Random Stalling

[Euro]

I've had this problem for a few weeks now, but as of this current week it's been happening more frequently...as in once a trip. The car will stall at basically any given time, looks as though whenever it's warmed up. It's done it accelerating, decelerating, and just cruising along. And if it doesn't actually stall out, it'll just stumble real bad and continue on it's merry way. I threw a low voltage maf code a few weeks ago, and my shitty aftermarket brand maf failed...and PANDA let me use his stock GM for the time being I can't remember any of this right after I put that in until this week.

It hadn't thrown a code at all until just yesterday, so I haven't been able to get it scanned yet. That'll have to be after work today. I've been searching this morning for a few minutes and it seems it could be a few different things....but the most popular has been a bad CPS. What do you guys think? Thanks

it was doing it before the MAF failed, you put the GM one in, ran fine, then now recently its doing it again?

the cps is an interrupter sensor and seldom go out get it scanned or maybe stop by we need to see the history/codes.

My nephew just called me and his 97 GTP is doing the same thing. Rpms drop while he is cruising and it stumbles pretty bad and then it will die when he comes to a red light or stop. Just started this morning and he will get it scanned after work and see what code its throwing.

x2...I had this happen on my 91 cutlass supreme from back in the day. Car would just die while driving. The wiring connector to the CPS cracked.

So youre saying replace the front cover wiring before the sensor?

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

well if its throwing out a 3x or 18x referecnce cps fault then yeah id start with the harness/ICM over the cps

I'm not saying to replace anything. I only know that it caused me to get stranded a couple times.

Got it scanned at Advance, used that term loosely. The guy thought my car was a Cadillac even though it clearly said Regal and Buick in multiple places. Crank Position Sensor was what threw the code, but dumbfuck me can't remember the actual code number.

Parking this junk til the weekend, figures it acts up when I have meetings the next 2 days in Oak Forest for work. I'm gonna get it up to Rich's hopefully tomorrow night( to take his junk to work Friday ) or Friday night, and knock this shit out this weekend with some help

damn ill have rich get get ahold of me for using the brick to check it out and be able to scan data... the code number woulda been real handy dummy

i need moar partz for the wagn anyways

 

[Euro]

Yeah yeah I know. We'll get the #'s soon.

 

[Handsome Jesus]

need to borrow the DDR rental car?

 

[Euro]

I actually forgot about that. It'd be like I never left my car

Thanks D, I took my brother's junk today and hopefully tomorrow

 

[Handsome Jesus]

[RICH17]

Your car runs......When it wants.....

[The Broken Regal]

Hey james, my nephews is throwing p0140. Whatcha think?

 

[ktraver97ss]

[TommyGloves]

yup...sounds like its the one behind the cat. meow.

 

[ktraver97ss]

orly, i just ordered 2 pre-cat ones. Arent the post-cat o2s for emissions only and dont effect the idle or how the car runs?
