Y reg 2000MY 3.0 V6 Elite Saloon Automatic.
Drove to the chip shop last night - about a mile. Then about half way home I had to stop at some lights. As I went to pull away, it stalled. Car is an Auto, so a bit of a faff to restart. Once restarted it ran for a few seconds before stalling again. Eventually I got it to run for long enough to left foot brake and use the accelerator to keep the revs up, crash it into gear and get home. It stalled again as I pulled onto the drive.
I then had to go out again about 2 hours later. Again it stalled as I pulled into where I was going, and was a struggle to re-start and keep going for the journey home.
Once I got home again I whipped off the IACV and gave it a good clean, not that it was very dirty.
Drove to work this morning (about 14 miles) and all was well until I pulled into the carpark when it stalled again.
It stalls whilst the car is still moving, so care with the power steering and brake servo assist is needed. The idle speed on overrun (60MPH downhill) seems to be very low too (350-400 RPM), as though it's trying to stall but the drag from the gearbox is keeping it turning over.
Never had a crank sensor go, and there don't appear to be any stored trouble codes. Of course I scrapped my spare engine last Thursday, so haven't got a spare!
Does this sound like a crank sensor fault?
Yes I know genuine dealer part only.
