Quote:"it is turned"what did, sorry
this OP posts, ares for bad distributor, the connector on side went , bad.
stalls can be cause by 50 things,, (most are in the engine. but we use physics and simple tests to find them.)
stalls : (hot and cold engine, or just hot>?)
cant save it with right foot?
misfire stalls, do to running old spark parts over 30k or 60k miles?
dash went dead just before stall (loss of 12 vdc power ) see gauges drop?
can be loss of fuel pressure if the stall is a hot right foot (preventions) and it bogs gently and stalls. (fuel pressure does that, by dropping)
got 2 doors?
drive with Diagnostic jumper inserted and 12 codes flashing and it stalls and shows 41, or code 42 (like poster did) bingo. its real , a real fail.
if engine is misfiring and engine shacks hard as it stalls, bad spark?
also the EGR loves to stick open as you roll to a stop light, but a fast foot saves it , but is tad hard, takes a deeper foot to save.
EGR bad. (USA Code DTC 51s)
if engine has general lack of power all the time.
compression low? not 150PSI W.O.T?
crank bolt loose up front.?>
timing of cam off
spark timing way off?
8v loves to run, the map loves all air leaks and just make tons of power, with more air leaks, run run run it can.
16v is far more tricky. and 3 more injectors.
the fuel filter need to be changed out or it melts the pump from overloading it.
stalls;
ISC sticking closed can stall it.
flooding can do that, as can leaking injectors or one that clogs.
on old cars i do, compression, first. x4
the idle vacuum 19"HG at idle. and must be steady vacuum (and the cat melted test ,)
then check spark timing if way off, the cam slipped, if some one played, blind dizzy spinning games. then the evidence is lost. (oops a daisy)
then i make sure the EGR is defeated and closed, i clean it and close it and remove its hose and clog hose, JUST to prove, its not that messing up. put back later.
EGR is ok, it cools the head valves, (exh) nice.
i then do the TSB for the crank, as never seen one done right yet,

actually done the first hour of ownership if real savvy. (persons hating wrecked crank ends)
drive with the DLC jumper inserted.
jump B to C
and drive. with 12 flashing,,,,,,, endless it should be.... until, STALL !
