So I've narrowed it down to ignition, as to what, I don't know. Doesn't seem to be wiring but i'm not ruling that out...My car's RPM's will dip before they increase and the car has a bad problem of flooding, it's not a fuel problem, i've replaced all the fuel system. If it was a coil it wouldn't crank at all correct? could a coroded cap and rotor be the cause? I've never seen a cap and rotor cause something as serious as this...the car will cut out at idle and at high RPMs (If I can even start it) It will sit there and idle and the rpm's will go crazy and if I try to give it gas then the rpms drop to 0 before the rev up. I'm stumped

 

What mods are done to it? Have you pulled off the distributor cap and inspected? How do the spark plugs look?

 

maybe dirty injectors???

 

I found out what it was... ICM. It has a short in it and I'm strapped right now right before christmas...looks like it's gonna sit for a few weeks

 

whats an icm???

 

ignition control module.

 

oh thanks

 

Are you sure? Did you test it with a Voltmeter?

Reason I ask is because I had a smiliar problem with an elusive engine ground...

I thought it was coil, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, ICM, distributor...

Turns out it was a loose ground... And considering your car was flooded, a ground could be corroded and not making complete contact, giving you the problem you describe...

 

Well I did test with a mutlimeter and I was getting no voltage from it, so I shook the ICM and tried moving it around to see if it had a short in it and tested it again and it was fine...Although I guess it wouldn't hurt to make new ground wires or clean them up...
