Stalled out, new fuel pump, still no start?
OK so I was driving to San Antonio, its a 2004 MT with 116,000miles and I'm on cruise doing 85 at ~4k rpms. it kinda feels like im burping the throttle like tiny little losses of power. All of a sudden, complete power loss. i downshift and get it to the side of the road. when i get it stopped, ive got the clutch in and i notice its still idling at ~1k rpms. i rev it and it has no problem going all the way to redline. i get back on the road, get up to speed just like normal, and drive another 75 miles at about 75mph. No problems until I get off the highway and as im going up an on-ramp, same thing. Total loss of power. I ease it over to the side of the road again. this time, no idling and it wont start back up. the first time it didnt even die, just bogged down.
I have it towed to the dealership, they say it was that the fuel pump went out, and i have some carbon buildup and the CEL is throwing misfire codes. they said that it died because of the fuel pump and lack of fuel but still recommended changing the coils and plugs anyway.
i have it towed back to my house and swapped the fuel pump 2 days ago. now it still wont start, but sometimes in cranking it makes a sound like its about to catch and the RPMs jump a little but it wont catch or start.
Ordered 4 coils today that will be in tomorrow morning and im going to pull the plugs tonight and clean them and see how bad the carbon is.
tried the deflooding procedures and searched all over the forum but still cant find anything that helps. hopefully its just that the coils finally crapped out when it died and thats whats causing it not to start but does anyone have any other suggestions? I could really use some help here.
