Hmmm yea I see what you’re saying. I took another look see this morning and it’s pretty chilly out(it’s almost June mother nature :angry: ) so air is denser in oxygen right now. The car was running pretty good I can’t drive the car because it doesn’t have tags and it’s at our shop and too many public roads wth police everywhere. But I gave the car some revs and it was working fairly well. Was able to stay on longer than usual so that’s great. Lasted longer before the failing happens. I took a look at the coolant. It’s more clear than green. Pretty sure that not right. Could be low but that’s beside the point. The car was running good. Took longer to heat up too because it’s chilly here. Yesterday it was warm and heated up faster. I see what you’re saying about the air systems. while I was reving it, it was actually doing pretty good. No issues at all. fought like a champ. But when the engine got hot it started happening again where little by little it starts to fail. I’m reading online because in adamant it could be this sensor and my reasoning is because it’s actually very common and my symptoms are very similar to this. Some are saying my car is starved or air another says its starved of fuel. To be I believe it could be starved of air because when I remove the small hose that’s over top of the intake hose it allows the car to stay alive. The car seems to not be burning some gas. It’s burning okay but there’s a hint of fuel not burning. Could be more than I’m saying but it seems to be only a little bit. Sorry fng in the mechanic world but I do have experience and understanding.
Decided to have a look see at the car again. The engine was cold coolant was cold and everything was working great. The car seemed to have fixed itself. But when the car got hot the problems started coming little by little I realized that the engine coolant temperature sensor had to be the problem now. Because when it was cold I was able to connect everything up and the car was great working good as new but when the engine got hot the problems started coming I tried to disconnect the sensor harness and the problem got to a point the car wanted to die hooked it back up and the car tried to maintain itself but struggled I disconnected the hoses again and the car stabilized sort of. Still struggling but it was better I think the sensor could be the problem. What do you guys think?
looks like i wont be able to pos picutres at all for some reason so i know thats gonna make it a little harder :huh:
