Now I have a problem I cant find any answers for.... my engine will die after about 5 or 10 minutes just idling in the driveway. It runs good and It doesnt do it while I drive the car. It doesnt sputter or anything like that, it just shuts down . It is a 92 automatic and all grounds seem solid. Any help will be appreciated.
Thats a tough one. Could be anything from a MAF sensor to a bypass air control solenoid. One question....does this happen when warming it up, does it go from cold to warm before stalling? Or does it do it no matter what... you come home from a drive, leave it idling, and it always shuts down after a short idle?
