Check the compression. If the compression is low the vehicle will be difficult to start. If that's not it you probably have something wrong with the injectors. Check the temperature sensor, air flow sensor and anything else that might be involved. If you can find a code scanner that works with your vehicle, that could be a big help in finding the problem.

Why is my 92 mercury topaz requiring me to give it throttle to start at any time?

Hello. i would suggest that the car needs atuneup. There are a few cheaper options to try first. Replace the spark plugs. If it has never been done it needs it anyways. That might be all it needs. Replacing the distributor cap and rotor are a good idea too. Even the spark plug wires. If you haven't used injector cleaner also put a bottle of it in next time you fill up with fuel. I used a set of NGK TR55GP plugs in mine and it starts beautifully now. Cost me about $20 for the 4 plugs. They are an iridium tip plug which helps on start up.


Am mechanic and when you start your car the engine it vibrate and shakes with white smoke come out of exhaust pipe what should do as mechanic?

White exhaust usually means that there is water in the combustion chamber and there is a crack somewhere. Pull out the dipstick and see if the oil is a milky white. If it is then you have either a cracked head or a cracked block. Heads cam be replaced somewhat affordable by a reputable mechanic, cracked block the engine is toast needs to be replaced.

Just put in dist engine wont fire but does pop back in carb if you want to start all over what do you do?

Remove all spark plugs, turn the engine by hand and get the #1 spark plug at TDC on the compression stroke. Install the distributor so the rotor is pointing to the # 1 plug position on distributor cap. Start the engine and set the time it with a timing light.Remove all spark plugs, turn the engine by hand and get the #1 spark plug at TDC on the compression stroke.

Why would a 1998 F150 with a replaced used engine stall when idling and sputter when accelerating?

Start with a good tune up, new plugs, wires, dist cap and rotor, fuel and air filter. Clean the idle air control and inside the throtle body, and run some injector cleaner through it.
