Okay guys...thinking cap time
Car 1988 CSX-T
Shel-Game Cal, +40's, 3 bar map, 255 pump...otherwise 100% stock engine (for now hehehe)...all mods are bolt on's currently (exhaust, intercooler, under drive, yadda, yadda...you guys know the spill)
This problem has only recently started occurring...no changes to the car have been made modifications wise. The problem occurs no matter what the gas or what the weather...purely dependent on if I cut off the car and restart it before the engine cools down.
Car starts up cold and drives fine...when I get back in the car and the engine is still warm...and I restart...it idles terribly belching black smoke out the back like it's running extremely rich. If I try and rev it it will just idle back down and stall out...same if I try and drive it. The only fix I have found is to give a little help with the throttle blade which will send the revs higher ='s no problem.
I'm not losing fuel pressure after shut down...and if the engine gets cool again it starts normal. I've been thinking maybe CTS but I have not seen any codes...I've also thought about vapor lock but I would think that would create a no start situation? When this situation happens I usually just shut the car off and try restarting it a few times and eventually it acts as if the idle speed motor catches the idle before it drops and I'm all good.
Anyway...the car runs fine otherwise.
Any Ideas?
