Here we go again.....
Ok, heres the story. Dont mind me if my typing doesn't make much sense, im so flustered with this thing i cant think straight.
My aspire swapped (engine as well) festiva would run great when you first started it up. After a few minutes, it would die, and when a restart was tried, it would almost act flooded, and hit a good bit of compression (enough so the started couldnt turn it over) So, if you bumped the key from start to on, than back to start, it would crank over again and than hit this "vapor lock" spot again.
After checking the CEL codes, I found a Code 09 (coolant temp sensor) I had requested in another thread some info on testing the sensor, but no one responded back. So, I replaced the sensor with a new one.
Well, now the car no longer "vapor locks" but it still has a hard time starting. When it does start, it will idle at maybe 100-150 rpm, very roughly for a few minutes, than will die out. No more codes though.
Im stumped on this one. Big time. The only thing aspire on the motor is really the block and all internals. This engine ran excellent in the aspire, and i didn't have it apart, so i cant be blamed on that. The intake, injectors, and the like are from the car that im working on now.
The plugs, wires, cap and rotor are all new, as is the Coolant Temp Sensor. I could possibly post a video if there is enough interest in this thread.
and another thing, more than likely related, that little module up near the coil, well, it heats up, big time. To the point where i cant touch it. Is that why it has that heat sink grease stuff on it?
lets try to not let this thread die. Its been almost a year for this project, i gotta get it done.
