Car dies after revving...
Car dies after revving...
First of all, my car won't start unless I have the pedal pushed down when cranking. I'm not sure why this is, but it really bugs me. Once the car starts, it idles fine, but when I press the throttle down a little (2k to 3k rpms) and let go, the car will just die on me. Why won't it start by itself, and why does it die like that? I thought maybe it could be that the car wasn't warmed up, but it does it regardless of the engine temps.
And if you know, what sizes are the oil cooler line bolts? I've been using an adjustable wrench, but I keep screwing up the bolts cuz I can never get a good turn and oil keeps leaking out of the top oil cooler bolt...And does anyone know where I can find the correct PS fluid and a good TPS sensor? Or do I have to buy the sensor new?

For the dying issue, I believe IIRC, that it has to do with the dashpot... Its on your throttle body, and acts like a shock to keep the throttle plates from shutting close when the throttle is let off.

Any insight to the starting problems though?
I found the PS fluid, but is there anywhere I can get a TPS cheaper than $200?
