Help, my SVX keeps stalling?
My 1992 SVX keeps stalling on me. I have an auto tranny as most do i'm sure. It seemed like a plugged fuel filter so i changed that and it still did it. It doesnt do it all the time it is quite sparatic in nature. I thought ok, i'll check the fuel pump. I replaced it as the pressure was a little lower than normal. Runs stronger now but still stalls out on me. I thought it may be vapor lock but have heard that, that is not too frequent an issue with the SVX and it has never done it before now. I am wondering if the O2 sensors may cause this stalling problem?
Any ideas that you all can give will be well appreciated. I dont like to be frustrated with my SVX I want it fixed. Thanks, Mark smith_colorado@attbi.com |

When does it stall? When you stop for a light? When you floor it? Does it have a rough idle?

My guess would be the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor), you might try cleaning it, as a few people have had good resultswith a good cleaning.
There might be a write up in the "How-To" locker, but I'm not sure. It'd be the next thing I'd try.

It seems to stall when the RPM's drop towards idle, so when i'm slowing down or turning or just coasting behind slow people. I havent noticed it do it when i am accelerating. When it starts to stall sometimes i can slam on the accelorator and it will keep it going. After replacing the fuel pump and filter it idles very smooth. No Idea?

I searched about, on the site and came accross a way to test the trouble codes. I did that and it came up with a code 23 which is the Air flow sensor. I searched for more on that and they say if i clean it ever so gently with a fine mist of carb cleaner and then let it air dry, I can save it or fix it. I will try that today and post the update. Wish me luck!

Mine too
Mine stalled out at start up.....it would turn over...but wouldn't hold the idle.
The dealership narrowed it down to it being a Fuel Cord/harness. The part #: 81802pa100 Only a $36.00 part...no idea where it is on the car though It's at www.Subaruparts.com It might be worth a try. |
