stalls when warmed up
Posted: July 23rd, 2009, 8:30 am
94 GS with stock 1.8, runs fine cold and on the highway. C/I light goes off & on randomly, when light is off runs fine , but when hot and the light comes on, it stalls when you come to a stop. After it stalls, it starts hard (you gotta give it gas to start it and keep it running).
I only drive it in the summer and it did it last year for the first tank of gas and then ran fine the rest of the summer. I was thinking it might be the front O2 sensor (the rear one is new) but someone told me the O2 sensor wont make it stall.
I checked my air intake pipe (accordian) and it has a few little cracks but no holes, I dont think its leaking. I pulled a plug and they dont look to bad for 130,000 km (NGK iridiums) but I will put a new set tomorrow.
I do fing it starts harder than it used too, it used to fire up immediately but now it has to crank over a bit. Seems like if you crank a few turns, then stop, then crank again, it will fire immediately.
Even when your driving at 100 km (60 mph) and the light comes on it seems to still keep running normally.
I dont have a code reader but have access to reasonably cheap parts. A Sensor or a fuel problem ?
advice appreciated
