Re: Engine cut off only whene I wait at red light
Your alternator could be faulty
Maybe your idle control sensor could be one of the problems? You're saying the car turns itself back on after the engine cuts COMPLETELY, off? |

Re: Engine cut off only whene I wait at red light
Check your emissions sensors main ones are the idle control and the vent valve from gas tank. look in your auto repair manuel for location and how to test. your vent valve on gas tank are normally closed. if you remove it you can check it by blowing air through them, if air blows through its bad.

Re: Engine cut off only whene I wait at red light
the same thing happened to me with one of my probes... try checking the mass air sensor.... the flap sometimes sticks and will kill ur car.... u can see scrape marks on the inside of the housing where it could be hitting

Re: Engine cut off only whene I wait at red light
I think I've been having a similar problem. I have a 2.0 with manual transmission. When waiting at red lights the idle will drop really low, sometimes stall. I haven't cleaned my MAF but I put some compression restore additive in when I changed the oil. I noticed an improvement, but I will get some MAF cleaner next time I'm at Autozone.
