Problem with the Wife's Tempochaddyp 07-22-2004, 10:08 AM I have no idea what is causing my wife's ford Tempo to intermitantly stall when she come to a stop. I've test driven it and it never happens to me, she says that she thinks it happens when the engine is warmed up... I think it tends to happen on hot days. After it stalls it is hard to re-start, sometimes taking a couple of minutes. I've replaced the fuel filter and it is still occuring. I was just hoping that someone would know something, even though I only have vague information. Hope you can help! Thanks, Chad Car Pal 07-22-2004, 10:57 PM check the wires from the maf sensor at the air filter or the ones at the small metal box and wiggle them while the car is running in park. sometimes the fuel pumps stop too. chaddyp 07-23-2004, 08:18 AM Ty, I'll check into it dxrflyboy 07-30-2004, 01:08 PM Make sure the Idle Air Control (IAC) solenoid is working properly. If you need to open the throttle to start the engine when it stalls, chances are the IAC/circuit is faulty Zebisko 08-05-2004, 04:57 PM See if the air cleaner hosing has any holes in it. Same thing happened to my friends and we taped it up and it was good to go! Blue Oval 58 10-19-2004, 01:00 PM It maybe a number of things. IACV idle air control valve TPS throttle position sensor CPS coolant pressure sensor MAP manifold air pressue sensor Plugs Plug wires Distributor Cap Rotor Vacuum Lines Leaking it could be a number of things, you might also have your throttle body cleaned, check your vacuum lines for leaks. jw_8890 12-10-2004, 10:43 PM you probably got it fixed by now but if not you may what to check the ignition module. 82KnightRider 12-11-2004, 11:14 PM u dont have to lie to kick it,u know its ure tempo........j/k lol......I use to have one and it was a piece of shit. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
