Hi everyone.

My 2010 V6 has been stalling while driving and I took it to several workshops but no one can pinpoint what exactly is the problem. The car stalling while either coming to a stop or in the middle of the road. Before it stalls, my car will start shaking vigorously and after a minute of driving it will stall. The previous CAI was an extremely poor quality one and I replaced it with BBK CAI “no tune required”. That still didn’t help.

If someone ever encountered this or knows what the problem may be please I need your help and thanks

 

first make sure you cover the basics:

• is the tune correct for that intake? if you had a "tune required" intake before, that means you had a tune for that intake, and it will need to be changed for the new "no tune required" intake
• catch up on basic maintenance: clean the throttle body, clean the MAF sensor, change the fuel filter
• do the "idle re-learn" -- details are on here in other threads, you should be able to find with search, if I remember correctly it is basically: disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes to reset the computer; start the car from cold and let it idle while it warms up for a while; turn on the A/C and let it continue to idle for a while

 

All that, absolutely! But the relearn includes two things more:

Before you start the car, turn key on, depress throttle cable to floor, slowly, over 5 seconds. This learns the pedal to marry it to the electronic throttle body. It will 'guess' and that may close the throttle too much, especially if it's dirty and it's relearned to work with that nasty dirty thing.

Then when you start it, go drivin' around for 10 miles in mixed traffic no faster than 50 and don't be doin' jackrabbit starts from the stops.

Hopefully it's just the clean/relearn and it'll be fine!
