Yesteday I was cleaning the garage, and I started my 7 only for like 10 secs to move it, then again toi move it back in garage. (I know, I know) ANyway, I get in my beast this morning, about 50F inside garage. and go to start it. well it start to stumbler bit, I am thinking ok no prob seen this before with the only starting for few secs thing. However, this was getting really different, when it is flooded it is hard to start, but when started it is realtively okay after a bit. I started my car and it felt like it was running off like 1 rotor, tons of smoke coming out, really rough, if I gave it gas it woudl get choked out. I tried to slowly rev it just to blow some of the **** out, but just felt like ****.

I turned it off and took the beater to work. Ayyone have any ideas? was kinda cold, it is just flooding?

 

Man, sounds like MAP sensor.... but i'll bet you've checked that.

To be honest I haven't checked anything yet, I was going to work so didn't have time. I guess giving a good day to rest, then try again after work. Hen I will check map sensor, plugs, etc, anythig that coudl have come loose. Just reallys cared I just had o shell out like 10k for income taxes for last couple years that were late, I don;t nned an engine to boot.

THanks

 

I did the same thing this weekend. I had to move my car a few feet and didnt let it warm up, just shut it down. Then the next day I try to start it and it just cranks and cranks. Then I finally get oit started and its missin like hell till it warms up!! HAHA. Just the wonderful world of the Rotor!!

 

When I change my oil this happens sometimes. Start
up drive up ramps turn off and change oil. Start up again roll of ramps and get a rough idle backfires ect... Just warm it up and it should be fine.

 

Just thought I would update you guys. I just let it warm up and it was fine. It happend to me before, but I didn't have open exhaust then, I guess it just sounded a lot worse than before and I got nervous. But all is well, alive and kicking.

thanks

 

where is that MAP thing?

 

I was also wondering where this "MAP" sensor is... I asked the dealer about it and they were acting like I was stupid. I know what a MAP sensor is they just said that my car does not have one. ????

 

Typical dealer response... It's on the firewall right behind the throttle body hanging off a 10 mm bolt and bracket - it has a hose coming off the bottom of it that must be secure or your car will run like poo poo! BTW, if you ever work in this area, take that sucker off and put it on your dash. They break easily and cost about $400.00 to replace!

 

is it written pressure sensor on it?

 

yep

 

I poped the boost sensor line off one time while changing oil and didnt notice and got these same effects. Just lettin you guys know just in case you have this problem again it could be that also.
