I went out today to start it and hit the remote start button, it did not start. i got in and turned it with the key and the battery was fine but it would not "catch hold" i tried for 5 mopre mins stopped and tried again and it started. It was runing really rough, and the rpm gage was flopping between 0 and 1.5. It died less than a half mile down a slow road. I started it again and took off and another half mile it died again. Once again i started it and after that it ran a little rough but it smoothed out and is running fine now? What is going on with my car? Is it serious?

mabye bad gas, water in the gas. Was it cold the night before?

Jon Little

it was cold. last night it rain for 5 or 6 hoours. I use high oct gas. and additives. If it is rain or water what can i do about it?

HoJo

Well I wasn't talking rain, more condensation from it being cold outside, below freezing. All you can do is just run the bad gas out of it then fill up with a new tank.

Jon Little

what gas should i be using? Brand? I know high octane but how can i keep water out of my gas tank

Hojo,

That's an awesome pic of your Max auto crossing.

HoJo

Yea I'll get a better one this year. That was a photo that I scanned, it didn't turn out very well kinda blurry. Speaking of autoXing I'm going this weekend, it's gonna be cold high of 49 degrees. Anybody around the Wichita kansas area can cone, it's at the Boeing parking lot

Bryan91SE

Do you have a 5 speed? I imagine that's preferable for auto-crossing?

HoJo

Nope, auto, gotta work with what I got. 5-speed would be alot better, but i don't have that option.

They do that here in Omaha too (auto x)...I like to watch more than race in those, mainly because i laugh at the peeps that f**k up!!..But Kansas state line is about 2.5 hours drive from here (going 80-85mph)

HoJo

Well wichita is about two hours drive from Manhattan. But the only ones around here are in Wichita, Salina and KC

Hey Bud. Have U checked your distribitor cap?? It may have a slight crack in it and moisture from wet weather can get in there and make your car play up bad. Take your leads off it and take the cap off and check. How old R your leads?? U might need new ones too. I still have my old one in but I know that I will need to change them soon plus Im adding 3 new injectors to make mine all new together. (I had 1, 3 and 6 replaced in Septmeber last year.) So its time for 2, 4 and 5. Let me know how it is going? Oh I love your site man, well done I signed your guest book.
