loyalelover Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 i took out the motor in my 91 loyale to replace head gaskets. when we got everything put back together, it ran for a few minutes, then started cutting out. checked the timing, spark, distributor, gas lines, air. pretty much everything. no clue where to look next.... it will start and idle (rough), but once you give it a little gas the car will die right away. any ideas?

Subruise Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 did you rotate the motor 360 degrees before putting on the second timing belt??? even if you did its easy to mis-align these things RV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 ...it will start and idle (rough), but once you give it a little gas the car will die right away. ... It sounds to me like a Vacuum Leak... I Kindly Suggest to Check for Vacuum Leaks... Good Luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Did you unplug the fuel pump by any chance? Or hook the hoses up backwards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalelover Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 not exactly sure what the problem was. now it starts up and runs. but with a very high idle. usally around 2,000. i tried to adjust the distriubator and the idle sensior. neither will lower or raiser the idle. i took off the rotor and replaced it with another. and same with the idle sensior. but still nothing. vacuum leak was my guess too. replaced all hoses and the spfi boot. thanks for all the help guys.
