66yostagea Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 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?

AlexCim Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Could be a vacuum leak. Check the BOV connection that air isnt getting in/out AFTER the AFM Check the plumb back pipe from the BOV. Otherwise, intercooler hoses etc. Try to listen for hisses when revving (if you can) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/109193-my-new-stagea-stalls/#findComment-2011468 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emanuelt Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 If it stalls start it in Nutral if its dangerous to stop. If it has a aftermarket BOV then that will be the course. Put the stock one back on no more stalling. I had a HKS BOV that did the same thing so I took it off, back to stock.

3intheBack Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 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.
