Chris154 -> Vehicle Stalls - Won't Run After Warmed Up! (11/9/2007 12:24:23 PM)
|
First off -- I have a stock 2003 V6 Eclipse GT.
So far, this is what has transpired through the week from Monday until now Friday.
Switched out the oil a couple weeks ago (just like always). This last Monday temp gauge suggested my vehicle was running a bit too warm (maybe low on fluids?) Upon checking -- Everything was fine.
Figured the thermostat was weak so replaced it on Tuesday. Took the car for a spin and it started to stall out at stops or if I slowed down too much/fast. Hummmmmmm. Checked under the hood and noticed battery terminals worse for wear. Cleaned and tighted. Took another spin, still stalling out.
Replaced battery terminals. Now the darn thing after fully warmed up won't stay running. It cuts out once the idle drops (sort of like the fuel got cut off or something). Then it will start right back up and cut out just as quick. No Odors, No Smoke, No Noises, No Warning Lights. I had to ride the break and push the throttle at the same time to pull it up in front of my garage without it cutting out or going through the door. ARRGH!! (as I pull my hair out) WTF???
Help!!! Is this a fuel thing? (hopefully I didn't post to the wrong topic area). Any suggestions?
Thanks Chris
ps: while pondering over what could be the trouble, I cleaned and oiled the air filter.
(which wasn't too dirty by the way).
