Title: Stalling---:(
Post by eod46 on Feb 13^th, 2005, 10:33pm

Recently purchased 2.9 auto running very well...until today ! After long drive (5 miles!) on start up the motor switches off..I'm thinking I should clean the MAF. Any thoughts ? Service also due...

When you say stalling after 5 mins, i presume its when the engine is warm and it stalls at junctions ect? Does it re-start ok or do you have to hold the revs? If it is the latter you could try to turn the idle screw up a little so that the revs are +/- 50 @900 RPM.

Hope this helps

Nick ;)

No he saying after 5 miles (not 5 mins)
and switches off (not stalling)
is it fuel starvation or electrical probs.???

Does it tick over evenly?
Cleaning the maf is a 2 minute job so just do it.. also clean the Idle control valve at the same time....

see how she runs.......................

No I meant when it running.. he says it switches off after some time.. sounds to me like some sensor is a bit wonky.. needs an OBD looking at.... :) Someone with the laptop and the software...

eod46
you need to explain your probs in more detail
also do you have the 2.9 12v or 2.9 24v
as there may be a different solution /answer
i e switching off =stall ???
or switching off =engine dead

Sorry guys.

2.9 V12 Auto. Problem only appears after starting up when the engine is hot. A 5 mile trip to shopping center
at the weekend, and after starting up moves a few feet and engine cuts out. Starts again and same problem.
Idles in neutral ok.
Third time lucky. Starts but idle hesitant but with foot on pedal takes off and problem gone.

Problem doesn't occour every warm start up.

Thanks

Eugene

Right, You do NOT have a MAF as in the true sense of the word on the 12v. so as far as that goes its a non serviceable Item .

I would seriously consider cleaning the ICV and the associated parts, that may be causing the problem... It does sound as though its ICV related and some of the 12v engines are very prone to it.. especially the earlier ones... also make sure ALL the little black vacum pipes are secured and have no leaks...

Oui, vacuum pipes.. Listen out for a hissing that continues for a second after the engine switches off.
