SHO problem

mellowboy · #1 03-19-2002, 10:43 PM

My friend have a '95 SHO. Well whenever he comes to a stop his engine dies? Like it just completely shut off. When he turns it back on he has to keep his foot on the gas pedal just so the car won't shut off on him. I was thinkin it could be one of the sensors? Can anyone help? Thanks

I used to have a 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme... and believe it or not, the problem was tracked down to be an electrical short which happened to be causing the sensors to be messing up. I would say if you COULD, try and find that first -- cause electrical problems are no cheap thing to have a shop do!

I'd take his his advice sounds electrical.

Check the Throttle Position Sensor

HMMMM

sounds like it could also be the IAC valve
(Idle air control valve)
