Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / May 2004EB Falcon Stalling Problems
Hi ALl, Was hoping someone might be able to help me out here. My EB Falcon stalls regualry at lights. It's be tuned up, had the fan belts replaced. I have also taken it to a Auto Sparky how has tested it for error codes. No error codes where reported back. This sparky reckons the computer needs work. I seem to think it me be a sensor as (I think it is the IZ sensor) that controls the idle speed (Falcons idle can't be reset as this is a fcactory setting) as when you turn a corner, put the lights on or run the air con, the idle drops and the engine stalls. I had the trans serviced and this has made some of the idle problems dissappear (THe trans desperately needed a service)... Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions. Cheers, Scott-e > Hi ALl, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheers, > Scott-e 6 cylinder motors of that size shouldn't need an 'idle-up' control when the AC is switched on let alone the lights. Sounds a bit strange,..I'd make sure the battery connections are clean and tight. I had a situation where my Camry would stall when I flicked the headlights on. It was because the battery clamp had come loose and the car was running on the alternator only. This meant the alternator had to respond to massive current damands which occurr for an instant as things like cold filaments in lights and AC clutch inrush current come on. The alternator would simply bale-out causing an engine stall. If the engine is running too lean, sudden loads can cause a stall. Jason -stuffed power steering switch??? for the turn corner stall. -isc (idle speed control) solinoid - base idle speed just a few shots in the dark col > > Hi ALl, > > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Jason > -stuffed power steering switch??? for the turn corner stall. > -isc (idle speed control) solinoid > - base idle speed > just a few shots in the dark > col Yeah, I too would check the base idle speed. Had the exact same problem and stuffed around for ages before trying this and wol-ah. Aparently it is the base idle setting. It needs to be reset after the battery is changed. I changed my battery some time ago and it hasn't run correctly since then Scott > Hi ALl, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > Cheers, > Scott-e Gday Scott, My brother has the same problem with his EB - Where do you reset the base idle setting? Also, where is the ISC solenoid? I've tried disconnecting the battery for half an hour, then reconnecting and putting the air con on in park and drive, then it off it park and drive, for 2 mins each. (so the computer re-learns) Seemed to work for a while but has gone back to doing its thing again! cheers Rhys > Aparently it is the base idle setting.
