Friends 97 GXE, 80k:
While pulling into a driveway, or reversing slowly and then taking your foot of the accelerator to tap the brakes, the car will intermittently stall. Sometimes it is hard to get started again, i.e. will start, but stall immediately. It doesn't happen at speeds over
30mph - and seems to only happen when the accelerator is released i.e. either to coast or to brake.Here are some data points.
1) I cleaned the throttle-body (it wasn't very dirty when I checked it- I but I cleaned it anyway).
2) I Replaced PCV valve3) I Checked air-filter (was clean)
4) I Checked basic operation of IACV - I had the car idling (at about 650-700 RPM - auto tranny) - set fan to high with A/C on - the idle dipped and then climbed back up to about 750 and held steady. Switched off A/C - idle dropped to 650 and stayed steady. (Repeated this several times - could not get the car to stall).5) He had a 60k service done at a dealer - new plugs, new fuel filter... may have done radiator/tranny fluid changes - but I don't think that is relevant for what is going on here.
6) He ran a bottle of techron through the fuel system.The car ran fine for about 6 months and now the problem has resurfaced...
What do you all think?
