Starting issues on pontiac firebird 1989 formula 5.0 h.o
I just recently purchase the car. When i
arrive the dude had it with jump cables.
He tried turning it on but it fail. He bang
the starter and then the car turn on but
had trouble staying on. After a few
seconds he tried again, this time it turn
on with out having to bang the starter
but the jump cables were still attach.
Few minutes later we tried it with out
the jump cables and it turn on fine. But
thwn had the car towed to my home
about 20min. Away and tried to turn it
on and it failed. Anyone knows why is
doing that? Need help. Really need it
running.
What do you mean "hth"?something i forgot to mention, the car has been sitting in the same place without moving or turning on for about a month, according to the previous owner.
Thanks. I will start from there.
I change the battery and got a new starter. Turns on fine but it wont stay on. For about 15sec it will stay on then turn off. What would cause this problem?
Heres another picture. I was told i need to buy a new carburetor. I need a second opinion.
I will check on the aftermarket alarm and double check the throttle for leaks. Thank you.
So the car stayed on after it warm up. Once it warm up gas was leaking from the canisters. I was told it only supposed pass vapor. Is the canister bad? Or since gas is leaking could it be from somewhere else causing the problem? The gas tank is half full
I found a replacement. So thats covered. Now i need to check the lines. Is it safe to keep turning on the car?
I have a 1989 thats doing the same thing but everyone is telling me its the fuel filter?
