MULTIPLE CODES AND IDLE PROBLEMS

 

Other than intake valve spray, how do I get my car idling at normal RPM? 

The engine starts (sometimes on the 3rd try) and it idles below 1000RPM and also shuts off at stops. I don't have a $5k code reader but it's been scanned before and has every code the car has showing at once and yet it's been driving still.

 

I just bought a new MAF sensor for it and now it wont stay running or start sometimes. Theres also a loose cable NEAR THE FUSE BOX AND BATTERY and I have no idea where it belongs. I think it has something  to do with all the car issues I'm having

Check your fuel pressure.

Normal idle speed is around 750 RPM


How to I check that?


you have to put a gauge on the test port


Okay so a homie of mine had one...its like barely moving at all. It fidgets with the movement of the pistons. I think it's the fuel pump.

Since you're the only one responding, do you think it's the pump?


if you mean the needle on the pressure gauge barely moves then you don't have good fuel pressure. Use a meter or test light to see if the pump is getting 12V, and also make sure the fuel filter isn't plugged up.
