Want this question answered?
possible bad TPS, IAC, or ECT sensors
I dont have the answer, but my 92 does the same thing
Usually, a jeep's engine stalls in idle mode because of a battery power fault or because there is no gas. However, it is common for any car to stall when it has not been running for a period of time and the engine is cold.
Does it stall at idle, just after you start up? Does it stall when you give it gas - or take your foot off of the gas? Does it stall at stoplights, stopsigns, etc? Does it stall when the engine is hot or cold or warm? I would love to try and help, but you've gotta give me something to work off of!
It sounds like a bad Idle air control senor , is more common in older cars and it can also be a frozen fuel line when its extremely cold the line can freeze up and start stuttering and stall and then might die so i suggest to get it towed or put in garage to heat up and your problem will be solved. But still just to be sure take it to a mechanic for a more accurate answers.
Stalling at idle? Immediately after starting? While driving? While stopping? Cold or hot engine? What engine do you have?
This is a electronic fuel enjected engine and therefore the electonics set the engine idle speed a bit higher during a cold start so the engine will not stall out.
An engine usually has a higher idle speed when the ac is running. If the high speed idle does not operate then the ac will cause the engine to stall.
the engine to stall and surge at idle
Your car will idle high until the engine begins to warm. You could set the idle to be a bit lower, but that may cause the engine to stall out when it's cold out. The engine should begin to lower the RPMs when it is warmed up.
The Idle speed control serves a few functions such as increasing the idle when the vehicle is cold to keep it from stalling. It also responds to increased engine load such as when you turn on the air conditioning or turn the steering wheel at idle. Without the idle speed solenoid the vehicle would stall nearly every time you came to a stop.
a lot depends on the engine??possibly a problem with the choke,or a solenoid if a diesel.
