Re: Stalling problem (long)/ a few comments, also long Posted by Peter [Email] (#2804) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Peter) on Sat, 25 Dec 2004 21:56:02 In Reply to: Stalling problem (long), R.T., Fri, 24 Dec 2004 21:58:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
1) Your first post made it sound like an electrical problem, you wrote:

Does is turn over normally now when you try to restart it?
2) Did you reset the fault codes, or do you still have a CEL when it stalls?
3) Techron is supposed to go into "nearly empty" tank, THEN add 12 gallons of gas. I assume this is so the techron mixes well with the gas. Techron active ingredient is a solvent used in dry-cleaning since the 1920's and as an industrial degreaser, similar to mineral spirits... (check the label and google it- "Stoddard Solvent"). The rest is naphta, benzene etc. Your fuel filter and engine should not be sucking in shots of undiluted techron.
4) car has 137k miles, fuel filter was replaced at 93k, that is 45,000 miles on the same fuel filter. Even though the FF should be good for 60k, random stalling might be a symptom of a plugged filter. Solvents don't always dissolve only what you want. If there was some junk in the gas tank (not unlikely after 137k miles!), using a solvent could have broken some of it loose, and the chunks could be in your fuel filter or fuel lines now. Consider that 137k miles is about 300 full tanks of gas, or 5-6000 gallons (!)
