G'day everyone. I just purchased a 2005 Avalon with 184,000kms.
Love the car but its been stalling.
It doesn't stall from a cold start or if it has been sitting for an hour but if I run into the shops for 15 minutes and come back to start the car the revs are just above 0 and as soon as I reverse or accelerate it stalls.
Anyone know what it could be?
Cheers
Sounds like dross on the dribbler to me. Or one of the flayrods could be out of skew, probably on the treadle.
Idiot. You are getting confused, his symptoms are classic for having a dodgy overhead scrawl-thrunger.
Presumably it's manual?
Did you have someone inspect the car before purchasing?
It might be bad fuel.
Maybe take it in for a service and a fluid flush?
How many manual avalons do you think 60+ year olds buy?
Also check the battery just in case, could be on the way out, happened to me.
fuel filter?
Can you rev it up slowly in park?
possibly dirty/faulty idle air control valve or dirty throttle plate.
Is it low on power? Could be bad Mass airflow sensor or air leak after the Mass airflow sensor.
It is being starved of fuel or running to rich/lean
