Won't stay running




By kimblek2 on Apr 30, 2009

" "
1997 chevy s-10 had a problem starting and wouldn't stay running. I changed the fuel pump & no change, so I put in a new fuel pump and still the same. It runs if I dump fuel down the carburater. It has a new battery as I wanted to make sure the old battery wasn't the problem as it was running at 12.4 volts.. Thanks from kk.

- thanks for the great tips, long day, ya it has a carb and I meant when I dump gas down the throttle body, I have hosed it with carb cleaner prior to the other stuff, I will check the throttle body, good idea, I am also thinking that there maybe a problem with the roll over shut off. If you have any other ideas let me know, thanks from kimble.
