ok guys, i need some help, my car runs for a couple minutes then it shuts off, after the first shut off, the time period that it runs for after i restart it is less than the first and it keeps getting less everytime it shuts off until it will take 20min to 30 min to restart. any ideas?

 

Did you do any work recently?

Does it shut off in P or when you put it in R or D?

If it's only in R or D, is your MAF unplugged?

 

So...codes?

 

Maybe something heat related? Something in the ECU??

 

sorry, I havent been able to come online recently, I changed the cam position sensor today and it ran without shutting off, but i was just able to let it run for 25 minutes, so im gonna check it today, and let everyone know.

 

on my old 96 I had this problem twice.
1st it was the air flow master ($360) which has a air sensor that gets dirty and makes the engine think it's not getting any air (atleast that's what i was told).
2nd time it was the one of the fuses (engine something, dont remember the name). had to keep a box full of fuses in case the car turned off on the freeway

 

Maybe it's cause you have 'racing axles'?

Pull codes, get back to us.

 

I DONT HAVE RACING AXELS ACTUALLY, I WANT SOME. HOWEVER I CHANGED THE CAM POSITION SENSOR, AND THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN THE PROBLEM, BUT I WAS WONDERING HOW COME WHILE THE CAR IS RUNNING AND I PLUG IT OFF, IT DOESNT SHUT OFF

 

plus y does everyone have to be a damn smart *** about the race axle question. I was simply asking where i could purchase a set. Thats how friggin ppl learn, sorry I'm not up to everyone standard

 

Good luck solving your problemo! Bro! I want to see what was the problem too.

 

Seriously, stop yelling.

If it fixed your problem, don't question it. Just because it's not acting as you'd expect now, doesn't mean that it wasn't an issue before.

Maybe because 'race axle' makes no sense at all?

 

im still gonna do some more checks, and pull the codes. however so far it hasnt shut off, i did also change the crank sensor and the one at the tranny too.

 

And you're just mentioning that now?


Anyway, if it's working fine now...did you have another question?

 

NOPE, you could close the thread. Thanks for the advice

 

Oh umm....... technically he is not yelling since we are reading and using our visual senses not our auditory senses

Don't hurt me!

 

All caps is e-yelling, that's just how it is.
