Buick 2002 lesabre- stalls 1 or 2 a week and starts up.nothing shows in diagnostic code. stalls when slowed or stopped

Stalls out at low or stopped speed. Drove 800 miles- never stalled. Drove 3 miles- stalled. Starts up and go, but can't slow down or feels like will stall again. Then 4 or 5 days, fine. Tune up, plugs, new hub, brake lines, brakes and nothing at all shows in diagnosing code. (thats great, but not for this problem).Years ago transmission installed, showed ignition coil possible replacement needed. Doesn't come up in code now.Throttle cleaned out,oil change ,air filter, fuel filter- all done! Afraid to drive far,although it does start up. Never done it at speeds of 20mph or more.

Have you had it to a shop that has a professional type scan tool that can view engine sensor data parameters ? Do you know what those are ? Idle air control counts , mass air flow sensor data , MAP sensor , TPS - throttle position sensor , crankshaft position sensors , Cam sensors , engine coolant temp , intake air temp etc......

SOURCE: 1995 Buick Lesabre custom stalling and idle

did you clean the idle speed control air bypass valve?, u do this by spraying carb spray into the intake while the engine is held at hi idle so it won't stall, use up about half the can, then shut down and disconnect battery for 5 minutes to reset system idle learn, drive the car for a few days and let me know if the problem is fixed.

Its probably a vacuum line problem or EVAP or possibly the Mass Air Flow Sensor. Make sure that is hooked up as well. Examine all lines to see if there is a rip or tear or anything loose

2002 buick regal runs rough and stalls

Having a qualified repair shop do diagnostic's on the vehicle would be your best bet . Could be any number of thing's ,engine mangement system sensor's , fuel system , ignition system , engine mechanical systems etc.... Could be as simple as just needing spark plug's & wire's , fuel filter . But , some testing should be done by a qualified technician with a professional scanner .You don't want to get into a guessing game , one person tell's you it's this or that , because without doing testing they are just guessing .

Car stall while driving on highway or when coming to a stop, it will re-start immediately but keeps stalling out.

Run a diagnostic scan to help troubleshoot---Fuel pump or crank sensor would be a good place to start guessing.

2000 buick lesabre stall after starting or after running for 30 minutes

I have a 1996 Lesabre. I had a similar problem that slowly got worse. I brought it to two different mechanics that did diagnostic checks and could only "suggest" what to replace to fix the problem. Their problem was that it wouldnt stall out while they had the mv. After replacing a bunch of sensors and the fuel pump/ filter, I solved the problem by replacing the Crank Sensor. Its located behind the lower crank pulley on the 3.8 lt motor. Hope this helps!
