Default S10 engine dies then revs...? - 10-16-2004 , 09:33 PM






I have been having problems with my Chevy S10
1.8 Litre (which has fuel injection),

I has been stalling but restarts,

Now the problem, in the last few days has gotten worse
with the engine is reving a bit high sometimes when starting.
Plus it maintains the higher rev when driving with the engine reving so
I would be going about 5mph from a dead start.

Its not reving super high but, its not right.
And its always the same higher rev.

This happens after a few hours sitting too.

Then all of a sudden after maintaining this
highr rev sometimes, it will goes to dying/stalling.

stalling can most times be prevented
by gunning it.

I tried cruise control on the highway and it seems to run
fine under those conditions.

I have been told this sounds like a idler motor
or vacum leak on the intake anifold.


Does this sound right?

thanks

Kevin

Could be a million things causing it. Checked the computer for codes yet?
