Sputtering, lost throttle

[JessesTalon]

Well my 90 gsx is having some issues, Its in Oregon and hasn't been run in a while and its VERY VERY low on gas...

Before there were no issues car would drive fine...


I came back to Oregon to visit, dead battery, flat tire... so fix both of those and take her for a drive, no boost everything was fine...

anytime at all I would hit boost it would start sputtering like it has a rev limiter wherever it was and would start spitting flames and no power.


I'm wondering if this is bad gas after months of sitting..

I let it properly warm up and idle and it idled great for about 15 minutes, gave it a few revs just to clear its throat, and all was fine, but anytime it would try to go into boost (as in just out of vacuum, it would go way rich and practically flood out the system.


Anyways so its doing this and I am saying screw this, I'm going back to my house so I head back and then the throttle stops working all together, I mean the vacuum would go between 20-0 but never into boost and it would make no sound as if it were getting higher rpms or anything(RPM's dont work under throttle ecu issue).

i was going downhill back to my parents house where it is parked so I coasted down this 15% grade hill then turned into the street and 0 throttle, like the gas pedal wasn't even connected... Almost as if the injectors wouldn't push any fuel anymore

Anyways so we push it up a slight incline after turning onto there street and start heading down the hill into my parents cold-e-sac, and it died (battery is dead again whatever) so i put it in 2nd and let the clutch go as i roll down into the cold-e-sac it starts back up fine, throttle starts working again and I go park it and I'm sitting there like wow, that is weird... the car was running fine again and no way to diagnose anything...

I'm wondering if the gas in the lines was just bad from sitting, maybe some condensation or something. I then let it idle gave it a few revs and it acted fine I turned it off and said whatever...

If you have ever had this kind of a problem with a car sitting and the gas being not so great, please let me know, before this the car was running great...

You should check for boost leaks, check your spark plugs, test the battery and alternator, drain the fuel and refill it with some good stuff, change the fuel filter and then let us know how everything acts after you've done ALL of this stuff.

I'm sorry maybe you didn't understand what I am trying to say...

Did bad gas make these conditions happen for you, if not I don't need your opinion. thanks


not to mention I said I lived in Arizona, and visiting for the weekend in Oregon, (1300 miles apart, im not going to change anything anytime soon)

Post questions when you're ready to fix the problem.

My opinion? Do you even know what you're asking?
You post a bunch of questions and get pissed off when I help you try and fix them....

Go away....
