'96 Sunfire problems
Monday, May 23, 2005 1:00 PM
I just got a 96' sunfire from a friend from work. She drove it everyday, never had a problem, but got in a car accident and sold it to me for 100$. The accident didn't do any damage aside from crushing the driver side door. The car sat for two weeks before I was able to pick it up from her. When I did it took a while to start, but did, I backed it out, shut it off, checked everything on it out, tried to tart it and it took so long I had to jump the battery. It finally started and drove almost 10 miles back to my house before breaking down. After breaking down it would not start at all. I got it home, sprayed some starting fluid in the intake this morning, and it started right up. After about 15minutes and a drive around the block, it died and won't start up again. It seems like when it heats up it just dies. Anyone have any idea on this. It's a 1996 sunfire with the 2.2 OHV engine, auto trans.
