February 24, 200521 yr #21 No offence 'Blue' but dont you think between constant stalling, inaccurate trip meters, and the like, that its time you binned the piggyback and got your car tuned properly? You would love it again....and I guarantee it will be MUCH faster than 101mph across the quarter when finished.
February 24, 200521 yr #23 My car coughs and splutters too, without stalling (and I hope it stays that way), I am waiting to do an EDIT as I have read a few times that it should fix the prob.
February 24, 200521 yr #24 Could all of this be attributable to faulty sensors giving the ECU dodgy readings on stuff like temp or a/f ratio or other stuff???Do autos get this problem, from what I read its only manuals.

February 26, 200521 yr #27 Author $$$$$$$$$$Can't pull this stuff out my arse! :lol:Sorry if this post seemed a bit abrupt. But basically the reason I don't get an edit is because I can't really afford to at the moment.Strangely enough, this problem seems to be getting better all by itself. It's still happening, but the revs aren't varying as much and I think it's only stalled once in the last three days.I opened my mouth too soon. Started playing up again last night!
February 26, 200521 yr #28 I had the same prob. The wire with the red plug on the throttle body had a loose connection. Fixed.
February 26, 200521 yr #29 I've got a MkII which has never stalled (touches wood with hands and feet ).I have had 2 different flash proggies in her with no troubles, either with idle or overboost, including the latest 'Overboost Fix' flash.Why then do so many think its the PCM that's the problem, and not something physical??I know from this thread that Street Tuner keeps pushing the Edit, and bagging piggybacks, of which I have neither , yet and he's still not a Sponsor The Capa Edit from what I understand increases idle speed around 50 or 100 rpm, which may just MASK the mechanical/physical issues you are experiencing.I would be checking all the physical before I blamed the computer (PCM).My 2c
February 26, 200521 yr #30 Although this amy not fix them all I think some of the problems are the o2 sensor I was adived to replace this on ours and it has not stalled for a week it used to stall every day.As I say it may not be the fix to all cars.The advice come from a xr6t tuner up here in qld.Ian
