Subject:      Stalling under deceleration and at idle.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

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
