so my FC has been sitting in the garage for the past 3 years now and i think its time i get back to work, but for the life of me i cant figure out whats wrong with this car.

The car will start up and will run for a few minutes as long as the engine is cold and then stall out after it warms up. after it warms up it wont start back up unless i wait about an hour. almost everything is pretty new on the car besides the sensors and electrical harness. the only sensor it is missing is the temp gauge sensor that is attached to the radiator, but the car was running without it way before this happened but what do i know lol. please help

87 N/A

 

There were two wires running to the temp switch at the radiator. One wire is Black while the other is Brown. Try jumpering these two wires to see if it helps any. And what is the idle speed at the time the car dies out.

 

it idles normally at around 1000 rpm and i will try jumping the wires and let you know

 

Have you checked the compression?
Have you tried to drive it or does it stall out while idling once it warms up?

 

Mine did that and it was the CAS. Let it run until it dies, remove the top of the CAS and spray some electric contact cleaner in it and then try to restart it. If it restarts replace the CAS.

To confirm, if you use a test light on the ECU diagnostic connector it will blink once but only while cranking the car over, which means there is a CAS error.
