My 93 xj is starting but its sounding sputtery and sluggish and when i give it a lil gas it dies out. All the fuels are good idk what it is. It will start but when i give it a lil gas a couple times it will die. Any ideas???

 

Maybe TPS and or IAC valve... Do you smell gas? Is it getting to much or to little? If its running lean then maybe the o2's? Or the fuel pump itself. CEL?

 

if you aren't throwing any codes, I would say fuel pump or filter

 

Yea it seems like its hardly getting any gas or fuel. Its seems like somthing is clogged up or is stopping it

 

And no im not smelling much gas or fuel

 

Start small and keep it simple before diving too deep into your wallet.

Clean the throttle body and IAC.

Clean and tighten battery connections and grounds.

Check cap, rotor, plugs and wires.

Still goofy? Get the wallet ready.

 

Haha, so which do you smell more- gas or fuel? ;D

 

I would definitely start with the fuel filter. It's only a couple of bucks and knowing how most vehicles are maintained it is the original. Even if it is the problem it's probably time for a new one anyway.

 

Well i went to mess with it this morning and it crunk up jus fine idk what the deal is, im going to get a fuel filter today its prob about time for a new one anyways

 

Maybe I'm in left field, but mine did that a week ago and it was the battery and alternator. Battery only had 10.6 v and the alt. was shot. Put the old battery box on it and drove it home. Check that first, hook up a jumper battery and see if the more volts gets it to run ok. Shocked the he## out of me cause I was lookin elsewhere for the prob.

 

It has a brand new battery and the alt is fine.

 

When was the last time you did plugs and wires?

Have you done ANY diagnosing yourself? We cant do it for you...

When this happens try checking for fuel pressure. Actually hook up a gauge to the schroeder valve.

Also, pull a plug and check for GOOD spark. Not yellow or orange. Good, blue, snappy spark.
