Dr.Pepper 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Mine has been stalling on idle seemingly at random for ages now so I'd be interested to know what you find out about this.I've cleaned my throttle body and isv out.Next step is to get it plugged in somewhere...

FishWick 21 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 So you were sitting there with the engine idling and it just died? Very odd. Are you sure it didn't die as you approached the junction, which is the more common occurence?If it just stopped whilst idling....I'd say crank sensor.If it died as you dipped the clutch, then it could be any number of things, which you will find using the search.

Dr.Pepper 0 Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Mine just dies when it feels like it. Doesn't have to be when the clutch is dipped.Any time it's idling.Sometimes it will start, then just die straight away.After a few starts, it's fine.It's when I'm sat in traffic that it's annoying, because it frequently chooses the time to die just when I want to actually get moving.Crank sensor you say.How can I check that ?
