Motor Stalls.

Post by GizMo22t »

Hey all. I have a 93 legacy touring wagon, auto of course. Well for the past few months or so if I don't warm up my car in the morning it stalls at stop lights. If I put it in Neutral or Drive and put some throttle on I can keep it from dying. I just replaced the fuel pump on it about 2 weeks or so, the plugs and wires about a month ago.
Of course if I do warm it up I have no problems.
Thanks. Any help would be much appreciated.

Coolant Temp Sensor perhaps.

first thing to try is a 2$ bottle of fuel injector cleaner.

Worked for me :)

Could be the IAC valve as well.

Check your charging voltage

Mine does this, because my alternator and battery are shot.
