INSPECTION PROCEDURE 12
When the engine is hot, it stalls at idling. (Die out)
Probable cause
In such cases as the above, the cause is probably that ignition system, air/fuel mixture,
idle speed control (ISC) or compression pressure is defective.
In addition, if the engine suddenly stalls, the cause may also be a defective connector
contact.
D Malfunction of the ignition system
D Malfunction of air-fuel ratio control system
D Malfunction of the ISC servo system
D Drawing air into intake system
D Improper connector contact
D Backflow of secondary air to the intake system
