Not idleing correctly

Started an earlier post about how I installed a remote starter on my X. I though that the remote starter was causing the problems I'm having, but I unplugged the starter and it still happens so I think it is something else.

I start the X and it immediatly revs to 2,000 the starts to drop then I hear a loud hissing (fuel or fuel pump) and the engine starts to studder and then dies. I am able to keep it running by pushing the gas and keeping the revs high. Could this be a sign of a bad fuel pressur regulator, or oxygen sensor or some thing of that nature.

I wouldn't describe the fuel/fuel pump as a "hissing," thought maybe that's it. However, the first thing I think of for a "loud hissing" is a vacuum leak. Check the vacuum tree, vacuum hoses, etc. for a missing cap/hose/other leak.

i agree the fuel pump can mainl be herd befor start up. now the problem you are exp. sounds to me to be a leak in the air intake tube. check from the air filter box on up to the throttel body of the engine. i think you might find that the 5/8 hose connected toi the huge intake hose to be disconnected. sounds just like a mass air flow sensor malfuntion.

sorry for the late reply.

you guys were right
I remember testing the wires for the remote starter, and when I gave the engine a quick crank it backfired. This must have been why I found two hoses that had been blown off of the little fittings that sit on the intake manifold next to the windsheild wipper motor.

The problem is fixed and the remote starter works great!!!!
