hows it going
i have an 84 sr5 86. So far i been getting my maintenance up to date. I have replaced plugs, wire set, cap and rotor, vacuum advance, few hoses that were cracked, hot idle compesator was clogged so i replaced it and also an oil change was done. I also tried cleaning up the carb with some cleaner at autozone. Last saturday night i was able to start up the car by just turning the key, when it does i just give it lil more gas to keep it alive. When i took at look at the engine bay i just open up the throttle wide open to see how much more cleaning needs to be done. If its open quickly i get a pop out of the intake.
I just left alone, let it idle and drove it around my neighborhood.
The next morning i try getting the car started and it wont budge. I can start the engine but it stumbles i try giving it gas but it doesnt seem to work and it just dies. I try giving it another shot before turning the key i give it 2 pumps on gas and start it. I get the same results, it starts but stumbles i give it gas to keep it alive and it just dies. Thats all i been getting that day. I tried today and same results, i cant figure out whats wrong i have no leaks, hoses that were needed to be replaced have been.
any thoughts?
thanks

If you have a carb, check the float level, I had crazy, similar problems until I re set the float level to lower the fuel level..CH

Thanks, i got the car started i just covered the intake poured fuel into the carburetor and it started after few tries. The only problem i got is it stumbles a bit at the beginning of the accelaration and it gets better when my revving gets higher.
