Hi guys,

I seem to be having an problem with my car stalling from time to time at speed. It happened to me again yesterday as i was getting ready to exit the highway. The offramp had a fairly tight corner and it scared the crap out of me when i went to steer the car into it and realized that my car had stalled and i had no power steering . Anyway im not precisely sure when the car stalled but i believe it may have been when i pulled the car out of gear (i dont believe i had shifted into a lower gear yet). Anyway the car started back up and all was fine

This has happened to me a few other times, maybe a month or so between occurances, but I honestly cant describe the exact circumstances behind the stalls. Ive done some searches and thought that maybe my iac was starting to go but wasnt positive. My car only has a few mods including an mgw, cat-back, and a k&n with the air silencer removed. Has anyone else had this happen before or possibly have any suggestions for me? Thanks.

when was the last time you replaced the PCV valve? being they should be replaced @ every 30k and failure todo-so will result in an early IAC problems, oh and ONLY buy OEM ones

Well i bought the car with about 35k on it. The previous owner had the dealer do all his maintainence (funny i know) and he gave me all the records so i will go back and check to see if it was ever replaced (i dont think it was). The stalling problem is a fairly rare occurance but it seems to be happening at times when it is pretty dangerous so i think i will replace both parts. Thank you all for the input!
