1997 Chev Cavalier Malfunction - Fuel System
Question: Hi Guys,
I bought this 97 Cavalier for my 16 year old daughter. The car runs fantastic.. with one little exception that for me would be no bother but for her is almost the end of the world and soon will be the end of a 100K engine...
Here we go...
When the engine is cold (like morning)the car fires up and idles great... NO PED / NO ISSUES,
Now When the engine is at operating temp (even like 10 minutes)and you shut off even for 2 minutes and try to start it will not start (of course tures over) UNLESS you keep you foot to the floor...I think it floods out if you don't (not really sure here)... One thing is clear is that if you hold the pedal all the way down this it will not start... Once it fires you can immeaditly let your foot off the gas and it will idle just fine... NOW TRY TO TEACH YOUR 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NOT TO SEND THE RPMS THROUGH THE ROOF :( almost an impossible task....
I hope to hear from you guys soon...

Technican: Hi,
Sounds like the most likely thing happening is that the fuel injectors are dripping and leaking fuel into the intake. The amount is likely slow enough not to cause a problem when you are driving, but when the car stops, the fuel pressure of the line drips into the intake and then has way too much fuel when you try to start it again. When the car is cold, the fuel dissipates and the engine is also able to burn excess fuel more easily.
A set of injectors should save your motor! Here's How To Get Guaranteed Solutions In Minutes
