Ford Galaxy 2.3 1999 Stalling Problem.

[reZon]

Hello! Please at first sorry for my bad english =) I`m not resident of the UK.

 

I have a Galaxy 2.3 1999.

Five days ago when i stopped on crossroads my car began to shake and tachometer needle start jumping from 1000 to 500 and back.

Then i when i stays on parking with engine on, it happens again and engine is stall. As i see it happens only on hot engine and never on cold. Engine cooling fan works fine.

I have changed spark plug but problem still here.

 

I heard that may be result of air leaks, so pls can anyone tell how to check this and where( with pictures or scheme with big red arrows ), bacause services in my country said that is my car too old and they don`t want even try to fix it.

 

Pls help if you can.

 

Thanks.

Possibly a faulty temperature sensor.

Vacuum leaks will also cause erratic running, you will have to physically inspect all the pipework for splits and perishing.

Hello!

Thanks for answering me.

I had a one more question, is faulty temp sensor should be in errors that i get by vag-com? I tried use vag-com and elm327 for check, but i get no errors by eml327 and some form vag-com. But i think this errors not related to my problem. Please look at then, maybe you could say something.

From my own experience if you car is running ok apart from when idleing then you may want to remove and clean out the idle control valve with carb cleaner as this is prone to clogging up with muck and sticking. There are only two bolts to remove it. This will cause irratic idle and stalling when blocked up so it's a quick and easy check!

Thanks i`ll go to service this week for over jobs. And ask then to do that.

Vag Com will not read fault codes on the 2.0 and 2.3 engines as they are Ford engines and not VW.

Try whats been suggested like cleaning idle control valve and if you havn't checked for split or perished hoses please do so.

Does your temperature gauge stay steady at the 90deg mark when driving?

I sad that i also used elm327 that for engine check, and no fault codes.

I check splits... it is look fine for me... but i think is there some methods of inspection that i can use another than my eyes look.

90deg... I misunderstand how i must check this, i have analog gauge with word "normal" and no any other information like numbers etc.

Ho ho!

I looks like the story come to the end.

It seems my problem was combining of air leak in idle control valve(part number 6NW 009 141-011), oxygen sensor(part number 0 258 003 714).

When i replaced idle control valve problem became smaller, and now i replaced o2 sensor and seems it gone.

Big testing tomorrow. I`ll report about results.

Cost for spare parts about 114 pounds.
