99 cirrus

Has a 2.5v6 and tends to stall at times.  If you floor it when it starts acting up it will clear itself.  Any ideas?

Engine light? Codes?


BBD

No engine light unfortunately.  I have an OBDII reader, it would be nice to have it's help.

1st ck the fuel system adaptives

ck your fuel pressure,preferably when it's acting up.

ck EGR operation and O2 sensors. it sounds like it going full rich , or maybe full lean and then the pcm is tyring to richen it up. as long as the system stays within it's designed paremeters it will not set a code, but your adaptives will/should point you in the right direction.

keep in mind anything anyone mentions is a guess without actually without it being in front of them and/or me

[Bobs69]

Yeah I realize it's best guess, just wondering if there is something generic that happens to these cars.

true,

but the fact you can catch / clear it out by accelerating tells me it's fuel related

I sell a bunch of fuel pumps for those models ?  could be going bad  ?

That's what I suspected at first.  I was confused by all the talk I've heard of bad distributors and so on.  I hasn't failed me in my driveway yet, that's why I haven't tried disconnecting the fuel line and having my wife crank it over........


Since it is a "spare" car maybe I'll reasemble and try it once a day till it fails!

[gtx6970]

The 2.5 V6 is notorius for distributer issues, but me personally have never had any issues except a no run situation. never heard or had any issues like you describe that I found to be dist related

to me if it 's a dist problem it either runs or it doesn't, SO I would be concentraiting on the fuel / injector control supply side

[Bobs69]

Thanks guys.  I'll focus on that.  What a car, I mean, just to get at the distributor!
