My AE82 hatch keeps stalling Thu, 18 November 2004 23:14 Go to next message
If anyone can help me?

When the weather is humid or hot, my AE82 twin cam keeps cutting out. And the revs tend to drop out very easily and quickly. Its got the 86kw 4ag engine.

Its got something to do with cooling, as Im not stupid, and my mate has the same problem with his as well. My local mechanic is an idiot as he only flushed the radiator and told me it was fixed, I could have done that!

To allow more air to radiator, Ive taken the broken air con fan offf, but it doesnt seem to work, as I stalled in the middle of a busy intersection last nite. Damn its sort of dangerous.


Can anyone help me?
Do I need a bigger radiator?
Or another fan?
Would like to get the problem fixed ASAP!

I have had the exact problem with my car. Mine is a AE82 twinky also. The only thing you can do is to not have the airconditioner working to hard or turn off. Check alternator igintion computer. If it stalls turn everything off lights radio etc then start again is my reccomedation. If you find the secret let us know.

Yeah I end up turning off everything such as lights, my stereo, and it ends up turning on first time everytime. And I never have the A/C working any way.

The problem with stuffing around with the idle is that in the colder weather the car will chew up more petrol, as the car will never drop the revs.

But its a real shit when Im going to the beach or Im stuck in traffic and it just cuts out. Its got something to do with electrical and cooling...

Im on a quest to figure it out and my mate whos a mechanic is really intrigued as well, before I sell the damn car next year.

Like it hasnt been as hot of late so there hasnt been any problems...

Thanx guys for the replies, sorry havent gotten back quicker, dont have access to internet when Im not at uni!

fwiw, on my mums AE82 4AC (yes i know different motor) it would randmoly cut out in hot weather.. sometimes it would start again straight away, sometimes not... and sometimes not after sitting for a while if it was very hot..

anyway, it turned out to be the ignitor module... it starts to fail when it's hot, and the prob gets worse and worse.. we swapped for new ignitor and all was good.

try swapping your ignitor for a known good one and see if it makes any difference?
