Re: Car stalls while idling once it's warm, help!
Well, this persistent stall can be either ignition or fuel related and both may be hard to monitor. A new cps would imply either the cps is intermittent or the ignition module is. Junk yard ignition...

Re: Car stalls while idling once it's warm, help!
There may be excess carbon deposits that can loosen up, break off and lodge in the new egr valve, propping it open just enough to stall the engine. The recommended cure would be to remove the egr...

The coolant reservoir sensor does nothing but turn on the indicator. It will not kill the engine. The egr valve most likely is killing the engine by allowing the pintle valve to stay open at idle and...
