FC wont idle after front end collission
 

Ok guys heres the deal. I got in a front end collision sunday causing significant body damage. The car hasnt been able to idle since. Itll start, run for a second and shut off but if I hold the throttle itll run fine. All relays seem intact and I dont see any vac hoses off/loose.

Any ideas?

afm?

could you post some pics so I can get an idea of the extent?

Perhaps the impact cracked a vac hose?? It may be hard to find since you won't be able to start the car and spray carb cleaner around to find the leak, since the car shuts off after a few seconds.

This is the best pic I can get but as you can see the engine bay wasnt protruded into much, just the radiator support was pushed back almost an inch it seems

hmm

I'd certainly check your intake for leaks after that impact

But more than likely its a cracked line (thats a heck of a jarring for old stiff vac lines)

Good luck

sounds like the AFM. same thing just happend to my old RX7 (just sold it couple weeks ago, and the guy wrecked it, just, a lot worse than you)

His wouldnt idle either, it would start, and shut off. check all of the intake tubes. Thats what did it for my old one. The AFM wasnt fully connect, nor was it level. also his TPS is outa wack now too. just somethen to keep in mind.

sorry you had a wreck man :( that shit sucks.
