badrhino Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I am stil having engine stalling problems right after you start the car. It also recently did it while on the interstate driving at 72 mph. The dash needles on speedo and tach both nose dived and then came back on and then the car died. It did this twice. It does it in town while driving and it will do it when you just get in the car and start it. Could this be an electrical problem? There are no codes showing up that are new. I have a current Idle speed high code but I don't think that this could be the culprit. Any new suggestions? This is really getting old and I need to get it fixed before it hurts someone or severley embarasses me! Today is the day you were worried about yesterday!

From what I recall, it was a damaged data connection for the engine management hardware somewhere under the hood. I believe he fixed it himself... But he had a lot more space to tinker with.
