Engine Stalls Or Idles Rough
- Check fuel system and control system pressure. Replace pressure regulator if necessary.
- Check cold start valve for leaking (engine warm).
- Ensure injector spray patterns and volume are correct. Replace faulty injectors.
- Test coolant temperature sensor and wiring. Repair or replace as required.
- Inspect intake air components for leaking hoses, connections or cracks. Repair as required.
- Ensure airflow sensor plate movement and rest position. Adjust as necessary.
- Test idle switch and idle air stabilizer valve.
- Perform system electrical checks.
- Check airflow meter. Replace if faulty.
- Ensure idle RPM is correct.
- Check auxiliary air by-pass regulator.
- Check fuel injector electrical connections.
- Use stethoscope to verify fuel injectors are operating.
- Ensure sufficient secondary spark is available in all cylinders.
- Verify vacuum hose routing is correct and there are no vacuum leaks.
- Check idle stabilizer operation.
- Check for EGR system malfunction (if equipped).
- Check O2 sensor operation.
- Check for distortion or cracks in fuel injector(s) plastic connecting flange(s).
- Check for use of poor quality fuel containing insufficient cleaning additives. Prolonged use of poor quality fuel can cause injector clogging and carbon build-up on intake system.
