Need help

[WhiteGS420]

I am new to all of this but here is my problem
I have a 95 GS with 100k+ miles on it, the only engine mod is an Injen intake. Latley the car is running very lean and while driving it will start to buck and sputter. Also at stop lights it will just shut off for no reason.

any body have any ideas that will help me fix this problem?

Have you replaced your oxigen sensor lately??

Anny check engine lights??
another thing it could be :

check for leak swhere air could be seeping in between the throtle body and the Maf unit..if you got an opening there that could be your problem... i might be wrong though

First, how do you know that it is running lean? It may not be at all...

For symptoms like you are having it is best to just start with a general tune up if it hasn't been done lately. When is the last time the plugs and wires were changed? A fouled plug or a broken wire could cause things like this.

If nothing has been done lately, I would start with Plugs, wires, fuel filter and run a bottle of fuel system cleaner threw it. That shouldn't cost very much. If that doesn't take care of it then come back and see if we can figure it out...but it's hard to say if them things aren't up to par first.

good luck

i had a problem similar to that when i first got my rs. it ended up being a loose vaccum hose.

I would bet either a loose hose or in desperate need of a tune up. just make sure all hoses are connected and then change your plugs, wires , fuel filter and for the f___ of it change the pcv valve.

good luck

it probably is running rich versus lean. that is usually because of a bad o2 sensor, but usually the cel will be on.

Too bad you can't check ignition timing, I know this can't be it, but I have to admit it is hard to trust a computer, know what I mean? Anyway, Oxygen sensor, and vacuum hoses, those cars are picky!
