Now the van starts but runs as if it is staved of fuel. It will idle for about 10 to 15 seconds normally than begin to miss and stall. Prior to the ignition switch failing the van ran perfectly. I had made repeated attempts to start the van with the bad switch and believe this may have damaged something else. All of the fuses check fine and I also replaced the anti theft diode. One of the relays in the block under the dash does seem to be goin off and on while attempting to run but I haven't identified what function it does. Any ideas as where I should be looking?

All under the hood seem fine.

Coil pack was out of spec but new one didn't fix problem. Fuel preasure in rail is good and steady. Will still start and idle for awhile but if I apply the pedal it will bog out. If I release the pedal quickly it will resume idling for a bit but will stall out.

What was the fuel pressure reading? Try cleaning the MAF sensor with the correct cleaner. Make sure to clean the sensing wire, it's hard to see.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
