Barely Starts but only at High RPM
Thank you Steve.
I removed the AIrCleaner and pushed the Air Flow plate while my wife cranked the car. It barely started and the gas pedal had to be pushed all the way down. But as soon as she released the pedal, it dies.
By the way, the car has 3/4 full of gas. We repeated the above procedure several times and in one case, I didn't push the air flow plate which also started. We had the car running at high RPM for 10 minutes but as soon as the gas pedal is released it died.
After 10 minutes of reveing the engine and after it died, I removed the gas cap and I didn't hear the usual hissing sound.
Perhaps I don't have enough fuel pressure and what would cause it to go low. Do I need to replace the fuel pump? If I do, what else needs to be replaced while I'm down there?
I sincerely thank this forum for their advice. It been great and it's a great website.
