i have a 93 isuzu that wont stay started its done this a few times but never for this long the only way it will start is if i floor it and it will only stay started for half a second then it immediately dies and if i dont floor it then it will just keep turning and nuthen will happen and after a few times trying to crank it will smell like fuel...does any one have any idea what the problem might be

ok now the stalling out is real consistant like when it starts it shoots up to about 2000 rpm then goes to 1000 stays there for a few seconds then drops to about 500 and starts smelling real rich and then if u put it in drive and put any gas to it it dies

Run it with the gas cap off just for kicks. Not sure what the problem is but best to start with the easy stuff first. Make sure to check all of your fuel & vacuum lines too.

Your fuel system could be over/under pressurizing. A faulty cap can cause that. It will also activate its service engine light. Seriously, check your vacuum lines.

Sounds like it could be a vacuum leak.

pokethesmot · 02-02-2010, 01:40 AM

i talked to a guy today and he said to spray carb cleaner on the engine while its running and if the idle picks up then its a vacuum leak s ima try that tomorrow

pokethesmot · 02-05-2010, 04:59 PM
