car stalling after startup
This problem has just started happening after the car sits for awhile and the engine isn't warmed up yet.
I start the car, then put it in 3rd gear to start driving, then the car will hesitate and sputter, finally resulting in stalling. I then have to put it in Park, then restart the car.....after that the car is fine. I didn't notice any check engine codes...so what can it be? Has anyone had this problem before? |

Re: car stalling after startup
First unplugged both o2 sensors and drive the car,if you still have the same problems,replace your fuel filter to be safe and swap out your airflow meter,I had a stalling issue,afm was bad.When your unplugg your o2 sensors you will get a check engine light but the car should drive better.

Re: car stalling after startup
I know the o2 sensors are good, I just replaced them. Is that a common problem when the air flow meter goes bad? or just a symptom?

Re: car stalling after startup
I think pretty common, I just had my MAF go bad. When I read the codes it was throwing the Air Flow Meter code as well as a Oxygen Sensor code. I am happy to say that both codes cleared after the MAF was replaced and the o2 code hasn't come back.
