    Default VP stalling when shifting from park...

    My VP seems to be stalling when I shift from park to drive. More often when engine is warm or car has been sitting for a while after driving. Any ideas. I have cleaned the trottle body, new plugs and leads, new coils, new DFI, new crank angle sensor. Transmission shifts smooth. Any ideas? Also there is a light knock heard only in the cabin and not from the engine bay, could this be related? thanks in advance for you time

    I have the EXACT same problem, I have made the same repairs u have, no luck, I have heard that it may be IAC related, but I have no Idea how to find that or how to fix it. Do u know anything about this?

    the IAC valve is on the throttle body, take it out and with it connected turn the ignition on and you should see it move up and down a few times this usually means it is OK. If you cleaned the throttle body and drowned the IAC in throttle body cleaner I was told this can damage them.
