i just get my Airtrek few days only. during i drive to outstation, my car idling time will have die ignition problem. but not often, have 2 times edy. so what happen on my engine?
i have ask ex-owner what happen, he say is idler problem, he face this problem on 1yr+ also, after service the idler then no more edy.
 
Stalling on idle can be due to a few reasons. Most common one is idling control valve caput. It's located under the throttle body. Sometimes, servicing it may help. Do this test. Park your car at idle, stay at Nuetral. Turn the steering wheel from most left to most right, see if the RPM raises. If it doesn't, time to replace your idling control valve.

Another one is MAF sensor. When the car dies, check engine light will come on. MAF sensor also have a symthom where at full throttling, the boost will fluctuate up and down vigorously.

I had my MAF sensor replaced. A new one costed me RM1.4K 2 years ago.

i never notice when dies the engine light on.
 
Sometimes it helps. When I say service, it includes cleaning of throttle body too. Can do at Ah Wah la. Hehehehe.
 
which 1 is the idling control valve?

Do the steering wheel test first. See if the rpm raises.

i already do the test steering wheel turn, rpm no raise. normal
 
Yes, go to Ah Wah's place the best. And talk about buying plugs, I buy from him too. Peace of Mind. No need to worry fake ones. He has his own way to get original stuffs.
 
Biao, yr location is in Perak right? Yeah.. not convenient to come to KL just to service the car..
