#28921, "Car is having problems starting..."


          

Greetings all,
I am having problems starting my car. I am not sure what is wrong with it. I just changed the oil and the spark plugs today but it still happens, it will act like it is gonna start but stays around 100-200 RPM and sputters then shuts off. The starter is turning over the engine so I don't think it is that. Any ideas? Thanks
Jon

maybe the plug wires aren't "clicked" on all the way. Maybe the plugs aren't in all the way, or maybe the gap is wrong. If you for any reason messed with the battery, make sure both terminals are making good connection, and/or aren't corroded. Could be the starter, could be the battery. A # of things to be checked out.

Maybe your fuel pump relay is going back. Thats what mine was doing. The relay is located back by the brake fluid resivior. You will see 2 black boxes. The one on the left is the fuel pump relay. It costs like 10 bucks.

go to discount auto parts and ask for a Ford Aerostar AC relay, any year. It will fit.
