Random Engine Stalling

[Laptop]

Cheers , Pabs.

my LC does similar, although not to your extremes. it doesnt stall, but sounds like it will but it then recovers itself. It has done this since i got it last year - the only thing that helps is the cleaning of the TB and the TBA. Sorted it for a while, now its back again.
its always just after a journey, when i pull up at lights or junction or home, it idles for a few seconds, revs drop then it recovers. Does it once or twice but then idles fine while i let her cool down before switching off.

similar problem with my 1.4 beeza

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of this issue, I've been suffering from it mildly over the last year and it seems to have come back with avengence. This time worst than ever, most junctions and clutch dips cause it to stall.

My engine stalling problems were caused by the crappy Mk4 Golf Samco TIP. The DV take-off was too close to the MAF so when air was being dumped back into the TIP it was being forced back through the MAF and causing it to stall. Fitting the Forge TIP fixed it as had the connections in the right places.

Thought it might be that, however the company who have just done some work for me used my Samco TIP against my will again when fitting new bits to the car, I had supplied them with the standard one to modify.

May see if moving the MAF further away will help.

Craig, i just moved my MAF. Sorted my problems....

Mine was originally TIP - MAF - Elbow - Filter, now its.... TIP - Elbow - MAF - Filter

hi guys
had the same problem with my mk3 cupra about a year ago
replaced the voltage supply relay no109 and have had no problems since
if all else fails try this!

 

[Craig!]

Going to re-locate the MAF first, then if it still occurs will try the relay, ta!

what would happen if the maf was unplugged would i be able to tell if this was the cause?

 

[Martyn]

The car would run on its safe default values.

 

[teeth2k]

would that damage the car? what would it run like? and if that was what was causing the cut outs would it still happen ?

been doing a search and found this thread, its happened twice now, letting the car idle when i get home at night, (its still cold) and it just stops running, no cough or splutter or uneven idle, its running normal one second, and off the next. and it doesnt always start straight away again either.... any ideas?
