Hello again Lads,
I went out to run a quick errand today and when I started home, the engine stalled right after I put it in drive. After repeated long cranks, it finally stubbornly started. The engine ran/revved normally until I put it in gear, then it stalled again after moving a few feet.
It was almost starting, but sputtered and quit. The engine seemed to almost catch and start just as I turned the key off. Weird.
Anyhow, again, after numerous lengthy "almost starts," I got her going. I revved the engine for a minute or so (to get a little juice back in the battery), put it in drive at around 1500 rpm and drove home. Every thing was normal since the non-start event. Idled perfectly in my driveway for 20 minutes.
I have noticed an occasional rough idle recently, and I've had to rock the gear shift a few times because the PNP switch is getting balky I guess.
I opened the hood and just stared. Don't know what to investigate or look at.
I know there have been many discussions regarding rough starts, but I guess I never bothered to read them.
Anybody suggest a course of action? (I'm thinking fuel filter...)
Thanks!
