  • Engine loses RPMs then Dies

    Today while driving the motor fell to 1000 rpms for a few seconds then t would die. prior to it dying a reduced engine power light came on. I restarted it and the idle seemed rough and I was able to drive a few miles then the same thing would happen. When the engine fell ro 1000 RPMs and I was traveling at 50 mph, i applied the gas and there was no response.

    This morning I started the car and the engine reved up to at approc 1500 to 2k rpms then died. this happened several times then I was able to drive. Any ideas on where I shoulf start?

    check fuel delivery first in my opinion. Change the filter, then hook up a pressure gauge to make sure the pump isnt dying. Then, check your air delivery for foreign objects if you have CAI, in case u sucked up a newspaper or sumthing

    whenever there's engine trouble, there are 4 categories to look at:
    "Think FAST"
    thats...
    Fuel
    Air
    Spark
    Timing

    Since timing is usually pretty well regulated, leave it for last.
