:talon: i have a 1g non turbo ok the car just wont idle at all when i go and start it up. i have shecked the timing and changed out my isc. the car still runs like crap it will idle for a few secs but then die man i'm sick of this problem any suggestions would help thank you!!!!!! :talon: :toobad: :confused: :cry: :sosad:
 
Something you may want to check is your fuel system. If it starts or idles bad then dies, you could have a fuel feed problem. If your spark plugs and stuff are all good then i would check out the fuel. Hope that helps.
 
Check spark plugs for spark, check ignition wires to make sure they are ok, check fuel pump, check BISS screw make sure its not all the way in or all the way out
 
the plugs and fuel is fine it is a new rebuilt motor with miles on it so i dont know i just might take it to my mitsu dealer and get a diagnostic check i dont know this has been going on since i bought the car
 
ya your best bet would be to take it in. Only other thing it sounds like is it could be is the alternator is bad or not powerful enough. Battery has the juice to start the car but alternator cant keep everything going so it dies.

could it be possible that when the motor was reinstalled that something grounded out not hooked up right? Well I hope you can figure it out. I know how frustrating it gets when a car wont cooperate.
