy o-ring and starter connections for wet. Bet a dolla' it's moisture in the elec + bad gas. But don't ask PNOYE2 if I've ever paid up for last time - he never gave me his address to get his dolla'. (I'm good for it if you are PNOYE2.)
