trying to stall
« on: 22 August 2015, 12:26:20 »
Driving from cold on the way to work if I get stuck in stop start traffic after about 5 mins of doing this the car trys to idle but the revs feel like they drop and its going to stall. This happens wether its in drive or neutral.  When traffic clears and I can drive normal for a few miles, when doing stop start driving again it will run and idle fine.
any ideas please.

Start of a misfire?, try unplugging the Maf, does it get better or worse.

Also what's the temp gauge doing when this happens?

Initial thoughts are that either the ECU is being given duff temperature readings during warm up or that you have 'carburettor icing'

Any frost on the throttle body?

The 3.2 gets air temperature from the MAF so the MAF is one suspect. It gets coolant temperature from a different sensor to the dash so you need a code reader that can show live readings if you want to check that one.

Ideally you want to unplug the maf when its doing it, leaving it unplug it will run rough and drink petrol.

I was half thinking, stop start traffic, temp going up, hence air intake temp going high and map miss reading.  :-\
