Stalling weirdness?
« 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?
