Sounds like a fuel delivery problem (possibly fuel pump) or a clogged fuel filter. Try checking the vacuum lines. I own a 92 Cadillac Seville and the exact same thing happens. It makes me want to drive it off a cliff. I thought it could be a clogged throttle body so I spent about 3 hours cleaning it and no result. If you ever figure out this problem please tell me what it was. car is starting up sometimes when has been running a while on restart 94 jetta what could be the problem? Try adjusting your idle speed. We own a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee that had the same thing happen. It ended up being a bad alternator, not what i was expecting but if you cant think of anything else give that a shot.
I am experiencing a similar problem with my 1999 Subaru Impreza. Generally when my car sits for a day or the temperature drops, the car will sputter upon startup until I push on the gas pedal. Sometimes it will even stall during this sputter. Basically it sounds like it has a fuel starvation problem upon startup on colder days. My check engine light finally came on and it turned out to be a problem with my Idle Air Control Valve (IACV). I took it apart and sprayed it with brake parts cleaner. I haven't had a problem since.
It would be the rubber pad that sits on your brake pedal. Unless they were referring to brake pads, which are the pads which enables your vehicle to stop by pressing the brake pedal.
clutch
The vehicle would stall when put in gear would be the fuel pump. The fuel pump is very weak which would explain why in neutral the vehicle starts if it gear it would have to have more gas.
AC runs on the battery. If the car is off and you run the AC, then start the car, it will stall.
I would suspect a lack of fuel pressure, replace fuel filter, check fuel pump.
A problem in the fuel line could cause it to stall. On a stick shift, letting off the clutch too soon would cause the vehicle to stall.
mass air flow
First of all the vehicle must have a manual or (stick shift) transmission. Then you will... 1.)Turn the key on as you would normally and leave it ON. 2.)Push the clutch pedal to the floor and hold it there. 3.)While holing the clutch put the transmission in 2nd gear. 4.)Have someone else push the vehicle to 10mph or as close as you can get. 5.)Release the clutch pedal and push the gas pedal 1/2". The vehicle will shake a bit and will come to life this is when you need to depress the clutch again as to not stall the vehicle. Easy. 5 steps. Just make sure you have enough room to drive the car. ALSO** you can substitute step 4 if you can get the vehicle to roll downhill
running out of gas? is it carburated?
It is called a gas pedal. Check that the air flow meter pipe isn't cracked!
If the vehicle is equipped with a fuel injection system, it may be clogged. When a vehicle has fuel injection, the gas pedal does not need to be depressed to get it started. It sounds like the vehicle needs to be taken to a mechanic.
Many possibilities. Have the cars computer checked for codes. The computer knows all.
