[QUOTE="gtovette, post: 141953, member: 2145"] Hey all, it's been a long time since I've been on this forum as my 89 beauty has been sitting for a number of years. Back in August I got my hands dirty and got her going. New battery, Oil & filter, drained the fuel tank of 60 litres of stale gas, pulled the plugs and sprayed a little lube in there. Long behold she fired up and ran pretty good so I brought her home and drove her around town. I had full intentions of flushing the rad but was enjoying driving her again. So, last week I topped up the coolant because the Low Coolant light was on. Immediately following that I took her out for a little run filled up the gas tank and then parked in the garage. A few days later I started her up, backed out of the garage and then she stalled on the driveway. Since then the cooling fan comes on right when you turn the key, the engine fires then stalls right away. If I give her some gas she will start but I need to maintain the RPMs at or above 8. The fuel pressure is strong and around the 41psi mark. Yesterday I changed the coolant temperature sensor thinking it has something to do with my topping up the coolant. Any help would be appreciated I'm not a licensed mechanic by any means but can make my way around an engine bay. Would like to get her going before the snow flys. [/QUOTE]
