Ok i cant figure this out I was coming home from work today and and i downshifted to second from third and took my foot off the gas and my car died then when i tried to start it it wouldnt but when some one pushed me and i tried is started and when i took my foot off the gas it died again any ideas anyone?

 

check for leading and trailing spark
check for compression by listening to the motor(crank with one trail plug out)
make sure you have fuel

I know its fuel. it only starts if its push started now. it was boggin on the way home and i shifted into second and it bogged for a sec then shot up in rpms then i shifted to third and all ways good then when i let off the gas it died.

 

i guess you gota tell us what you have?

 

better do the basics too, It will only take a few minutes
