stalling problem
Im experiencing a stalling problem when I come to a stop. It seems like it only happens when warmed up. I only have 18k miles, but from the searches Ive done Im thinking the ISV needs cleaning or the DME needs to be replaced. I'll probly do both.........any other suggestions?
Thanks....

Get a new DME and try that first... it's easier! If that doesn't solve the problem, then buy a six pack of beer, invite a buddy over to help, and clean that damn ISV.
I followed the above steps and everything turned out great! Good luck.

I forgot to mention that I disconnected the battery prior to this "stalling" problem to clean up the cables.
As for the DME, it will be here tomorrow.......do I need to disconnect the battery to R&R the DME?

I believe that if you disconnected your battery, your car will have to "learn" to idle again. If I remember correctly, this will take 30 mins or so driving/idle time. Mine sorted itself out in 2 trips.

I read that somewhere on this forum, the car has to learn again after a reset?! Well, I'll change the DME and do the ISV cleaning and take it out for a long drive.............hopefully that will be the ticket.

Shu,
Save the $$$$ DME for return - each time I have disconnected my battery, the car would stall on throttle lift off for most of a day, or idle far too low: as Michael noted, get in and drive it .... so the DME can relearn to idle correctly ....$0.00 cost, and some driving fun.

, plus the fun of pulling the drivers seat, etc: I'd do a lot of checking prior to flipping out a DME ... especially as the car starts and runs.
