Default 5000 No Idle

She starts perfectly up, revs up to 3k RPMs then drops and dies, no idle whatsoever.

It was sitting for over a year, so it could still be bad fuel, something sitll plugged up, bad fuel filter, but its getting an excellent spark now.

When i first got it, tank was empty, so i put 20L, plus fuel conditioner, so i dont think its a actual gas problem, but maybe something wrong with fuel delivery system...

Any ideas???

no its your fuel.
the cold start injector fires but the injectors it self dont.
check that no vacuem leaks and that MAF gives out values.

EDIT: sorry you dont have MAF but a plate.

Forgot to add, all the injectors are working fine, because once i had the 5000 running for over 5 minutes by manually controlling the fuel relay so fuel was constantly feeding, and with an open throttle, she stayed running.

It must be something else that is cutting idle on ignition.

Also picked up a brand new fuel pump relay, so its not a relay.

there is throtle position. Can the car run if you keep the gas pedal on?
What relay number was that?

Nope, car wont run even with foot on gas.

Im suspecting something of the ECU turning off idle control on ignition, what would be the cause of this?




Also: I had it idling once, by manually controlling fuel using relay, and having throttle half open. Now that theres a new relay, it fires up perfectly, but does not idle*.

Ok

After some further troubleshooting on this issue, it seems that the car is simply not getting enough fuel. kakarot, i think your right, the injectors are not getting any fuel, and i was running off my cold start b4, because i had to manually control the fuel relay.

Checked fuel pump fuse with test light, nothing. Might be a bad fuel pump connection, wiring, or just bad pump. Gonna check that out tomorrow.
