2G car wants to die

[dan2288]

whenever I come to a stop the rpms drop and the car allmost dies. I dont think I have any leaks or anything. What could be wrong ?

I had this problem also. Make sure your car's battery is charged. Also is your CEL coming on?

 

[dan2288]

Yea, CEL is on. Ill check what it means tomm.

$10 says P0125 Coolant Temp sensor. Not a big Problem Does you car get bad gasmilage in cold weather?

 

[dan2288]

yea, gas milage isnt that great. I took it around the block today and it was running good but then it started missing when I gave it some gas...

 

[hubz91talontsi]

Yes somedays it will run good then others it will run bad? Mine very rarly ran bad.

 

[dan2288]

exactly...some days its good and others it runs like crap. Still gotta check the CEL ...

First thing you should have done is checked the CEL light before getting on here. Second you should have searched around. There are a million threads on why cars die when you come to a stop. CTS, IAC, not recirculating the BOV, incorrect injector dead time if you wanna get technical.

 

[dan2288]

whenever I come to a stop, the rpms drop low and it stumbles and feels like its goin to shut off. It even shut off a couple times. What could be causing it? And is there a test to check for vacuum leaks?

Is your bov recirculated?

 

[dan2288]

yes, its a 1g bov and its recirculated. My car is an auto if that matters btw

 

[Brutal_r3drum]

it sounds to me like a boost leak.
i would check the ic outlet and inlet on the ic itself...
o the hose from the bov to intake pipe

That happened to me right before my battery died. I got a new battery, new spark plug wires, and cleaned the TB. So one of the three fixed it for me... idk if that helps you.

how did you clean the trottle body?

how did you clean the trottle body?

I just hit it with some carb cleaner. Off the car of course.

My engine is dying and blowing by alot of crap every once in awhile. I started venting the blow by to atmosphere. Most of was at the bottom of the intercooler but I am guessing some got pushed up the the TB when I boosted..

Some people clean them on the car. I just take mine of and scrub it with carb cleaner and a bristle pad
