    Default VL stalling

    ...DID my radiator a few weeks ago engine got very hot on way home replaced it but once it gets close to standard operating temp it stalls whist in gear(AUTO) but only when im not moving..it cough and splutters at around 200rpm then stalls i put it in gear and start it and it fine it starts whenever i want it to could it be torque converter i have done plugs o2 sensor oil filter (has a rather high oil pressure) have done fuel pressure test all good maybe the head has cracked or maybe it might need a tune and a few ingnition components

    any help would be good cheers GIbbs

    cooked coolant temp sensor? if coolant got to hot may have damaged its readings
    unplugging it will make it revert to a hot setting and a basic fuel map so shouldnt stall then if that
    else compression check while/when warmed up

    if only stalls when put into gear
    and cts makes no difference unplugged
    and compression check is ok
    i would try cleaning the idle control motor and raising the idle a little bit (at iac stepper motor back right of engine)

    its probably just being picky or your fault isnt to do with the overheating and is a coincidence...
    hold the throttle partially open and crank it (not for or if uses lpg) it should come back to life


    you need to do a code check at the ecu (left hand front lower kick panel) i cant remember exactly how on these.. i think you turn the screw left then right then count flashes .. do a search on here and it should come up

    BEFORE YOU DO THE CODE CHECK take battery negative terminal off
    for ten minutes (or less cant remember)
    then drive the car until fault occurs (or let idle till stalls)
    then check codes
