I was driving yesterday in 3rd at low rpms and my car just died out on me and now it won't start. Its not the battery everything in the car turns on. The motor is turning over just not going on. I don't kno what's wrong with it. we're gonna try and find out what's wrong with it today but does anybody have any suggestions. Thanks

 

Alternator or starter maybe?

 

sounds like your intake manifold pipe/slicone hose blew off. Just make sure all pipe are on tight. this is a common occurance.

 

oooooo nice ^^^^^^^, learned something new today!

 

WTF? Are you kidding me... He said it turns over... The motor cranks...So that would me the battery has power. It doesnt matter if the alternator is bad or not.. it it cranks then it should fire.

As for what to check.. you need to give more input. Did it make a noise... were you under boost. we cant just guess for you, come'on help us determine your problem.

 

I am new to this stuff. Give me a break man. I am in Auto Tech class and it started last Monday. I still have a lot to learn.

 

No noise wasn't in boost yet motor just stalled its getting power I'm thinking it might be a fuel preoblem or a head problem we tried to check the timing yesterday and it seemed off

 

If all checks out fine, could it be the chip inside the key? A friend of mine had similar problems with his car (not an evo) before, couldn't start even though all lights comes on and the engine turns, problem was the chip in his car keys got fried.

 

Ok we checked the car out we found that the engine fuse keeps blowing.we changed the fuse and the car started back up.took it for a drilve and it died again. can somebody tell me why this or get the diagram for all the connections of this fuse. We were thinking that it is a bad ground somewhere. We
Also noticed that the car weas running real rich smelled badd. I just need some help I was going to take it to turbo trix tomorrow nut I thibk everyone will be at the track

 

If you searched you would probably have found the answer.

Do you have an aftermarket catback? How about anti-foulers on the O2 because of a cat delete pipe?

Check the rear O2 sensor wiring for shorting to ground against the heatshield.

 

how about checking you fuses? maybe the fuse for your fuel pump went out

 

..

 

Yes I have an aftermarket tbe with cat delete I'm going to check the sensor when it stops raining but would that pop the enging fuse and I did search couldn't find anything also had one of my boys who is an electrical engineer trying to find the diagram for the wiring but we couldnmt find it

 

It has happened to a few people. That fuse powers the sensors for engine control.

 

Aight I fixed it. It was my rear o2 sensor it kept hit against my underbody which frayed the wires causing a short so thanks for the advice saved me a couple huindrd of dollars.
