Replying to: chucko3 (Dec 05, 2005 2:00 pm) I don't think my Volvo had a fuel pump problem, 'cause I kept it for a couple years after the incident, trouble free. It seems that once you FLOOD the car, and you don't drive it even till couple days later, it will STILL be difficult to start. Which to me sounds weird, since yu expect the "flood" to evaporate by then...

Why does my accord 93 4cyl front end shakes when I do hard braking on hwy? The frontwheel & steering wheel shake with obvious vibrations felt by hands. The brakes work just fine. I am bother by shaking motion. Are there any components worn out? I already replaced engine mounts.

Replying to: mamamia2 (Dec 05, 2005 7:01 pm) Any unburned fuel left in several cylinders whose valves are closed is in a closed environment - no where to evaporate to. By pressing the accelerator to the floor, you were able to clear the excess fuel out of any affected cylinders with the leanest possible mix during a cold start. Once enough cylinders were "firing" so that the engine could sustain itself, any remaining fuel would be blown out and the engine would've settled down to a smooth idle as it warmed. If the smoke you noted was BLACK, that, alone, cinches that one or more cylinders were flooded with raw gasoline. Your daughter may have inadvertently contributed to the problem if she had partially depressed the accelerator pedal when she started the car. It was probably partially flooded when she shut the engine down so quickly after starting the engine. Most (all?) owner's manuals advise not pressing the accelerator at all when starting electronic fuel injected engines, or only if necessary, FULLY depressing the accelerator pedal in extremely cold circumstances.

Given the age of your car it's just about a dead certainty there's moisture present if the fluid hasn't been flushed every two or three years. |
