Jumpy Start

[kHaNg]

Usually my car after being driven to say a parkling lot turned off and back on in a few minutes it idles quickly low to high at around 600-850 repeativly till i keep driving.
But today after a long drive and start it sputtered out and i was required to keep the gas on the pedal

any suggestion to check any sensors ?

It's that darn watchmacallit valve on the power steering pump.

engine light does flash until constant added fuel at startup to stay on..

Have you checked your fuel pressure when it won't restart hot?

 

[kHaNg]

i have not but i did clean out the throttle body and it does respond alot better restarting.
just trying to see more possibilities how would i go about checking the fuel pressure?

It's outlined in the TSRM. There also is a check in there for the CSI, engine temp sensor, and how to check your codes.

Not the CSI unless the injector is leaking.

The ISC could need a thorough cleaning. Another possibility could the a break in the AFM.

I don't understand your response about the error codes? Are you familiar with how to check them?

You don't need a book, look in the stickies under maintenence, the TSRM in the stickie provided for your use will tell you everything about your car
