Help please!! Bad start-up, car dies if i hit the gas, and has no power
 

alright its really scaring me:confused:, my ti is having a serious problem starting up, i have to turn the key and let it crank for like a minute or two before the car turns over, and then when it starts the whole car like shakes and the rpms are super low and then the car just dies, then i will crank it again and it will start then die, and if i so much as tap the gas the car dies, once its finnaly started i have to let it sit for a good 5-10 mins before i can get going, and it feels like it has no power i mean it is running really slow, it takes me forever to get going and it always feels really boggy and weak and when i hit the gas there is somewhat of a delay, i have no clue, i do know that my exhaust is pretty rusted and looks like it needs replaced but im not sure, can anyone help me please:help:

Is the oil cap securely fastened? Possible cracked intake boot?

I will check the oil cap, and i just replaced the boot yesterday and it did not change it, i think it has to do with my mass air flow also but i do not know what it could be

Could be something as benign as a fuel filter. Could be the crankcase vent hose also.

I replaced the fuel filter about a month ago cause i thought that, i also replaced the fuel pump since it needed a new one but neither fixed it, not sure of the crankcase vent hose, could you enlighten me on this please, thanks

Big black hose that goes from the valve cover to the crankcase valve on the intake manifold near the brake booster. The crankcase valve could also be the problem. If you pull the oil cap off while the car is running and it's sucking air in, the ccv needs replacing. Also causes horrible idle.

Scan it if you have a scan tool.

I would start with the mass air meter. Unplug it and try starting it.

Oh alright i will check the hose and is there any way to test the valve? I will see if the ccv is sucking in air, i think im going to need a new ccv either way that thing along with my exhaust is pretty beat up and it spits out alot of moisture or fuel im not sure which but its pretty rusted out

Right after the air box... what year is your car?

Let me know what happens when you unplug that and try starting it.
