Re: Help

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

Re: Help

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.

Re: Help

Sounds like it could be a vacuum leak.

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.
