Starts but when you switch it to gear or move foot from gas pedal, it dies. I have cleaned the mafs several times, replaced gas filter, spark plugs and still does it.
Was it last a daily driver list week or last year? bad fuel?
which engine? never post with out that first.... if you want good answers. 2.2L or 3.2liter?
new plugs gapped to 0.040" ?????
timing belt slipped, , they do at 60k miles +
compression falls. to 1/2 or worse. check it ?
if spark timing is way off, the cam did slip.(belt) super fast way to find this is spark timing, 5min job too., unlike compression
and vacuum normal 19" at idle.
fuel pressure is 41-55 (2.2L)
and 48-55 on the (3.2L)
ok compression and spark at spec. (factory specifications)
but it seems it idle perfect, right? but in DRIVE it stalls.
idles at 800 rpm all day, not 400? (if low the EGR can stick open and cause crazy low RPM at idle)
Good engine. vacuum reads RIGHT.
so has either low engine power. or is misfiring,
is it misfiring or bogging ?
misfire is rough.
bogging is like dragging a 10,000 lb brick. smooth loss of power.
see?> how these facts help.? i cant drive it or hear it or feel it misfire. so its up to you to say.....
if the CEL lamp is glowing at idle the ECU is telling you , scan me.
so next is what, CEL not glowing running
next is fuel pressure.
if trying to fix a car engine with no tools, say so.
meters, and sCAN TOOL, i cant do that. (not me)
a top test for stalls.
if you are about to get a stall, use a fast right foot.
can you save the stall, and get full power from engine?
A KEY FACT THIS is.
as is felt or seen misfiring.....!!!!
key on, CEL lamp glows, start engine the CEL lamp goes out. does it , if not scan it. the scan tool costs $10. (even the cheapest one works on this year)
I do a full scan always, to see all live data. and DTCs. i look at all sensors on the engine EFI to see they all read right.
first. then spark timing, to see if the cam belt slipped (the rubber band gave way)
