Hey guys, everyonce in awhile my car shuts off at a light. It used to happen once every blue moon. anyways its doing it more now. It shuts off and then i turn it back on and it hesiates and dies, i have to rev it up alot and then it would be fine. WTF!!!! any ideas?? it scares me because my car didnt that alot and it wouldnt start again... help!!!

 

When was the last time you had your timing checked? mine used to do that and i put in a new timing chain and got it all timed up and it runs perfect now.....check your timing and if it still occurs your chain is probably stretched, when i bought the car my chain jumped like 10 teeth

 

I doubt the timing chain is causing any of these problems. Especially if after revving it, it runs better. I would look at more likely culprits. When was the last time the car had a full tune-up?

 

Do a search on IAC & TPS. Also check the tech articles on cleaning your IAC and setting your TPS.

 

Yeah i'd say IAC.

 

i did all that already, a full tune up, new IAC, New fuel pump, filter,Not the TPS but that would cause my engine to die?? how would i check that??

 

i think its timing because when mine was out it would die if i didnt keep revs up, if i would give it gas it woulnt work to bad, but as soon as i come to a stop it would go plllllleasgfa (you know the sound)

 

Check the tech articales section, there is a good article on cleaning your IAC & setting your TPS. Did you check/replace your ignition module also? I read several guys having a problem similar to yours and it turned out to be the iginition module. Just a thought. Good luck.

 

thanks guys, i will check things out, i dont think its the timing chain cause it only does it once in awhile and the rpm is fine thanks though, i think im going to buy a tps, it needs to be change anyways. and the module. It wont hurt just solve more problems
