Supercharged and stalling question..please help

Rice Hunter · 03-17-2003, 08:05 AM

Hey guys, I was cruising around yesterday on a fine afternoon and was looking for some bites. Nope, not a one, but what I did get was a stalling problem. The car is fine while cruising and starting off, it just seems to happen when I'm stopping and putting the car back into first gear. The rpms would drop like a rock and bang, I'm coasting semi helplessly towards the car in front of me. I have to start the car up again. I tried revving it sometimes but others it happened too fast

! Any ideas? Please help me out if you can guys

That car was last run about two weeks ago, and I've only put in 94 octane since the supercharger.

This is fairly common in supercharged cars and in my experience is usually caused by something in between the MAF sensor and the current tune of the car.

Has this car been dyno tuned, or is it using a generic setup chip?

Also, what MAF meter are you using? What year car do you have?

it might be the idle air valve not compensating when you let off the throttle to return it to idle
