Okay. I always have great luck with the experts here on the Brick Board when it comes to getting the low-down on my 245...
A few times this winter my car has stalled out. It only happens in parking lots. In cold weather.
The first time it happened, I just brought it to a local garage and had the Mass Air Flow Meter replaced. Clearly, this was not the problem.
It stalled once after that about a week later, but recovered quickly. Then today, it happened again, and by the time I got to a parking space, it barely had power to make it in.
It starts to sputter and then will stall. Acceleration becomes very weak. It would only start up for a few seconds after I parked it. So I went to work, came out 6 hours later, started her up and left her to warm. Came back 5 minutes later, and the engine had shut off on its own. I had no choice but to try to drive her home. I started her up again, and she hesitated at first out of the spot, then it felt like something "cleared" in the engine, and she was fine for the drive home.
It's only happened in the same two parking lots all four or so times this has occurred. Maybe something to do with slow speed and braking a lot (crowded parking lot)??
Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks!!
