Stalling!
« on: 05 February 2008, 11:50 »
hi there just thought id share my little escapade with you guys, went to change my plugs last night but only got as far as the first one before i had to stop so i changed back to the old one and went to start the car but it just stalled as soon as it came on, confused the hell out of me seeing as it worked 10 mins previously!so then this morn i looked on the forum and looked at all the reasons why it would stall so went and bought some new leads dizzie cap and new rotor arm changed these over as well as the plugs but still had the same prob, arrghghhhh!! (bus to work it is for me!) then i thought id have one last look around the engine bay to see if i could see anything and lo and behold the little plug for the mass air flow sensor was half connected, put it back on and away i go :)

moral of the story for muppets like me, check the simple things first!haha

It was the cars way of telling you it probably needed new leads, cap and rotor arm
