yesterday i started my car and it would idle at 1700rpms for 2 min around then it would drop rpms to around 400-500rpm then just die. i would have to keep it reved up to 2000rpm for 5 minutes and it would run ok.

so today i go out to go to school get in my car put my key in turned it and nothing absolutely nothing not even a turn over.....

just a few minutes ago i tried to jump start it...we left the cables on for 5-10 minutes and tried again....still nothing

any ideas???

really appreciate help

thanks

 

check to see if you are getting spark to the spark plugs. check your ground wires.

 

def check spark, have u tried push starting it, maybe the starter up n died..

 

i havent tried push starting it yet we put a battery charger on it last night and it was completely dead so it may still just be the battery but i have a hunch my alternator isnt working and also yesterday my dad found the wire to the fan unplugged

 

massive oil leak?

 

lol no leaks but im almost positive the battery is just fryed because i started it up today after letting it charge for 15 hours so its not spark plugs or anything but for how long i charged it, it should have been a full battery but it was only half way charged

i got a new battery and im going to put it in today

ill keep ya posted

 

ok battery did the trick and the alternator is fine tomorrow im going to do some maintence work but ya everything is running

 

ok new problem....im driving and i shift then i press on the gas and like 10 seconds later it start to shake like a person who lets the clutch out to fast or....like im pressing on and off the gas repeatedly(hopefully those examples help)

....the only way it fixes is when i slam the pedal to the floor it takes a few seocnds to stop shaking or wait out the shaking till its in higher rpms, or let off the gas

....what could be causing this

p.s. its not my shifting

 

did you plug MAF back in?

 

i dont care if i sound like a newb but where is my maf and where does it plug into?

 

right after the air box on the metal section. i'd check injectors too.

 

well the guy who had the car before me did some **** to it i see tons of cut tubes and **** ill take a picture and show you but i think im going to have to get a stock air intake from the junkyard or something

 

Ouch. looks like you got ur hands full. GL.

 

as long as thers no cuts after the filter its fine...lots of people cut holes/remove pieces for "performance"

but yea put a pit up of the intake/vacuum hoses and well tell ya if things need to be changed

 

in the pic you see the circle i think it has something to do with that because when im reving i can feel air coming out of there and im sure that air has to go somewhere or something
