another stalling thread...
3 weeks ago my car kept stalling when at a stop sign or red light, i have read many post about it and finally got to the conclusion that the maf was fault ...."i could temporarly fix the problem by beating the crap out of it with my punch" it was stopping stalling they coming back 2 or 3 days later, finally i changed the maf "took it from my old wrecked svx" it fixed the problem.
but the last week i have noticed that when i was starting the car the rpm would go near 1700-2000 then slowly get to 900-1000 which would take about 2-5 minutes "giving me the time to smoke a cigarette"...in park position.putting it in drive would put her down around 500-700. NOW today i started her the rpm got to 2000km and stalled right after "2 seconds" i've restarted her about 5 times , then i had a big smell of gas. finally i started her and kept pressing the gas pedal to keep her alive, if i was releasing the pedal it was dying so i waited 5 minutes with the gas pressed around 1500-2000rpm .after that it was fine, i drove her 1 hour then i shut it off and it started well without any problemp.s i have no c.e.l.,flashing power light no nothing it just shut off,240 000 km's . oil is 5w-30 gold clean....and i always full it with 94 octane considering that the spark plug is right by the cam cover and i got leaks that begins to be MAJOR leaks from both of them , could it be the spark plugs that begin to be drowned with oil ? plugged gas filter ? i have no clue where to begin....i didn't find anything on this forum that has the same problem as i do any help would be very gratefull....thank you

Re: another stalling thread...
Maybe try a new MAF. How many miles did the other one (off the wrecked SVX) have on it? It might be junk from just from sitting.
My 2 cents Will

Re: another stalling thread...
Try cleaning the MAF... The same thing happened to my jetta about a month ago.... there was a dead spider stuck to the plate on the sensor.... Got a can of CRC MAF sensor cleaner at autozone $6, use the whole thing and give it a day to dry out.... could save you the cost of a whole sensor which from what I've found is at least $75.... plus you'd still have to clean it....
On that note.... did you clean the one you put in from the other car?? How long has it been sitting? Last edited by iizbeastie; 09-15-2008 at 06:10 PM. |

Re: another stalling thread...
no i didn't clean it , i'll maybe give it a try...i'm still sure it isn't the maf , i have the feeling that i had to leave the car run a little bit to warm it up..i'll do this tomorrow

Re: another stalling thread...
I'm having an intermittent problem myself, but no smoke...I cleaned my MAF and since then it only stalled once after sitting most of the day at work.
I have a good question if someone can look at the plug itself on the wire harness...is it supposed to have all metal prongs on the plastic little terminals? Mine is missing one on the end and I want to know if that is normal. Thanks |

Re: another stalling thread...
Sounds like the harness has a broken wire they do become brittle.Have someone start the car while you wiggle the harness.

Re: another stalling thread...
Car drove fine today with no issues...I'm really curious if all 5 terminal ends on the female harness are supposed to have metal connectors on it. I'm thinking they don't or else my vehicle would throw a code and act all funky.

Re: another stalling thread...
Just had a picture taken from another member for me and the female end only has 4 gold pins out of the 5 terminals present. That's what I needed to know.

Re: another stalling thread...
Ive had 4 SVX in my shop in the last two months.
All have had the same problem. That being works fine when its cold and after driving it for a while or it gets warm, it would stall and die. Wait about 10 -15 min and the car would start again and drive fine for a while. Every car had over 100k on it plus being in Az its still pretty warm here which made things worse. All 4 cars had a faulty ignition switch. First pic is of the NEW part from the dealer $50

Re: another stalling thread...
chance are you ll find the one way on bolts loose
already or have fallen out.. We went to ACE and got two new ones had to grind the heads off a little and grind a little off the tip to make them fit correctly... You can use blue locktite if you want on the new ones.

Re: another stalling thread...
the bolts after I modded them on a grinder
bolt back in , zip tie out of the way, and put plastic back on and you should be good for another 100k miles

Car will only start with a jump, even though the battery is new and voltage is good. When I turn to "on" everything goes dead immediately (interior lights, radio, etc). As soon as I move back to "acc" the lights begin to flicker back to life. If I hook up to another car and jump it, starts right up. So, could the same part be at fault?
