no check engine light but car stalls

**underated** · 03-07-2005, 01:56 AM

just the other day my car stalled on me at a light i didnt think anything of it at the moment cuz i thought it was my car being to rich. let anyways i get home check my safc2 setting and everything is fine. i was checking out my engine today and everything looks ok but when i have the car one the idle surges and some time when i rev in park or neutral the car dies but not all the time. sometimes it will dip low to about 500+/- but it wont die other time on deceleration it dies right away.

does anybody know what this could be im not getting a CEL so it makes it a litlle hard to use my datalogger. i have the galant service manual and it says that it could be an air leak somewhere but i checked and all my pipes are secure.

check your battery. if it's stock chances are it is bad... the OE battery sucks balls and goes bad w/o warning. this has happened to everybody.

if worst comes to worst..
maybe ur light is not good in the gauge pod..

the car turns on fine but this morning it was a little jumpy. im having a problem with stalling when comming to a stop or decelerating could that be the battery? my safc2 says i have 14.2 volts since it has a volt guage in it and also my datalogger checks internal engine codes but nothing comes up.

when the car shuts off the red warning lights come on but no CEL its driving me crazy can you guys think of anything else it might be

If your dome light also doesn't work then check the 2 fuses in the yellow section under the cover under the hood.
