Re: Sudden stalling problem
ALRIGHT!!!! After a thorough cleaning of the TB and MAF, The RPMs were spiking and dropping like crazy. After Dad's instruction of disconnecting the battery to let the computer reset and try to find a natural idle, it worked! After reconnecting the battery, the car found an idle it could live with ...
