greetings gang, car starts but turns off immediately after. Any suggestions before I tow to the mechanic? i tried giving gas but once i let up it dies.
Sounds like the main relay. Could also be the fuel pump resistor.greetings gang, car starts but turns off immediately after. Any suggestions before I tow to the mechanic? i tried giving gas but once i let up it dies.
So you can keep it running if you give it gas? Does it run okay but die if you let off to idle or does it die no matter what you do? Need more info.greetings gang, car starts but turns off immediately after. Any suggestions before I tow to the mechanic? i tried giving gas but once i let up it dies.
Towing to Japanese mechanic on Saturday so he can diagnose, I’ll keep you guys posted thank you muchIf it starts and runs briefly its probably not the main relay. If you can keep it running by applying some throttle then it might be idle control. If it starts and then dies regardless of what you do with the throttle then it is probably fuel supply related and that could be lots of things - failing fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, power supply to the pump (the resistor), MAP sensor, ECU problem .... Try using the service check connector to see if there are any stored codes that point you in a particular direction. If you don't have any codes and you are not prepared for or don't have the time for a deep dive then tow it to a competent mechanic.
