More likely the battery, try starting the car with no electrics running (interior light, fans, wipers etc.) when it fires rev it up a few times and let it idle for a bit before pulling away if it runs fine after this you can use you electrics as normal . if its an auto pull away slowly if its a manual pull away with more revs than normal but very slowly engage the clutch.
try injector cleaner or newer fuel cleaners, try octane booster, sounds like a fuel delivery symptom but the temperature factor is a worry. I would guess injectors.
Well this answer is going to be a bit fuzzy.
Code 51 is for a switch signal issue. The possible causes are the throttle position switch, the neutral safety switch, and the ac compressor switch. One of those three is not sending a signal to the computer. So if its the ac switch, you know why.
But all three would need to be checked out.
A similar thing happend to me turns out it was the idle rev cold switch thing> basically the switch which provides more fuel and revs when the car is cold, so that when you start the car it doesnt just die off. the switch itself is a bit mechanical and is perhaps jammed on the full on position. If it happens more when the car heats up. then it is this switch.
what you can do is start your car one cold morning and see how high the revs are, if its still high then its probablly not the switch
sounds like the fuel line still has air in it. this should correct itself if you can get the engine to run long enough. fuel pressure builds on the pump side of the fuel rail and when there is an exess ammount of pressure (lack of fuel consumption) the fuel regulator should send the extra gas back to yhe tank to run thru again. try holding down on the accelerator when starting this should send extra fuel to the injectors and may help "prime" the line. you cant flood the engine so dont worry about that just dont over rev the cold engine. this should clear up on its own. the only other thing it could be is an obstruction in the fuel filter or the inlet sock on the in tank pump. if thre was a lot of sediment in the tank it got sucked up withe the last bit of gas in the tank, you may have to change out the filter.
the idle air control valve may be bad or just needs cleaned out. idle air control valve acts the same as a choke. if it is messing up it will cause engine not to run right.
Does it run rough when stalling at 1000rpm or does it seem like the rev limiter is taking over (just revs and stope). If running and just stopping you man wanna have your ECU reflashed (common problem). If running rough you may have some other issues and need a diagnostic. Try going to your local auto parts store and having a code scan (its free) and see what codes if any are present.
hi there sounds like you need a tune up or you need your injectors cleaned so i will help you clean them with out getting your hands dirty but you need to follow me every step of the way. first i will give you my tips
get a high quality fuel injector cleaner that you put into your fuel tank
make Shaw you have just under a full tank of fuel
while i never say that one should drive a car like it is a toy you are going to have to do some harsh exhilarating during this
1000rpm is 1 revs on your dash bored so if i say do 2500rpm it means do 2.5 on your dash (that's only if you dot know what rpm means)
never turn the car off while we do this
please do not speed you put your life and others at risk
please do not drink and drive
OK now for the step by step instructions
have what you need ready to go including the injector cleaner
start your car and let it warm up keep the revs just over 1000 rpm
as the car is running add the fuel injector cleaner
when you have done this i want you to increase the revs to about 2000rpm
keep it like this for about 30 seconds
after the revs are back down to 1000 rpm i want you to get ready to take it for a drive
OK so take it for a light drive around your street keep it very close to home as if your car stops you don't want to have to walk a long way
once you have done this for a while and you feal confident i want you to be a bit quicker in exelarating giving a bit more power remember dont speed
now once you have done this i want you to take her home and let it idle for a bit cause you need to get ready to go for a long drive
now that you have got to the bathroom and are ready to go i want you to find a nice open road where you can do 60mph
now that you are here i want you to act like ther is a road train in front of you doing 50mph
now i want you to overtake this road train applying full power by pressing fully dont on the gas
once over tiaken slow back down
i want you to do steps 11 to 13 twice at least
now go back home and let me know how it went
now something to remember for alwase
as stated i dont think you should race or rev the motor all the time to high once a month give it a good run this will loosen and clean all the rubbish from the motor and everythink will run freeley like it should
dont drink and drive
dont speed
saty safe on the roads you life is to valued
and let me know all progress as i want to know if it helped as i pout in a lot of time and effort to helping people on this site
