89 900 stalling problem Posted by nick [Email] ![]() ![]() |
i have an 89 900 16v with about 200,000 miles on it. still runs fine, except i have the intermittent problem where coming to a sudden deceleration (push in clutch) the engine just drops dead. starts right back up, but, it gets annoying, and a little unnerving in an emergency braking situation. also, at times, when at idle, it will lope badly and sometimes just stall out. i know there is the part that keeps the engine idle up in these situations...but, i am not familiar with the name of the part. now, to add to this situation, last week, riding it with the A/C and lights on, it died out at a stop sign. battery was dead. i jumped it, started right up, and ran fine with out the electrical load on the motor. it sat and ran fine at idle with no load on the electrical or A/C, however, once i turned both of these on at idle, the car died out in about a minute. same thing. i am thinking this is the same problem as previous problem? if anyone has a suggestion, i could pull this part from a junkyard and test to see if it is the part in question? any suggestions or information would help.
