I turn the key, the engine turns, if I turn the key just one click, the fuel pump starts, I get fire from the sparkplug wires.... what could be possibly wrong?

I have plenty of gas :P


It now want's to start but sputers and dies

 

i'd have to say, change the fuel filter, maybe some new plugs just to be safe and have some good ones in it, maybe even the plug wires. basicly just do a full tune up on it and see if that helps. start simple.

 

Check your fuel rail pressure. Could be a lot of things. Any codes? Some more infor would help.

 

Yea my 97 neon sputters when i first start the car but if touch the gas when its first started, when its cold the car will stall so i have to let it warm up for a min or two then i can drive it and be able to touch the gas with out it stalling on me. But i had to hook my rad fan up direct power cuz one of the sensors is gone for the fan relay. So maybe it’s a map sensor or a coolant sensor or one of the fuse. Hope this helps. Some of these problems can be such the mystery.[sm=confused06.gif]
