HEY GUYS
I havent started the S in 1 week and I went to go start it yesterday and it almost stalled out twice. its a 2000 with 18k on her. It was 40 degrees so it WAS COLD and I had 1/2 tank of 93 octane. It started the RPMs dropped 2 or 3 times and them it finnaly idled smoothly.
ITS BONE STOCK too
Any idea why it did that?
thanks all

 

Obvious questions: Is there a CEL? Any codes being given?

That asside, I would guess fuel... when's the last time you replaced the fuel filter? Also, do you hear the fuel pump running when you first turn the key over (before you press Start)?

 

Yea i hear the fuel pumping
A CEL light does come on but then goes away after it blinks a few times. It started when I took off my airbox lid and drove around to hear the motor "growl" I put the lid on and it came on...

 

If the CEL stays on (and you can get the car to stay running), run it by Autozone and have them pull the OBD-II codes for you... it will likely go a long way towards figuring out the problem.

It could also be the one of the intake sensors (MAP, intake air temp, etc)...

 

Horrible idea. You might have run some dirt through the engine or killed/damaged a sensor.

 

ARE YOU SHITING ME^
No wait. I left the air filter on. Should be good

 

Any update? Did it repeat the problem?

 

Why do you own an S2000??

 

the maint. light comes on and blinks then goes away. but yea the car runs fine now!

totalimmortal...what the hell are you talking about

 

The Maintenance Light? I thought you meant the CEL... the Maint light comes on every 6000 miles. To reset it, turn the key completely off... push and hold the TRIP button, while holding the TRIP button, turn the key to the ON position and hold until the indicator goes off. It should take a few seconds.

Other than lighting briefly when you start the car, it shouldn't come on for 6000 miles again.
