alright guys, I just got this car a couple of weeks ago and am already having my first problem :O
For informations sake, Ive been running 89 octane through the car, and the guy before me supposedly ran 93, I'm not sure if thats why it started doing this to me now, or if its even related, BUT heres what's going on:
Today, for the first time, the car wouldn't catch, unless I worked the throttle/gas peddle. Its funny, because when I got in it this morning when it was cold, it started right up, no problem whatsoever.
If I try just starting the car up (so far only while it's hot-haven't had a chance to test while its cold again), it wont catch, it'll just keep turning over and over. But (80% of the time) if I work/press the throttle, it'll catch, rev up, and start/idle fine.
The car idles fine 700ish, runs great. Absolutely no other problems with it, never stalled out (on its own
).
So far, Ive dumped some Lucas injection cleaner in the tank, and Ill put some more in there when I fill up next time. I also followed an online post somewhere (forget where-a supra forum) that described cleaning out the intake with carb cleaner, through a vacuum line.
also, not sure if it matters-but ever since I got the car-a check engine light likes to randomly appear and disappear-I just found out today that it was code 27-sub oxygen sensor, and I am not sure how that could be (if it even is) related.
appreciate any input you guys might have-thanks!
