stalls

Piper · Post by **Piper** » Mon Oct 08, 2007 6:34 pm

My bus (1.9 Waterboxer) seems to stall out very quickly after starting, especially if shes at temp, like starting after a quick stop. She'll re start, but stalls out again. Lots of power in the battery, lots of gas (the exaust smells gassy when I start it again and again) she cranks, turns over, and smells gassy, then stalls. any suggestions???

Technical Bulletin Group: 24 Number: 24-90 T01 Date: May 31, 1990 Subject: Rough Idle, Engine Stalls - Tow in Model(s): 1983-1990 Model Years The clamp for the air intake boot to air flow meter/throttle body may yield tension and could cause a vacuum leak. This may create a lean running condition resulting in the engine to idle rough and in severe cases stall while idling. Installation of Boot Clamp Part Number 191 129 647 will correct this condition.

Thanks Davidbug, you hit the nail on the head. the part is like $150, plus they want to do plugs, wires, and the rotor (things I was planning on doing anyway, and since it's getting cold I probably won't do it myself). Than ks for your help bud

I wish that 1989 Corvette I have been working on was that easy.

All 8 injectors clogged up completely. Water and rust..........

OUCH! Sounds fun..but when you're done at least you can go really really fast! Ofcourse you can't put a double bed in a Corvette
