I just finally put the new clutch so all i need to do is replace the water pump
but when i turn it on and press the clutch to change speeds it turns off unless i accelarate it and i don't want to do that because i need to replace the water pump
what could the problem be

 

I was wondering what if i bleed the clutch would that work
or check the idle speed

 

This is probably wrong, but what about the clutch switch?

 

So... when you push the clutch to change gears, it stalls on you?

 

No it's more like this
i turn the car on in Neutral and when i put it to first gear to make it go it turns off or if not i make it go and keeps trying to turn off.
It's not like i can't drive its just something is wrong
O i think i Know whats wrong i tried to check the clutch switch thing and this morning my battery dropped low big time and it's under 8 bolts
this car needs like what 12-13 bolts to run correctly right so buy a battery with what 15 bolts because if the aloternater doesn't have enought volts then its not produing enought power for engine
correct me if im wrong

 

mine was dying and wouldnt start, i put a new battery in and its runnin good now.

 

Well last time i said that it might off been the battery because it was low
but i added water to it because it was dry and the battery is good now
but the car keeps turning off when turned on in 1 even on neutral but it last longer on
so i guess im gonna do the tune up
if it keeps turning off
then what else could it be i guess i might time the car and
how do you time these cars
thanks really appreciate it

 

im not following.

the electricals turn off or the engine turns off ?

 

you have a battery you can put water in? how the hell old is it?

have you had the alternator tested?

once it dies does it start right back up?

when does it die? does it warm up first?

you need to give a little more detail and type a little clearer

 

Yes i have tested the alternator

no it doesn't turn back on

it does warm up in neutral but if turned on in 1st gear it just turns off after a couple of seconds

my dad says it might be the fuel filter but i told that we should tune the car up first and if its still the same time the car or call a mechanic

 

hold on let me interpret you a little bit

you can turn the car on in neutral and it will warm up but once you put it in gear it dies?

 

Yes
and also if i turn the car on in first gear it turns off in a couple of seconds

 

Like i said
im going to tune up the car
if it continues im going to time the car
or call mechanic

 

Well i got my paycheck today and am going to buy a new water pump
because the one i have right now is leaking
what else should i buy i guess maybe the fuelpump And a STP fuel system cleaner
what else should i buy to maybe make this problem be fix

 

Jumper the fuel pump check connector, yellow two prong plug with a rubber boot located near the P/S strut tower.

This will run the fuel pump constantly when the key is on and give you an idea whether or not any of the resistors etc. are cooked.

 

where do i get this jumper wire
or do i use anytype as long as it doesn't over heat
i guess im gonna have to buy a Tee fuel pressure gauge
i might as well check the idle

 

Im in Duarte, Ill take a look if you want. I cannot understand what you type

 

I used a paper clip.
