started stalling again today. i tried changing spark plugs and tried sea foam. started stalling even more today. should i check the o2 sensors, maf sensors, iac valve, and throttle body now?

 

I would say to try cleaning the IACV and TB and getting a used MAF at www.car-part.com for $35 bucks. It will prob cost you $15 for carb and TB cleaner so for $50 bucks its worth a shot. 02 sensors should not cause your car to stall.

 

Is your SES light on?

 

Stalling under what conditions? Cold start, hot start, immediate restart after turning it off? In the heat, in cold weather? Any apparent relation to environmental conditions or any sort of external conditions?

Also, as NmexMax said, any codes? Maybe blinking CEL indicating severe misfires before it stalls out?

 

Gotta love these vague posts eh?

 

Love them like I loved working retail...

its summer in new orleans right now so its stalling in hot weather. i usually stall after stopping at a red light. and when i step on the gas, it takes a while to rev up again. there are no lights on. my friend gave me an engine diagnostic and he said everything is fine but apparently there is a problem...anyone??

 

Read post #2..........

 

Maybe even post #3 as well.

 

Bad gas maybe? How much fuel was in the tank when you put the seafoam in there? Hopefully you weren't on like 1/4 or 1/8 when you did it.

 

read post #11 as well.


i used it at 1/2 tank of gas left.

 

Even if there are no lights, check the codes anyway.
