Ok... .I'm nearly at my wits' end with this thing...
History:
-Car sat for the better part of a year, being started and moved around occasionally.
-2 Weeks ago, serious effort began on putting this beast on the road
-Structurally sound, it needed brake work (rear discs/pads + one line), a motor mount, and fuel leak fixed.
-In troubleshooting the car, it had been started and stopped many times over the least month, the last time about 2 weeks ago (drove it up and down our rural road, getting up to about 50-60mph.
-After that, the brakes were done.
Current state: Car starts, but stalls out 5-10 seconds after starting. Pumping the gas at start, or not, makes no difference. It was running/idling fine, idiling in park was sitting at 1000rpm and sounded solid. There's about 187000 miles on this car.
In desperation, I had the car towed to a mechanic... He said that he could explore, but it would cost me... that the problem was either plugged injectors or the computer.
I know that there are a few regulars here who know this car very well... just looking for some pointers. Her'es what I'm considering:
1) Buying a computer at a wrecking yard and seeing what I can do. 2) Buying a second, running Grand Prix 2.8 and using the first one as a parts car 3) Scrapping it and buying something else.Any ideas? The car was given to me, and I've since put about $200 worth of parts into it.
Thanks.
Mark.
