GAS LINE DIY
1998 Saturn sl1 starts very rough and idles very hard?
ok so i have a 1998 saturn sl1 and recently when i start it, the rpms flutter up and down and the front of the car shakes quite a bit. This stops after about 10-20 seconds and then the car just idles realy rough and there is alot of vibration throughout the car. The car sounds louder/vibrate louder when in park or when coming to a stop at a stop sign or anytime i let off the gas it begins to get louder and vibrate alot.
after a while of driving the car it seems to quiet down a bit and i cannot feel it vibrating alot, but as soon as i park it for a few hours like while i am at work, when i go to start it again it repeats the process mentioned above. I would really like to know what is going on here.
Is this common in this year and make? Are there any cheap DIY things i can try to see if it helps?
The only thing i put in my car is fuel line antifreeze once every 2-3 fill ups. I use regular unleaded gas as well.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Fuel line antifreeze such as heet is not to be used so often as it is hard for gas to freeze because of the components in it. Once in a very great while it is ok because condensation on the side of the tank does occur. Not very often though. Sounds like a fuel regulator problem. the car may be flooding and thats why it sounds like it wants to die.
