Default Re: engine stalls on acceleration

Sorry was a bit of a check for knowledge. That said you need four things to run: fuel, air, compression, and fire. If any are missing it won't run.


Are some simple tests for triage but generally takes two people or a remote starter button.


1) remove engine cover. Place hand over intake, crank - do you feel suction (can use a piece of cardboard it have delicate hands)


2) Pour some gas (1/2 oz) into MAF taking care to miss sensor. Crank. does it fire or struggle ?


Report back on what happens (or find a neighborhood gearhead).
