Title: Very occasional idle stall.
Post by Penguin on Oct 10^th, 2006, 11:58pm

Hi all

Wonder if you could diagnose this. Very occasionally (one in twenty or so starts) my car will stall out when it is first put in drive (or reverse). When the engine is restarted the problem goes away.

The problem can also never happens if the car is left a minute after starting the engine before taking it out of Park (but sometimes I forget).

Is this anything I should be worried about?

Cheers

Penguin

Mine did that too some time ago, but I had trouble codes in the machine which made me change O2 sensors and other stuff.

Got rid off the stalling problem. Other idle & driveability issues
still exist, but given the time to scan, tune, clean and poking
with different tools into different places inside the engine
department, I'll get rid off the too.

Get it scanned is my advice.
