Keeps Dying out

Mikeo4o · 06-03-2004, 02:51 AM

I have a 93 SC2, recently we put a new engine in and it won't run right. The problem is that everytime i go to drive it it runs for maybe 10 minutes then it dies out like no gas.Teh after maybe another 10 minutes it will start right up. So we put new thermostat, fuel filter, spark plugs, and did a check on the fuel pump. no luck? I was hoping maybe someone else has had this problem and can help? PLEASE I NEED HELP!!!

so, how does it "die?" does it stall on you? you might wanna check the TB idle screw thingy: just take a torx screwdriver (I forget what size) and screw in the screw until you get the desired idle.

Is there spark when the engine dies and won't start?

im having a simmilar problem now i did the fuel filter and all that too and it didnt help so i gave up and took it to a mechanic and he said that hes pretty sure its either the injectors or the fuel sending whatever or whatever it is that actually tells the fuel injection to work... i guess he ordered that and i havnt talked to him lately so i dont know if it came in yet and/or if it fixed the problem ill prolly talk to him today or tomarow.....

the "fuel sending unit", its computer controlled, aside from that tho, arent there 2 fuel pumps, one inside the tank and and one outside, i know that its like that on other cars but not totally sure about on saturns, either way you might want to check that.

Change the ECTS.

Saturns have a SINGLE fuel pump in the TANK. You will need to determine exactly WHAT goes away that makes the car "die", either fuel or spark. I suspect you will discover that it is SPARK, not fuel, that you are losing. The help of a mechanic may be in order here.. if indeed it is SPARK you are losing after the car has run for about ten minutes, or only when it is "hot", this suggests a failing CSP (Crankshaft Position Sensor) but without some more diagnostic work, that is strictly a GUESS.
