  • HELP... car won't start

    ok, today i pulled my car into my driveway and after sitting there for like 10-15 min i go to back my car back out again, but now it won't start... i have no idea what is wrong... it turns over fine but then dies right after that, as if it ran out of gas or something...the battery gauge shows around 11 and therefore in the yellow warning part, but i am not sure if they are reading right...any input would be much appreciated

    so you car will start and run for bit and then die? how long does it run? if you rev it up will it keep running?

      it will run for about 2 seconds and then die...i tried reving it just now to see if that would work, but it just died right after it pased 3000 rpms...this same thing happened to my sister yesterday, but it started fine a few hours later..so hopefully it will do the same for me

            whew..problem fixed...i appears that was trying to move my pcm to install my manual fan switch i never screwed in the bolts back in all the way. and when i was checking all the connections i noticed one part was angled slightly different than the other. once that was fixed that it started fine. maybe that fixed the problem, or maybey is was just coincidence..but it runs fine now. thanks for all your input
