Stalling. No Other Symptoms


Über855R

Recommended Posts

My 94 850 turbo is stalling sometimes. It first happened going up a hill, put it in neutral and started right back up again. Again once when the car was a little cold let off the gas too quick and it stalled. Again still rolling put in neutral and started right backup. Yesterday once coming onto an on ramp and it wouldn't start again for a minute, and once later on that day sitting idleing in a parking lot. Car seems to run fine, doesn't do it very often but seems to be getting worse. Any ideas? Where to start looking?

I had a similar issue when going up hills. Turned out the short rubber hose between the sending unit and pump (in the tank) was loose and full pressure was not being delivered to the fuel rail. For whatever reason this problem worsened going up inclines.

My problem felt more like fuel starvation than a spontaneous outright stall. A hard stall might imply a bad cam sensor or ignition failure.

Good luck.

I think I figured it out. I had run some cheap, 87 gas in the car and I think it just hates it. I know better than to run 87 in a chipped turbo car but I just hate the darn thing and didn't think twice about it. Seems to run better and hasn't stalled since, yet.
