johnblv Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Hi, I am experiencing intermitant stalling. The car has 175,000 miles on it and has been great! The stalling started about a month ago - weather the same as usual. The car would start fine. Started pulling it out of the parking space at work - went about 15 feet and it stalled. Would not restart in "N" - just cranked. Put it in "P" waited about 15 seconds and it started. Drive it home from work - 62 miles - no problem. About 1 week later, started it, pulled from the parking spot, went about 100 yards and it died. Tried to start it in "N" = cranked, no go. Shifted to "P" - started and drove 62 miles back home. Had the fuel pump replaced -$800.00. Now a little history = Had the check engine light come on and the fuel gauge stopped working at about 70,000 miles - three codes came up - drove it another 100,000 with the check engine light on and the fuel gauge not working. Now that it's stalling, you can kind of tell, because it seems like the fuel gauge starts working just before it stalls. The shop had it for over one week, couldn't duplicate the problem. I drive it home, three days later, stalls. Same issues - any ideas?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svtenthusiast Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Try looking at and/or cleaning the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), IAC (Idle air control valve), or the MAF (mass air flow sensor). TPS is located on the intake on the throttle body. IAC is attached near the throttle body on the upper intake. MAF is located in the intake hose after the air filter.
