Need help/advice with stall problem

[wicked6]

Currently my car is stalling intermittantly. A bunch of friends and I adjusted the IAC and TPS and that helped alot. But the other day, it stalled again. It seems to happen when I am decelarating and making a turn. I am thinking that something with the Powersteering is causing this. I noted that when I am in P and idling and turning the wheel that my rpms drop at least 100. When the car stalls the rpms drop below 600 and the engine seems to not be able to pick it up in time and then stalls causing me to steer manually and start her back up.

Also, I can not start the car in Neutral!!!! It either needs to be in Park or Drive to start her up. Also, the steering wheel locks if I am in Neutral.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The no start in neutral is your shift linkage isn't adjusted right. better get under there and fix before you fry that tranny. Is it an aftermarket shifter? How did you adjust the IAC? 20's in park (hot) 40's in drive (hot)

Stock shifter.


IAC at 50 in P and D when warmed up.
TPS .44 and 4.8x FT

stupid question, but why would my tranny fry from the shift linkage being unadjusted.

Your IAC is wrong, 50 in both park & drive, somethings wrong there! You want it low in park and when you shift in drive it should climb about 20 points (give or take a couple) If you can't start the car in neutral (key won't turn), it's really not in neutral! you'll hang up between gears (not in overdrive, in both overdrive & drive at the same time. That's why with aftermarket shifters you have to be careful to adjust properly (perfect) I forget how the stock one is (I've had aftermarket for 5 years) or I'd tell how to fix (can't be to tuff) Climb under there and see how it works.-----------RIGHT!!!!

decel stall

Try cleaning the deposits built up just behind the throttle plate.
Spray a clean rag with some carb cleaner, hold the throttle body
wide open and wipe out the black junk till the rag comes out
clean.
The buildup can cause intermittent stalling on decel
And Russ is right about the IAC counts, they should rise when
you shift to D to compensate for the extra load
