Car Dies At Idle
#15
Well I replaced the plugs and wires. The plugs looked ok, no carbon buildup but you could tell they have been in there a while but still good contact surface. Wires seemed ok as they weren't putting on a lightshow in the dark. It was still dying afterwards but only if the car was washed. My friend/mechanic said it could be a vacume leak that is picking up the water/mist and causing the engine to stall out. I found this odd so he came over and did a test with a propane tank where he basically sprayed a light shot of propane near the hoses and all of a sudden the RPM's went through the roof. Sure enough I had a hole in a hose. Replaced the hose and the car worked fine. I guess the 2.0L SPI is super sensitive to vapour... <_<
