hey guys! i have a minor problem(so i think) with my 88N/A. well i went out to crank my car about 2 months ago, it was really hard to start, im guessing it was flooded. it took like 10 min to get it started, the batt almost died trying to. it seemed like it wanted to crank a few times, but it never fired up. well like once every week and a half it will do this and ever since that first day i noticed that sometimes when i get on it, it kinda hesitates, and sometimes even stalls then catches again. when it stalls its in the upper rpm's about 5500, then it will go again after about a 1000 drop. im thinking either an injector leaking, or my coils suck. does anybody else have this problem. i took a quick glance at the injectors, i couldnt see any fuel leaking and i already checked the intake for leaks. im puzzled. any help would be appreciated

 

check the green connector on the water thermo sensor, just behind the thermostat housing- it might be cracked...those were almost the EXACT symptoms I had when mine cracked- it would make contact most of the time, and she would run great; every now & then, though (especially when hot) I'd be cruising along (or racing) and it would just DIE for a couple of seconds, then come back to life again

OH NOW THEY FINALLY POST< AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS!!!!!!!!!WTF????????

 

haha, i was like i get it the first time.......thanks for the help. ill check that. i forgot to mention that it tries to die also when its kind of still cold but when the engine warms up the idle still goes down but it doesnt die

 

checked the sensor, its not cracked.....how do i check the coils

 

The procedure is in the Factory Service Manual, which you can download for free:

thanks ill do that, can it be the injectors though. i just dont understand why it would try to die sometimes when i stop. i turned the idle all the way up so it would stop dying.
