Fuel Pump Help

[buttaz1]

ok so
my car needed a tune up so bad but i put it off cuz im a slacker,
so one day my car seemed to be miss firing. and it start with a really bad idle it would idle so low that even with gas it would start to stall unless you punched the pedal to the metal.
so today i did a tune up my first one to yay!!!
and it was easy everything seems to be right i didnt drive it cause i could here the engine. and then it started again the idle would go from 1 - 550 to 1 - 400 or somthing but if you gave it gas it would sound right but it would stop sputtering and i only reved it to 1k then i let it go and it stayed idled and then it went back to that bouncy stuff then i was like wtf i reved it to red line and let off and then the rpms kept going down all the way to zero and then it stalled some one help me
i couldnt find the pcv i hope thats the problem
i checked my coolant there were alot of suds in the radiator but there is water or something in there brown stuff. and then i also bled the coolant air valve. when i bled it the car idle normaly for a lil then it went back to the bs idling
hellpppppp thanks

Is the radiator full? Or is it low?

What all did you replace/fix in your tuneup?

No I meant as soon as it gets tight go another half turn and that is tight enough.

im guessing you have a carbed vehicle as u said your tuneup didnt work...carbs ftl.....put a hammer thru it and get EFI. then your tune up may work

[frantik]

put a hammer thru it and get EFI

[buttaz1]

lol not funny

I thought that if the coolant was low, the temp sender wouldn't be fully submerged or something and would cause goofy idle.

maybe its time to run some seafoam on the car....you might have lots of carbon....but it sound to me that your carb is not tuned right....and to tune it right...its a bitch and a half.

update 101 lol
i think i found out the problem yesss@@@!!!! i gatta wait till tommerow though

the fuel filter is behind my seat and i was wondering why it smelt like gas the night that the car started acting funny so i was like what the hell and ignored it and today the smell was stronger so much stronger so i went and pulled the semi postioned carpet in place and touch the carpet and was wet and it was water was pour'd onto the carpet but it is really gas though.
do you think thats enough? cuz i drove it a lil and it idled at the red lights it idled a lil below 1k it usaly does at 1k it stalled twice once leaving home and once coming home

[MessyHonda]

wtf some one bypassed the fuel line? and put a filter inside....lol

[russiankid]

I wouldn't drive around with a fuel leak...

[MessyHonda]

and oh yeah...no wonder you are getting bad MPG.....

Make an account on photobucket. Then upload the pics from your computer onto photobucket. Then the link under the image that starts with [img] is the one you need. Or you can upload them on www.imageshack.us, then just take the direct link and click the insert image button that is available when you post. It is the yellow button.
