hello
yesterday i was driving around, and suddenly my car would just die, when i stop.

as long as im driving everything is fine. this has happened before and somehow it fixed itself. but now it's annoying me as i have the press the brakes together with the accelerator when i have to stop.

engine: 2.6

Sounds like your ISC motor is stuffed.

This may help:

Search the forums for "stalling". A lot of topics regarding this.

sounds very much like its something to do with the Idle Speed Motor.

Had a similar (but completely opposite) problem which you can also find at:

dude sorry to say but when i got missks she did the same thing.... took it to mitsi's was the idle speed control motor..... took em a coupla times to diagnose but yeah

best of luck

oh yeah
i actually had a looks at the Idle......
and what i saw was two wires burnt the plastic bit and fused together causing it not to work. i associate that with the weather, from freezing cold to boiling hot.
i will be taking the idel.....out tomorrow and re wire it properly.
if that doesnt' work then i will have to fix it some time soon. anyway i am on holidays. another reason not to take the car out and time to fix everything in it.
thanks for your input.

yeah mate my car used to do the same thing just cut out then when you try start it it starts then dies..... it was the computer they go easy on magnas so i am told

My Idle Speed Control (ISC) motor died a while back. The car still drove reasonably well, but if I had the air con on it would stall when the revs dropped below 1000rpm or so. Also I had a clogged throttle body, and this made the car even more likey to stall. I had the throttle body fixed and this made the car driveable again until I eventually replaced the ISC.
