MOTOR WANT RUN
« on: September 08, 2011, 01:27:00 PM »
I spent the afternoon cleaning ground terminals and checking plug-ins and before the motor had a slight Hesitation when shifting gears. After I got thru cleaning grounds and checking plug-ins the motor would crank and run at low idle for about 10 sec. If I touch the gas pedal it goes dead instantly. What did I do wrong or what could it be.

Sounds like a vacuum leak. Check all the intake piping & vacuum lines

ROCKETMAN, I HAVE CHECKED FOR VAC. LEAKS AND FOUND NONE BUT WHAT I DID DO WAS HOLD THE DOOR OR FLAP OPEN TO THE MASS AIR SENSOR AND THE MOTOR WILL STAY RUNNING.
