1995 Olds Aurora fuel system problem?
Had a simular problem. Fuel pump was bad, car was parked so that at start up it was getting enough fuel to run, after it warmed up, pump cut out.Why is white smoke comming from my cars air vents?
Check to see if you are getting gas next time it happens
Experience w/ REVA electric cars? How many thousand miles do battery packs last?
press the gas a couple times to rev up the engineHow can i remove a build up of wax from my black car bumpers?
its not your alternator cuz u dont seem to have trouble turning your car on... gas pump/? dont knowI had this problem with a motorcycle. It turned out it was bad clearance on an exhaust valve. The engine would start fine, but when it warmed up the valve would stick in the open position and kill compression, so the engine would then fail.
Check your valve clearance, if it is relevant to your engine. A look at a repair/maintainance manual for your car will quickly tell you if it is an issue you should look at.
Where can I get a starter motor for a Bedford CF250 at a good price?
Another thing you might check is that the idle is set right some cars have a cold start setting that may allow the car to start and idle but after it warms up it switches back to a different idle setting. Plus check if it's getting hot ? ( some component may be heating up also and then failing after it get hot.) I HATE cars especially those that don't work ;)What has been you most unlucky day?
Sounds like idle control sensor.Sometimes it's good to syphon to clear the tubes. It gets the motor running?
sometimes a coil will fail when hot and resume working when cooled offMore Questions & Answers ...
