My car has been sitting for a while, I went to start it up it fumbled a little so I hit the gas a bit and it died. Hood was open and I noticed some smoke comming from the air filter (just slapped the filter right on the manifold to start it quick) smelled like gas? Normal sitting issues? Any information on this would be great.

 

Bump

 

the car died because of massive vacuum leak? or too much fuel when u are trying to start it.. cranking it too long.. keep cranking it. keep it at 3k rpm to let it warm up, if it still dies. then that mean u have vacuum leak. make sure all ur fluids are good.

 

Thank you sir

 

Get any codes/CEL? Why don't you have an intake on the car, btw?

 

No codes, i have been cleaning and pulled the intake off in the process. She started up fine today.

 

Why hold it at 3K? Car should auto idle at 2K cold.

After having mine sit for 45 days, it fired right up, stumbled a little and than back up to 2k until it warmed up. I let it sit for 1-2 minutes before putting it in gear.

If memory serves me Honda only suggests an aggressive start, 50% throttle in extremely cold conditions. I would read into this before following this direction.

 

Probably fuel vapor. Let it sit for a while and try again.

 

holding at 3k just to keep the engine from stalling
