90- Legacy dies...

Featured Replies

Every so often my Legacy will die while driving, I've replaced the fuel filter and the igniter and cleaned the ground connections, cleaned the IAC and the MAF sensor.

It will die at idle or when I'm on the gas. It starts to miss and will either die or catch and keep running. I noticed that when it happens the Tach will move up and down with the missing and sputtering.

I don't hear any clicking like the relays under the dash and I'm NOT getting any codes. This thing is driving me nuts !!!:mad::banghead::banghead: It will run fine for a few miles 10 or 20 then start missing and dieing again. It will die whether I am on the gas or coasting as well. I have a new fuel pump, But have not installed it yet. When it does die it will usually start right back up.

could be crank or cam sensors. Also could be CTS related.

mine was doing that. even more so on right hand turns. my fuel pump was yowling at the top of it's lungs for like a week, then last weekend she stopped working altogether. It's got a Walbro 255 in it now!

Wiggle some wires around under the hood while it's idling to see if you can get it to stumble or stall out.

I tried that........ Nothing.

CTS = Coolant Temperature Sensor. It sends important temp readings to the ECU.
