Engine Stalling Problems
An engine that stalls repeatedly can be really annoying. So can an engine that stalls for no apparent reason while driving. Stalling problems are often temperature related and more apt to occur during cold weather or when a cold engine is first started. Call Modern Auto Air and we will arrange an appointment to repair your problem.
An engine vacuum leak could also be the problem Modern Auto Air will look for loose or broken vacuum hoses, leaks around the intake manifold gasket or throttle body, leaks around the PCV valve and EGR valve.. The best advice is to see a Modern Auto Air technician and allow us to check your system.
It could also be a defective idle speed control system. Idle speed on a fuel injected engine is controlled by allowing a small amount of air to bypass the throttle. If the idle air bypass circuit is plugged with dirt or fuel varnish, or the solenoid valve is sticking or broken, the engine may not get enough air to idle normally causing it to stall. Modern Auto air would clean the idle air bypass circuit in the throttle body with aerosol throttle cleaner. This will often remove the gunk and solve your stalling problem. If a good soaking with cleaner fails to fix the stalling problem, we will check the wiring connector. It might be loose or corroded. If no wiring faults are found, you may have to replace the idle speed control solenoid.Modern Auto Air has serviced more vehicles then anyone else in Lee County.

Your engine just stalls unexpectedly while driving. Stalls like this are often ignition-related and happen when the engine loses spark. The underlying cause is often a bad crankshaft position sensor, or sometimes a failing ignition coil (if the engine has only one coil). A faulty ignition switch that loses contact intermittently may also cause the engine to suddenly die for no reason.See a Modern Auto Air technician and allow us to check your system.
