The trusty family convergence has developed an intermittent stalling condition. This vehilcle has recently had a SUPER TUNE-UP (air filter, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap/rotor, oil and filter, cat back system, cooling system flush and new thermostat and radiator cap). While driving the 1990 Plymouth Sundance, 2.5 liter automatic, it will at random STALL, usually around idle speed but it did it once parked (wouldn‘t start) and 2 or 3 times at very slow vehicle speeds, near idle. In the past anytime I had an Automatic transmission vehicle that stalled, it was the torque converter; if this is due to the torque converter I will be happy because then I don’t have an intermittent electrical or fuel delivery problem to trouble shoot.
I have had this car August and did replace the stock coil for fuel economy. I used an Accel Super coil and it really made the MPG go up; unfortunately it died in 2 weeks. I replaced the Accel super coil with a MSD Blaster 2, which seemed lasted 2 months (sounds kind of suspicious). While stranded at a gas station, I walked to the local parts store and acquired an Accel performance coil, which continues to work. When the car stalls, it has, after 5-10 minutes, regained it’s ability to start. This puzzles me and leaves me with too low a reliability factor to drive the auto until resolved. I pulled only code 052 (lean condition) just prior to this more frequent stalling (5-10 miles maximum without a stalling event). Prior to this it did stall 3 times, at low engine RPM (usually at or very near idle speed and at a stop, trying to pull from a stop and usually on a slight incline).
Any thoughts or insights are appreciated, as this is currently my back-up vehicle. :frusty:
