Engin stalls - difficult to restart
Hello!
Over the past two weeks, my engine had died on me three times. The engine is running fine (all warmed up) at 1/2 or full throttle and then just stops and is difficult to restart. The starter is working fine as I can hear it trying to turn over. I have a late model A4 with electronic ignition. As part of my spring maintenance, I did the following. - sprayed carb cleaner into the air intake - replaced the spark plugs - added a secondary polishing gas filter & replaced the main filter. - installed early warning buzzer from MM - Seafoam in oil & gas & then did an oil change. - installed new 55 amp alternator Guages: - just under 40psi oil pressure - alternator showing a charge - engine running cool but I'm in Lake Ontario so not much I can do about that. - Gas is 50% new and 50% from last season. Gas was treated before winter storage. Carb was also drained. I'm thinking it's an issue with my Carbonator so I just purchased MM's Carburetor troubleshooting video. It's a great video, but it does not mention my problem directly. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? The last time this happened, it took me about 10min to get the engine to restart. & yes I closed the water intake after the first 3 attempts Thanks! |
