Stalling out at idle
I have a question for my buddy. I know this is mainly 4.6l questions, but this problem isn't unique to any particular motor. It's a 98 with a 3.8l. What would cause the car to stall out after idling for about 2 minutes? It's fine when driving but not at long lights. It's been going on for a week and a half now. The filter is clean, the gas is fine. What else? EGR valve? Any help is great. Thanks guys!

Check your EGR and MAF voltage...
Does it struggle before it dies or does it just cut out? Any computer codes? ------------------ Adam "Hammer" Packett: Moderator, Gulf War Veteran  GO GET 'EM BOYS!  |
