Engine Tech / '88 2.3 turbo cuts out/missfires on warmup
Quote from: Jthunder;297149
My 88 turbo coupe starts fine cold, just as it is getting warmed up it cuts out like is is running out of gas. Once it is warm it goes away.
I am guessing a temp sensor or somthing. Anybody had this happen to them? Thanks John
When you say "as it is getting warmed up," do you mean you're letting it idle? Or are you saying as you're driving it slowly to get it up to temperature? I wouldn't overlook the basics, like making sure it's got good spark plugs. MY '87 would cut out when it was cold, especially if it was under just a few pounds of boost. The plugs weren't terrible but were a bit worn.
