check fuel to engine from fuel pump.or a clogged up fuel filter.
it could be weak spark plugs.
so my problem is when car is cold it would start with no problem. But will idle for about 5 sec and die. RPM's will jump couple of times from 700 to 1500 and dead.... After been driving it its start right up and no problem idling. Also when you push it a little..... it dies too. After open throttle for about 10 sec and coming to complete stop it would die too.... Sounds like ECU to me or maybe something else?
the engine will turn over but sometimes wont start. it also sometimes dies while its idling. whats going on
Either it starts and dies, or it will not crank.Either it starts and dies, or it will not crank.
One way is to disconnect your remote start and see if the battery dies over the next few days. If not then reconnect the remote start and see if it then dies....if so then yep its your problem.
What dies?
Things to check. Does it crank? If not,battery, starter, If it dies crank, fuel pressure, spark, check engine light codes.
A car that is idling rough and then dies could have several potential issues. Common causes include a dirty or failing idle air control valve, a clogged fuel filter, or problems with the ignition system, such as worn spark plugs or faulty coils. Additionally, vacuum leaks or issues with the fuel injectors can also lead to rough idling. It's advisable to have the vehicle diagnosed by a mechanic to pinpoint the exact problem.
A quick way to tell if there might be a problem with an alternator is to remove the positive side battery cable from the battery while the vehicle is idling. If the engine dies, odds are there is an alternator problem.
maybe the carburator I had this problem on my 97 lincoln town car, turned out to be s crack in my intake manifold. once it was fixed..no problem.
crank sensor
Could be a fuel delivery problem, start with replacing the fuel filter.
