Title: Stalling weirdness?
Post by: Debs. on 28 April 2011, 13:20:07
Twice recently my 2.5 V6 has stalled (multiple times) when selecting drive or reverse (when hot)....and has had one episode of not wanting to fire (also when hot), but showing plenty of willingness to crank and which (most unusually) required heavy-accelerator to catch-it to run.....Once running she drove well.  :-?

I have cleaned the idle vale in solvent and checked for intake air-leaks, she has a fully charged battery and there`s no EML showing. :-/

What should I look to next?......Clippy-tricky?

Debs - you can't bugger anything up, its all robust stuff :y

Even if you short 12v and 0v, it'll simply just pop a fuse (F12 from memory - the one that powers radio).

Ok, thanks to a timely kick up the butt from Jimbob this morning; I`ve plucked up the courage to do my first paperclip test! :y

It`s a video of 'two halves': once-through with engine off, then again with engine running (from cold start; so forgive the SAI pump making it sound like a Fergie-bach tractor!)

Is it?:
12....31....12 (engine-off)
12.....12....12 (running)
