1997 Chrysler Intrepid 3.3 Stalling

Jul 10, 2004 4 Replies

I am having a stalling problem.The car will run just fine and every once and a while when we come to a stop it will stall for no reason. It starts right up again with no problem but this can be a dangerous problem My wife slowed down to make a right hand turn and the car stalled on her(no brakes or steering) The car runs so quiet that you don't even no that it is going to stall......



Please Help


Possibly throttle body needs cleaning but car needs to go trusted dealer or mechanic to check.... could be lots of things. Mention throttle body possiblity and maybe you won't get ripped off.

You might just check under the hood for a vacuum line that has come off. I doubt that it's running fine, I would bet that the idle rpm is too low - caused by something else that is amiss.

If you have an emissions check requirement in your locality and the car has to be tested every couple years, if your testing is state-run they may let you bring the car through the emissions inspection as a "test only" for free. It would be useful to know if it's failing inspection before you take it to a place for repair.

It is Idling just fine I am wondering if the injectors are dirty ......

Clean the throttle body. Stalling on coming to a stop is a classic symptom of a dirty throttle body. Also could be a bad speed/distance sensor.
