[QUOTE=dom03;719643]Hi Guys,

I am having a similar issue although mine is a bit different...

My crossfire 04 coupe will kick over but then stall immediately, so you turn the key, engine starts, revs go up as usual, but then revs fall and engine stalls. (BAS/ESP light comes on)

• I can sometimes get it to start by revving the engine as I kick the engine over.
• The car will stall on me occasionally while driving (usually in the lower revs when coming to a stop)
• I managed to get the car to stall whilst idling, and turning on ALL electronics, heaters, lights, cd, etc
• If the car wont start and keeps stalling, I usually have to wait a while then it will start.
• Sometimes after getting it started pushing on the accelerator hard and fast will sound like the engine is about to choke and die and the revs do not go up until 2-3 seconds delay. Inversely if i accelerate slow and gradually the revs go up fine and the engine does not sound like its going to choke. This happens whether in gear or neutral.
• The car has had an ongoing issue for 6 months (even before it started to stall/die) where starting the car the revs would go up and then come down almost to the point where the car would stall but then shoot back up and idle as per usual.... this is the root cause I believe where the issue began and over time led to this whole issue of the car stalling while driving or not starting up!

I have already re-soldered the RCM solder joints, even though they all looked smick and clean with no cracks or issues form what I could see. The Relays themselves look clean also (no corrosion there).


My mechanic has pulled the following codes:

• P0221
• P0100 - could not clear
• P0410 - could not clear

Could you guys please guide me on what else to troubleshoot or try? If it's not the RCM in my case could it be:

• Camshaft Sensor
• Crankshaft Sensor
• Wiring going to the RCM
• Car Battery
• Air Injection System
• Air Pump
• Check Valve

Almost sounds like a vac leak to me, have you tries a can of ether under the hood while the car is running with the engine cover off lightly spraying ether around the vac lines (keeping the ether away from the intake? If you have a vac leak the idle will jump when it sucks the ether in, you'll have one leak at that area. Fix that one and test more until you can lightly spray ether and have no more idle jumping (remember to keep it away from the intake or you'll have false positives). Just a thought!
