Title: Random Stalling
Post by atressler on Aug 22^nd, 2005, 7:53pm

The first time it stalled, I had been driving the car for about 2 minutes, put it in reverse, and then it died on me. It took about 3 cranks before it started again.

Second time, i came to a stop, went to accelerate, then died on me. Again, it took about 3 cranks with the help of giving it some gas to get it started again.

What i also noticed was when i am in reverse, and start to accelerate, the car sputters when i only give it VERY little gas. This has only happened once in Drive, but a couple times in reverse.

Please, someone help me out! Thanks in advance.

Clean the ICV these are syptoms of the ICV needing attention or possible a new one.
Read previous post regards this problem.

ah, yes, the engine idles a WHOLE lot better too, now that i cleaned the ICV. Hopefully that will also stop the stalling. Thanks.
