The engine will start but when you give it gas it just idles and then quits.
Do you
have the same problem?

Hi,

Either we are not getting the fuel needed or there is a large vacuum leak. When it starts, does it idle normally or does it have a rough idle? Are there any odd odors or smoke from the exhaust?

Do me a favor. We need to see if there are codes stored in the computer that may help. This vehicle has an OBD1 system that doesn't require a scanner.

Follow the directions in this link and let me know what is found:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
