Car hiccupped, then quit running, help!!!!! So I decided today that I wanted to take my car to the drag strip to see what I could get it to do before I supercharge it. So I leave work, head to the gas station and fill my car up with premium, and head to Kilkare.
So on my car everything is cool, I even passed a few cars at just a tad over the speed limit. LOL. Well down the road from the course the car hiccupped going around a corner in 3rd, which was quite strange. Then it hiccupped again when I was driving around at low rpm when I gave it a little gas, which was very odd. Well I got up to the line, without a burnout, and when I went to go, my car just had no power. I could not give it hardly any gas to get going and couldn't get out of first even. The car then died and I coasted off the track and left my car sit.
Then my car wouldn't start. A couple times when it would turn over it would act like it wanted to start, but then it wouldn't. And after you stopped turning it over it would kinda catch a little and like keep going a time or two before it would. Like how a car will 'diesel' when it gets too hot and won't shut off.
I did try to pour a little bit of a racers alcohol stuff in there to see if maybe I got some water in there. The fuel pump is kicking on and also there is good pressure at the Schraider (spell check) valve but I check it tomorow to see what it is exactly.
Anyone have any ideas? I am going to check the fuel pressure tomorow and see if I have spark. Maybe I'll put some 91% rubbing alcohol in there to see if it will dry up any water in there. The car has a new fuel pump as well as new plugs and wires and a new opti-spark. What should I do? Any ideas?
