hey all

My new stagea has a problem.

My new car pics&details

the car is automatic, and today when i was driving it, it stalled on me two or three times. was travelling at walking speeds in a car park and the check engine light would come on then the car would stall seconds after. I think i sore the O2 sensor light come on but im not 100% sure because by the time i looked down car had stalled and was in accessories mode. the car will restart with no worries at all.

anyone have any clue to what this is?

P.S. Dont wash your engine, or you'll have more then stalling problems

yeah hey i had the same problem with mine not so long ago i checked all vacuum lines and no leak i then started checking everything it turned out to be the O2 sensor. hope you can get it fixed soon cause it is a bitch when it happens especially if your going around a round about and u got nothing the steering is heavy as hell

what was wrong with the sensor? is it the sensor in the dump/front pipe or the one in the cat?

It's in the the front/dump pipe. Visible from the top of the motor. Like most electrical stuff, they usually either work or they dont. I've never had to replace one, so others here may be able to shed more light. But basically, it simply unscrews and you whack in a new one. Prolly best if you spray the thread with WD40 or similar to loosen the rust. If possible borrow a friends as this could turn out to be an expensive and pointless exercise if the original is OK. Still, they're not that dear - under $100. Check that the voltage outputs on the replacement 0r borrowed one are the same as the original.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
