so i recently changed my transmission my coils and water thermostat it was working fine until one night i was coming home and it just died on me out of the blue so it turns on i make it home. next morning car won't start i can hear the fuel pump so its working checked the fuses all good great battery just got it last year spark plugs are good. and when i turn it on, it only turns on with a wot, and when it turns on it splutters and then turns off after like 2 seconds and to keep it on i have to keep pressing the gas but its spluttering while its on?

 

Would help to know a couple of things:

-Model Year
-Engine
-Codes

 

indeed, plus what is "wot"?


water around spark plugs could cause spluttering

 

Read the codes

 

Wide open throttle also here in the states known as "wfo", wide frickin open.

 

Thanks. I thought it might be some start spray of sorts.

 

See my sig... has WOT and much more

 

No, you're thinking of 'SYB'

If that doesn't work, most people just mutter WTF under their breath.

And thanks to you and JAGV8 for improving my North American linguistic experience!

 

Not sure I can claim that as I'm from quite some way from there!

 

I see, but thanks in any case!

 

You're welcome.

Nor me. Start Ya Ba stard is from the land down under.

Where's Ken when you need him?

 

sorry guys i work night shift 6pm to 6am i get home and knock the f out after breakfast and a nice cold shower its 2002 s type 4.0 i haven't had time to read the codes i put oil in the spark plug and its turns on now but it like wants to stall and only splutters on rpm's lower than 1

 

the temp did go up but i pulled to the side before it went all the way to the red and when i slowed down to pull to the side it shut off on its own so i gave it 30 mins cranked it and i made it home so i thought it was a bore wash since my wife had turned it on and moved it. in the garage so the kids could play basketball and turned it off quick i was thinking it was that but now after putting the oil in the cylinders it turns on faster but just splutters at .5 rpm

 

Read the codes before you do any damage if you keep on overheating the engine then you could warp the heads.
you can buy an elm 327 from ebay or Amazon they cost peanuts and then use an program to check the car which are free but can not delete codes but you can buy this option.

thanks oh no car has not overheated since. just found no power to my coils only power to 2 of them
