hi there,
today i was about to go out with my friends but when i tried to start my car, it turned on then just shut off. yesterday night it was working perfectly but now it just doesnt stay on. my car is stock and is a 96. sorry this is so broad but i really dont know what is wrong. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

auto or 5spd?

could be throttle body needs cleaning.. could be plugs.. could be MAF .. you have to give us a bit more history to the problem

 

i dont know what was wrong but this morning my car started up right away. i'm assuming it didnt start due to the freezing weather. i tried starting it 10 times yesterday and it would turn on then stall. i'm just glad it started this morning because i went back to school today. oh and my car is an auto and has been maintained by the dealership all its life. has this happened to anyone? any other ideas to why this happened would b greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

Put a couple of cans of dry gas in your tank. You may have moisture in your gas. Even if it is not your problem, it's only a couple of bucks and it is good preventive maintenence in the winter.

 

someone posted in the 4th Gen Forum.. that it may be fuel related.. it does sound like that.. kinda the samething Kramerica is saying too
