Thread: 1st time staller :/

Hey guys... well as you all know I don't have a sentra, I've got an '03 Lancer OZ. I've always been up-to-date with inspections and oil changes and never really had any engine problems or anything but today was the first day my car stalled on me. Bear with my story-tellin lolz...

I was driving to school this morning and was slowing down as I approached a light on kissena blvd. As I de-ccelerate the car comes to stop faster than usual and starts rolling... now I think I accidentally slipped into neutral, but when I look at my gear it's still on drive. Then the engine completely stalled and of course all my indicator lights came on... engine, oil, etc. I kept turning the ignition on and off in 2 min intervals until like 10 mins later the car started again (with the check engine light still on). Taking a chance, my bro and I brought the car to the mitsu service place by my house and on the way there, the check engine light came off.... so the car's still at the shop (I want them to check it out 'cause my warranty expires in a month)...
and I'm still left guessing what the hell happened. Thank goodness I was just coming off the service road and wasn't on the highway when this happened or I would've been screwed. :cry:

I'm NOT very knowledgable where it comes to cars, so maybe this has happened to someone else before? :?

^^happened to me last week. Don't panic, could be any dumb reason.

Sounds like an air flow problem.

even though the engine light turnes off the code will still be stored in the ECM... let the people at mitsu's service department check it out... if you're under 3 years 36,000 miles it will be covered by warranty

happened to me thrice, i did the idle relearn and code erase and no more problems(knock on wood)...runs better than new.

it happened to me yesterday evening, i think my intake filter needs cleaning.

<---- maf went on me b4 other than that i really never had a problem with the idle or cutting off...dont even stress it Lanc3r let mitsu deal with it..... shit they get paid good money in the service department!!!!

jon i got the other filter at my house i also got the cleaner for the old 1.....

Thanks man, when I get out of court this evening I will stop by.

no problem just gimmie a call.....

Thanks guys! I should be getting the car back by tomorrow or latest Sat. Apparently two of my sensors went bad... so hopefully when they install the new parts everything will be perfecto again.

w00t

The o2 Sensors ???

I hope they aren't charging you.

it might be the idle control sensor or the maf.....

Is it hard / expensive to change ?

no not at all the maf is less than 10 mins to change if thats what wrong and the idle sensor look at the manual for the location and i am pretty sure that we can change it no problem....

But the MAF is like $150....fool

That's expensive.

it was the crankshaft sensors or something. good thing u still have warranty.

yea jon (fool) everything is covered by the warranty........

^^I was asking you about my car you tool. Don't let me stick you in the recaro baby seat.

It was the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor... Lolz I have no idea what those things are, but they're all brand new... free of charge 'cause I'm still under warranty. Yayyy!
