    What's the Problem

    I have recently bought a 323 sport 2.0 it hasn't been four months since i got it but it started sputtering soon after it shut itself down and not for hell it won't start it's been in the shop for 3 weeks now. I've changed fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, Throttle position sensor & cleaned and vaporized injectors. Now it's barely starting but when i press the gas it sputters and dies. someone suggested changing the airflow meter. Any suggestions?

    323 sport 2.0? Never heard of such a beast. If you can borrow a known working afm to plug in, that'd be helpful. If it's boosted, look for an intake leak, even a small one will cause big problems. Clogged air or fuel filters?
    Check to see that you have fuel and spark at the cylinders. Go search the archives to learn how to pull ECU codes and post the results here...

      Fuel Pressure is low. when it shut down there was no spark in the plugs but i guess since it's starting the the spark is ok but the fuel pressure is very low

        if you have a new pump and low pressure, you have a blocked line, a clogged filter, or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

          My mechanic just told me that his diagnostic machine suggests that it's the VIVC Valve. does anyone know what that is?

            Well the 2.0l engine you have in your car has a set of butter flies in the intake manifold that open and close depending on vacuum. The part that he is suggesting is wrong is an electric solinoid or else the diaphram that opens or colses those butterflies is leaking
            Hope this helps

              Is anyone familiar with the VICS valve?
