Air Leak or Fueling
My car starts idles for a minute then cuts out, if you dont touch the throttle!
If you start it and then touch the throttle or try and start it with some throttle it wont start / cuts straight out!
Does this sound like an air leak or metering unit mixture adjustment problem? Low fuel pressure or some kind of fueling problem?
I think its a low fuel pressure problem, the injectors arent spraying and its only running because of the fuel from the cold start valve!
More investigation to be done but if anyone could take some stabs in the dark it would be appreciated!
The car was running fine till the fuel distributor seized up, now its been replaced and the above is happening!
