Engine dies off after short idle 850

Hi everyone,
I hope you guys can help me solve the problem i have on my car, which is a 855T5-Automatic. The engine dies off after a short idle (during a traffic jam or traffic stop light). The engine dies off when i begin to accelerate but sometimes it behaves like its going to die off but survives. I do not have a trouble starting it after it dies off though. No error codes have been found. Fuel Float has been renewed but problem still occurs. This mostly happens when i have about quarter tank of fuel remaining. Please help me.

First check for any vaccum leak your hose... all the line near the injector rail....

their is a small shape "L" vaccum hose this one crack and leak easy... check them all out...


making sure all your hose are hoock up and connected... air line and all..

go to BAY13 look under vaccum leak and hose.. it have some picture this may help...


good luck....

do you check your spark plugs gap ?? and sprak plug wire connection ??/

is there any crack on your rotor cap ??? their are very small hair line like very hard to see...

do not over look them...

some time you can even have a bad sprak plug wire... without even knowing it...

chek it with the Ohm meter....
