M35 Stagea Stalling?

[jackbh241]

Hi All,

Sorry if this has been asked a million times before but my M35 Stagea (Auto) is having stalling issues. It seems to pick it's days (ie. it won't stall for 3-4 days, then stall 5-6 times in one day, mostly worse when it's not 100% warmed up). I have replaced the fuel pump and filters, cleaned the throttle body (mostly just dirt, but did appear to have a little oil in it - please not leaky turbo :S?). I am going to attempt to clean the AFM and have a new air filter on it's way. Any other thoughts?

The only other issue that I'm aware of at this stage is the 4WD light coming on from time to time (I'm fairly confident it's just low on ATESSA fluid but just haven't got around to replenishing yet), is there any chance these are related?

Any help would be amazing! Thanks

after you cleaned the throttle body, did you perform the idle reset?

Yes I have, why do you ask?

It's the car I supplied the pump and Filter for. I wanted to have a look at your car running.....If you want and your around Hornsby PM me and I'll have a quick look at the car.

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to diagnose it but I need to see it running.

cheers

Hi Craig,

I would love to come down it's just finding the time. Working full time out west, no where near hornsby haha. I'll see what I can do and give you a call! Thanks for popping up.

Update: Today is the first day I had the check engine light come on, I got ECU codes of 0100 (P0100 Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction) and 0235 (P0235 Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Malfunction). I cleaned the mass airflow sensor and still the same code appeared (and it stalled at the first test). Starting to get pretty concerned about this, any suggestions anyone? Also have a periodic 4WD error light, could this be related (checked ATTESA fluid and it's full).

What is the idle speed?

There was a factory recall on the Cam angle sensors that can cause random stalling. (basically it will shut the engine down and light up the check engine light) They put a round silver sticker on the drivers front suspension upright, near the manufature plate. Have a search for my thread about this problem.

Is it possible Hills tried to reset the idle?

Best bet is to visit Craig.
