5 secs rough idle then dies

[Purple]

Here's a quick fix that I did, you might want to try this out when you are facing the same symptom.

Problem: Strong cranking action but doesn't ignite as easily as normal. And the car dies after about 5 seconds of very rough idle.

Fix: Opened up the fuel pump cover under the rear seat. Jiggled the connector as well as sprayed WD40. And the car is back to its normal self.

the old 'jiggle' fix works again :wink:

The human body is a very effective car repair tool. Some of the techniques I have honed over the years:

Finger jiggle
Spit clean
Fist thwack
Grip & rip it
Stand & jump on it
Solo push start

Usually combined with gentle phrases of coaxing, ending in aggressive yelling. :D
