Thanks for everyone's suggestions. I ordered a new intake boot from
Dad's in Sacramento, and fitted it this afternoon. I made sure
everything fitted right and was tightened properly. Unfortunately IT
STILL WONT START !!!
I made sure the crank-case bleeder hose (?goes from the RHS of the
bottom of the block to the bottom of the intake boot?) was tight,
carbon cannister is re-fitted, and everything.
It does the same thing as before - starts, then dies within about a
second or less.
I cleaned the air flow sensor (the big plate in the cone) - is it
possible I knocked that out of whack ?
General consensus is that it's a vacuum leak, but to kill my car this
totally, it seems liek it would need to be a big one !! Any tips on how
to find it ? Would it be a bad idea to pressurise the boot - say from
the carbon cannister hole ?
Thanks,
Mike.
