My 300 stallled this morning.

 

I'd only driven a few hundred yards and was waiting at traffic lights.

 

When I tried to pull away it stalled (it's an auto, NA).

 

I started it again, it started fine but stalled again when I tried to drive off. And again. I started it again and gave it a load of revs to clear it. It backfired (not too hard) as I did this. Then as I tried to pull away again, it was fine.

 

I did stall a few weeks ago too.

 

 

Any idea what's wrong? I'm guessing something electrical as it backfired.

Any idea what to do? I guess spray some WD40 type stuff and make sure the coil packs are firmly down on the plugs but maybe it's something more major. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

take out the idle speed controller from the passenger side back of plenum and give it a good clean, (take apart and de coke it) also reset the ecu and see if that sorts it.

Cheers. :)

 

How do I identify the idle speed controller?

 

ECU resut is just disconnecting the battery for an hour, isn't it?

disconnect battery before you start the job, remove battery to make it easier to get too. will be reset by the time you put it all back.:)

Check the cas connecter aswell

Nice one, thank you.

Crank angle sensor, right?

 

No idea where that / its connector is either!

Think I've found it thanks to Google.
