107387, Engine Missing at idle and dies....
Posted by TJBrown, Jan-19-08 09:18 AM
I replaced the Head gasket on my car last weekend and worked like atop all week. I went to fluch the heater code today and all was well but as i was topping off the coolent with Anti-Freeze to finish up this jop, the car started to spit and sputter and died. I can try to crank it and it stubles and dies again after a few 10 seconds or so if it even cranks then. If you try to bring the RPM's up, it stubles and dies.
I routed the coolent from the heater core away from the engine with water hoses so i wouldnt get the engine compartment wet so i dont think that is the issue. Also, i am getting no CEL's. Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

did you check your cam and crank sensors, and your plugs and wires?

The Wires and Plugs are good. Woudn't the Sensors cause a CEL? I also just replaced the Fuel Filter just in case.

Looks like the Fuel Pump went bad. Took it out, replaced it and works like a top again.
