Reader Question

Hello again this is Donald and I was wondering if you could possibly help me out with this question I have a 1997 Monte Carlo with the 3100 V6 motor in it and I have been getting shit for gas milage lately and when the car starts in the morning it starts fine but when you warm it up and shut it off and leave it sit for about an hour and then go to start it again it wont start and stay running unless you push the accelorator to the floor to let the enging breathe.

I think it is getting to much gas and when it does start you can smell gas so today i took the vacum line off of the fuel pressure regulator and smelled it and it smells like gas and i dont think it is supposed to so i was wondering if maybe the fuel pressure regulotor was going bad in it what do you think and can you please tell me if it is hard to change.

Can anyone do it and if i need any special tools to go with it i have been getting about 22 mpg and should get like 29 hwy mpg right. Please email me back as soon as possible when you get this message.

Thanks Donald

 

Hey there Donald,

I think I would have your throttle body and idle speed control motor cleaned first and see what that does. If those items are dirty, they will cause rough idle, dying at idle, and slow/extended start complaints.

Also worn out spark plugs, spark plug wires, a weak fuel pump and a dirty fuel filter could also cause your complaint….but I don’t think you have a fuel pressure regulator problem from what you mentioned.

Blessings,

Austin Davis
