stall and stall again.... Reply #8 – October 10, 2008, 09:50:13 AM Yeah i replaced them a few weeks ago and the plugs. My power steering pump is really leaky ... i was wondering if a bad pump could put more stress on the motor but my belt doesnt squeak.... Quote Selected
stall and stall again.... Reply #10 – October 10, 2008, 10:10:38 AM Ive never touched the distributer, or messed with the timing. its always ran great...when its beeen running for a little while it will idle fine at red lights but when i hold the brake and turn the wheel, she stalls. im gonna do a compression check this weekend and see what happens, im really hoping that its not somthing bad like a bad valve or so... theres no lack of power at all just in low rpm it doesnt run steady.

stall and stall again.... Reply #12 – October 10, 2008, 09:36:47 PM could also be a slipped tooth on the timing... If you pull codes you'll be 90% more likely to get it fixed. I never pulled codes on my car and fought to get it fixed by replacing everything, and it ended up being a vac line on the map sensor. The difference is about 10mpg. Quote Selected
