Hello to all

Have a 1988 DL wagon 5 speed. How do i troubleshoot the trottlebody.This car has sat 3-4 years.I have clean gas to throttlebody will start runs 5 seconds and dies. I can pour gas into the throttlebody and it will run for say 30 seconds they want $60 for the injecter and $85 for the pressure reg how can I tell what I need.I know nothing about these cars just helping out a neighbor lady that delt with guys that took her money and tore the car apart.I really like this little car. Thanks for your help...Bob

sounds like fuel pump problem can you hear the pump running?

Yes pump runs fine I have fresh gas at the throttlebody just none going in?

you could try to clean it out, i was able to get a little scale out of mine with carb cleaner. you have to take it out of course, and you can clean out the idle air control valve too ??

Did you check for codes?

A faulty MAF might cause this. Unhook the intake boot and the MAF connector then have a freind crank the car while you look to see what the injector spray looks like. If you are trying to run the car with the boot off the TB and the MAF plugged in it will not work. I would think if the regulator was bad you would at least get it to start and run a little bit. If the IAC or CTS were bad you should be able to keep it running with the throttle.
