Major Lazy Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Greets, I searched but did not find and answer so....... Problem: Yesterday my wife calls me while driving in eastern Wa and says the car wont idle, it dies when she stops. The outside temp is over 100 and she has been driving hard with the AC cranked for 2 hrs or so. No CEL light, and when she gets home an hour or so later every thing is fine. She says the guages all looked normal. Question: Isn't there a device that kicks the idle up when the AC is on? could the heat affect that? Is there any chance this could be a Tranny issue? The car has been shifting oddly lately (hard shifts sometimes) Any other ideas? Car = 97 imp auto awd, 140k Thanks a lot. ML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wow, what wierd logic. So when was the last time this thing had a tuneup? Any stalling issue needs to be addressed there when you have 100K on the car. On shifting, when was the last time the transmision fluid was changed? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Connecting stalling to a transmission issue. How did it stall. Did it just cut out or stumble? How old is the fuel filter? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
