sputter sputter run die
bout a week ago i was driving around and my car started to sputter and have rough idle...i thought it was running on fumes so i filled up at the gas station..it fires right up and i thought all was dandy. well the other i started it after driving 30 min and it had rough idle again so i gave it some gas and it smoothed out to normal. i drove back home and let it sit for awhile before i went to work and it would not start. it cranks over so its not the battery...any ideas? i tried it again today and did minor trouble shooting and looked at the forum but nothing popped out at me. injectors? fuel pump? spark plugs?

Re: sputter sputter run die
clean your battery cables at both ends. The terminal connections also need to be taken off the end of the cable and cleaned as there is almost allways corrosion in there. Last if the body ground is super rusty like my car is, might think about adding a new body to engine ground wire somewhere else.
This fixed my SVX's stalling issues. If it doesn't fix yours, atleast you will have any grounding issues messing with your testing of the sensors.
