![]() Tech told me their diagnostic computer found the problem right away. This component controls the RPMs when the engine is idling. Malfunctioning Idle Air Control Actuator Issue with the actuator will result in car stalling at idling. You know what it’s worse it and dame glad at lease they were able to find out what the problem was first time and quickly too. Im 35 miles from my destination and quickly realized that the car wants to cut off once the car start decelerating to lower speeds. The air flow sensor will give incorrect readings if it is defective or dirty, causing the car shutting off problem when idling. Total cost of this to me was one hour of labor $80.00. Oh by the way since the CAI was really the reason for this little problem it wasn’t covered under warranty. It also monitors the velocity of the crankshaft and its location to ensure optimal timing for fuel injection and ignition. The crankshaft position sensor monitors moving parts in the engine, such as pistons, crankshaft, and engine valves. Can you believe that? The tech simply ran a new wire to replace the shorted one and that was that. A faulty crankshaft position sensor will cause your car to shut off while driving but turns back on. When ever the car was place in reverse the engine would shift in it's mounts ( a normal thing) and cause the wire on the harness to short out causing the CAM system computer to shut down the fuel pump with cause the engine to stall. The wire harness that plugs into the Mass Air Flow device had a wire that was shorting out against the CAI tube. It appears that the installation of my Injen CAI was the cause of this one. While it took longer to explain to the service manager what the problem was then it took him to fix it, I could not believe what the problem was. ![]() ![]() Finally had a chance to take her in with the above mentioned reverse stalling problem. Well guys this goes under the guise of sometimes were our own worse enemy. ![]()
