Default Need Help in RENO
Is there anyone around Reno with any mechanical ability's? Or can anyone recommend a shop here?
The car will start and idle fine for about 30-60 seconds (no weird noises) then it sputters and dies. Fuel pump? Changed the fuel filter, cleaned maf, I don't think it's vapor lock anymore.
Honestly I have no idea whats going on. It just seems like it's not getting fuel but...the fuel pump has less than 8K miles on it.
