engine quits after a few minutes idling
Hello, this is my first post, but I have been a reader for a while...and would like to say thanks because this forum has helped me out on several issues with my SVX.
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. |

It has been clearly stated that the one tough question covered by the post is a/the tough one. Exacyly what is your reason for inserting confusion, within what could become a complicated issue? Trevor.

You must be totally void of humor. I feel I can kid with SoCal. If not, he can type me something to the contrary and I certainly will refrain from doing it. Keith Last edited by kwren; 08-08-2009 at 08:17 PM. |

Re: engine quits after a few minutes idling
I noticed you mention the MAF so I decided to clean it. Test drove it for about 10 minutes last night then let it idle in the driveway for about 10 minutes and it kept running. I decided to try again this morning , this time not driving it ....just letting it idle in the driveway, and it kept running.
So far so good .....I think it was a dirty MAF. Thanks for the quik replies. -craig |
