So ok guys my car dies when I'm stopped at an idle and when I'm driving I get bogging for a few sec the back to normal

I've had the timeing belt replaced recently ,head gasket ,sparkplugs and wires

 

Are you running the A/c when that happens? Not sure if you would being from the Canadia??

 

try cleaning your IAC, couldn't hurt. i'd also check for vacuum leaks.

 

Sounds like IAC happen to my j2. Got a CEL and took it to the parts store to get a read. I figure that was the problem and it was. Grabbed one from the salvage yard and problem solved.



If it dies at idle then it sounds like it bad. If the idle drops and you gas it then it's fine it could probably use a cleaning.

 

While you have the nasty solvents out to clean the idle air control valve, clean the throttle body butterfly as well.



Is this a new problem or a new-to-you car with this problem?

 

New to my car prob

 

Was any work done soon before it started?



There was a recall when these cars were new, something to do with the MAF sensor wiring for stalling at low speed. Was it fixed on your car?

 

I replaced the maf shortly after I bought it . But I cleaned the iac and intake new air filter. My CEL off and she's running smooth Ty for the help all
