Got a "Y" Reg 1.3 ...... It has a intermittent stalling problem.... It can go for days behaving itself fine. Then it just stalls.... Then refuses to idle (Runs fine if ya driving) as soon as you put the clutch in (Say for changing gear) ...... On come the dash lights.... As you lift the clutch it just bump starts it & it runs hunky dorey...... When it has a stalling fit @ the lights & i'm in a bad mood :devil: I give it a Boy RACER stylee rev & that usually sorts it out ....... Anyone got any thoughts ? :whistling:

Its serviced regularly, just turned 70K miles .... & is generally pretty reasonable other than this minor issue

Pretty huh ...... I just cleaned under here :)

Dear J.M.,

Are you getting a Check Engine Light on the instrument cluster? Very unusual not to get this light with your symptoms. If no, does the CEL light work? When you turn the ignition ON first thing in the morning, does the CEL light illuminate but go off after engine start?

Byron

Yes the light works (when ignition on) however it goes out normally when the engine starts.

Its all "Quite Odd" :mellow:

Now its taken to ....... just well stopping at any time it feels like it....... Was doing 80+ Mph up the motorway & it just died :( (All the red lights on & silence)

I pulled over OK & started it again...... Then it wouldn't idle, I kicked its Korean hiney :P with one of my boy racer revs & it was fine..... I didn't hear a peep out of it all the way home..... I get the feeling one day its going to stop & thats gonna be that.

Somone must have some kind of an Idea ? .......... Anyone :57:

I have the exact same problem but mine usually is hard to start in the morning then it can just stall on the highway at 70mph...No CEL at all when this happens. No codes pulled either from autozone. From prior research been told it may be the crank sensor.

Umm ...... Will price up a sensor ........ :thumbsup:

A up j.m did u put a new sensor on your motor did it do the trick i am having the same problem.it starts fine and runs fine but stalls when warm and ideling and running some times ....cheers..oh yeah mine is an 02 1.5 mvi......

So I'm kind of hoping this will do the job :) .......... I intend to fit it this weekend, the car is if anything getting a little worse...... So hopefully all will be well after this ....... I get the feeling its going to be a battle to' it isn't in the easiest place to get at

How much did it set you back j..m....?????

$31.00 .......... Not too bad at all ......... I went to a parts specialist tho ...... The dealer wanted more than four times that :P

you not kiding mate i just found where it goes on mine it looks like i will have to get to old axel stands out i go down on the old girl.i have one coming tomorrow from a place not far from me it has cost me £33.00 so i am hoping it is going to do the job

Thats cheap too ..... Perrys Hyundai here quoted me £87 + Vat ........ So I went directly to source :P

they take the pi** dont they did yours ever stall when ideling ours has only just started..but the thing is the csr has not been used proply for well over a year and half and i am wondering whether it is some thing to do with that as well....

Yeah ya can be sat @ the lights or what ever & it'll just stop :mellow:

hmm...might be something to do with the fuel-delivery system?

I was more thinking of a problem that would cause the injectors to shut off abruptly, causing the eigine to stall. A malfunctioning sensor could probably cause a situation like this.

Its a immediate engine stall ....... No coughs or similar & always the same ...... instant engine off...... Just like if you had turned the key to off.

Its even done it @ 85Mph in 5th gear .......... Zoomin' along & blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...... Red lights on, clutch in more red & Orange lights, heavy steering, sloppy brakes........ In to 4th up wiv the clutch & it bumps itself with its own momentum, lights out & it carries on like nothing happened.

If this car does have a fuelling issue, its likely to be the filter, as i can't seem to find it..... there's a couple of items not quite where they are publicised to be ......

I would quite like it if the thing Spontaneously combusted & soon ....... But I ain't gonna get that lucky :whistling:

grght a new problem has occord i have just been out to start the yellow beast and at the first turn of the key it started but after 30 sec it cut out....so i started it again and it ran,ran for about a minuite and strated to die out like it was stuggling but it managed to keep it self running....it has done this twice then cut out again then started it and it was ok up untill it got up to temp fookin hyundis........oh and it is pissin it down in england...
