I am still trying to figure out an issue my Doka has with stalling while coasting to a stop or idling. Under load it performs fine, and sometime after stalling it takes a few restarts to get it going again, it hesitates like it is starving for fuel, then dies. It also is sometimes hesitating while starting - feels like a weak starter, or bad ground, but turning the key back and trying again it fires right up. Previously I have posted and Denis replied that it was the O2 sensor or wiring. I have spoken to the previous owners and between the work I have done, had done, and they did, everything has been replaced or checked. Computers, harnesses, sensors, airflow meters, etc.. However, at some point the Charcoal Canister was removed, and there are several Vacuum lines that are plugged, and thus not connected. I felt that the canister was more about controlling vapours but after reading the "training Manual" I see that this emissions system is connected to the throttle body and there is a control valve. Has any one had this type of scenario, or run a 2.1 with this part of the emissions system removed? Thanks, Jeff Rogers |
