problem worthy of lols...

so i've got this retarded problem, and I think it's only started happening since I installed the Schrick (but can't be sure).

The car keeps stalling randomly when I'm not using the engine. Ie, taking foot off the clutch to come to a stop, going to leave it in neutral to roll, etc.

I thought it might have been a fuel pump losing pressure or something. I heard the fuel pump whining once but that was when the fuel was low and I haven't noticed the sound since.

Anyone? I'd love not to have to go hunting for the problem, lol...

i had a similar problem. it stopped and started when it felt like it. mine turned out to be the key signal amplifier (the brown part that sits around the key barrel), i had replaced the fuel pump thinking it was the pump but alas it only took a hell of a lot of time and plenty profanities till i worked out what it was.

good luck

Hmm okay so a few things I can take a look at. Apparently the Schrick installation includes deleting the plastic container for the ISV but that's not the case on mine; I might delete it and take a look at it.

A friend told me it could also be a vacuum leak, but I'm not too sure on that one as the rest of the vacuum components work fine.

Cheers peeps

Just so I know, is this something related to an immobiliser? My car doesn't have one so there's no chip issues.
