car stalling

[fernando]

it dosen't happen all the time but sometimes when i'm driving at thake the car out of gear regardless what gear i'm in the RPM falls and sometimes bounces back but a few times the car stalls on me....i have checked with the VAG and there's no codes...otherwise the car runs fine, and at idle is stable and smooth..


any ideas on what it could be???


thank you

Vacuum leak?

i have the same problem and have yet to figure it out........
its terrible i cant stand it. think it could be the throttle body but im not about to drop that much money on a hunch trying to find one cheap to swap and see if it changes anything

i don't think that it'll be the throttle, cause if it were it would set some kind of code...but again anything is possible, and if i knew exactly what it was i would have fixed my car already...but if i find anything on mine i'll let you know what it was

Try cleaning the throttle body? could be gummed up and sticking a bit at times.

did u unhook your battery when u unhook the battery and u hook it back you have to let it sit on on for like 10 minutes before you start the car or the idles bounce

a boost leak can cause this

I recently had this problem on my 1999 2.8. It turned out to be my spark plugs. I would suggest taking a look at one of them and determine if you need to change them and go from there.

My bet is either vacuum leak or in need of a throttle body adaptation. Always works for me.

well it looks like my problem was my dv/bov, the spring is adjustable so all i did was i made it harder and since then my idle hasen't acted up on me...hope that it did the trick
