My *** car is giving me problems. From time to time the idle will drop fairly low and I will stall it out moving a low speed. ( parking lot or gas station for example) However it is very hard to restart and acts like it is flooded. I have to crank it for a minute and then get the put put put. It always starts cold OK so I don't think its a fuel leak. I don't know. Of course when I had the car at the shop last week it behaved very well. I think it is trying to kill me Your thoughts.

 

Not really sure, but the stalling at low speeds was a symptom to my coolant O-rings dying.

 

Crap it's a newly rebuilt motor I got the upgraded O rings too. My car does smoke a little but I think it is the turbos wearing out. coolant level stays the same.

 

Oh yeah, The car doesn't really stall on it's own I do it by not getting the revs up. It does however seem that the car strugles a bit sometimes to wind up.

 

Just to rule it out I'd get a compression test and make sure they didnt give you a bad motor.

what color is the smoke? blue or white? Does it rev nice and smooth at high rpms while under boost?

What mods do you have?

check the injectors, i think it could be a leaking one. if one were not closing all the way, it could produce your symptoms

good luck

P.S. you might wanna also check you spark plugs and wires just for fun.
