my car keeps stalling....if i crank it up and give it gas immediatly its ok ....sometime ok for alittle bit then stalls again.

 

How do you know it's flooding?

 

Sorry, wrong thread.

 

well i don't kno wut its doing in all honesty....it starts up and shuts rite off.

 

At this point I would look at a fuel delivery problem. You're getting spark to at least start the car, and from your first post, run it a short while. It also seems the fuel pump is starting and temporarily providing fuel. I don't know when the fuel filter was changed or how many miles are on the car, but if the fuel filter is old and within easy access, that would be a cheap and easy try. After that you'll need to test the fuel pressure. Will the car at least idle?

 

no the car won't idle....and it has roughly 148,000 on it. I notice when i try to crank it up there a bad smell to the engine, esp. when i rev it up.

 

Now you say you can rev it? Does that mean that as long as you maintain high rpms the car will run, but as soon as the revs drop off the car stalls? What kind of a bad smell, gas?? or rotten eggs?

 

It smells like somethings burning. And yes as long as i keep giving it gas its ok. As soon as i let go of the gas*the car won't go idle. It just shuts off. And smells like somethings burning.

 

You'd be best to take it to a repair place and let them do a hands on diagnosis.

 

Just got the car back from the mits dealer. It still does the same thing every now and then. He did a full dianostic on it. Changed some gaskets and soem ball bearing? Not only is it doing this. The car keeps jumping in and between gears. Like the acceleration is off or something.
