alright just when i thought all was well.... the stalling problem when i put her into gear is back. besides the fuel pulsation dampener what could be causing this problem?

what exactly is on the right side on the fuel rail as your looking at the engine? its back near the fire wall and come to find out if you don't fully tighten that screw you'll have the problem i mentioned before. its running fine now, there's a slight cut in one of the spark plug wires so i'm...

alright now what?!?!?!?!?! i've changed out the fpr and i'm good on holding an idle, no problems... however, now i can't put her in drive because she stalls out. any input? did i install the fpr wrong? what could be causing THIS problem?!

thanks for all of your help. i've checked both of those sensors and they both ohmed out and looked good structurally. so i'm at a loss, the fpr is coming in today so i'm going to change out the fpr and see what happens.

where are they located? and how do you test them?

the plugs definitely smell of fuel. and i've tested the spark coming off both distributors and that looks good. the engine cranks and as soon as it goes to idle it shuts off. when i cleaned the iacv it actually lengthed the amount of time the engine was firing. which seems to me as an excessive...

well i'm wondering if the fpr is stuck in the on position? if that was the case it would be flooding in the engine correct? which relays would i need to check/test in this case? and would i be able to bypass them with the traditional paper clip?

i realize its difficult for you to figure it out without looking at it. but i'm looking at it and i can't figure it out either. i've switched ignition coils already as i mentioned in the original post. i've tested the spark and that's good too coming from the distributors. i'm just trying to...

i've checked the fuel pressure its getting roughly 38psi. the issue isn't the lack of fuel its too much fuel. i also pulled the plugs that i just installed and found that the fpr side has significantly more carbon build up than the off side. which seems to me it could be an indication that the...

i've attempted that and it cut off just as quick if not quicker.

does that sound like the logical problem or is there something i might be overlooking?

I've run into a recent problem and i can't seem to figure it out. My 92 sc400 was running fine one night and the next morning, the engine would turn over but not start. To troubleshoot i first changed out my fuel filter thanks from some advice from this forum. i've changed the ignition coils...
