sometimes when I start my D in the morning, it acts cold-blooded: it'll stall if I don't have my foot on the gas pedal. after I drive down the street, it straightens up and acts right. any ideas?? :?
Funny? the exact same thing happened to me while I was cleaning my mom's Sebring. :lol: 'cept mine wouldn't even start OR turn over.Siggi Gunda said:The temperature has gone down to - 13 Celsius here and there has been no problem at all with my D. However the other day I was cleaning and waxing it and it took a few hours and the CD player was on the whole time with loud music untill the CD player started to stop and go I turned the music off and started the D it bearly turned the engine but I got it runing but it wouldn't idle I had to keep it above 2000 rpm so I drove it for a wile and then it was ok. I cheked the battery and I could see the cells so I added some water to all the cells and it has been ok since. So I guess it's a bad battery that's the couse of this problem also if the battery isn't good it'll be even worse when it gets colder.Unnamed said:Mine does this all the time when it's cold outside and the engine is cold (<45 degrees.) But I attribute it to my cams since it wasn't nearly as bad before I got them.
When I tap the throttle while she's cold it'll stumble and try to stall if I rev to about 2000 and just let off the thing WILL stall. Personally I wouldn't worry about it while it's cold, but if it EVER happens while it's warm, it's time to do something.
Also When I thought my TPS was bad, it was really just undervolting so I did the "TPS mod" completely fixed my warm stalling problem. The symptom I was seeing regularly was irregular reving and idling and it'd stall at stop lights or if I tapped the throttle the right way.
