My 2004 LT TB 4x4 stalls at idle. Not all the time, and I cannot predict it. It has never caused an issue. It is only when stopped and usually at a stop sign/red light.
It happens more when I have the AC on.
I have replaced the coils, intake gasket, fuel injectors, plugs, ignition switch, cleaned throttle body about 15k ago, and had a camshaft relearn done. I just have done all of this for other reasons, not because of this issue specifically.
Here is some food for thought:
I just got done towing a 6x8 trailer for about 1500 miles in really hot weather (TX) (This stall issue was happening before this) and I noticed that when I turned the AC on, the temp would go up a bit on the dash. I have never seen the temp go up ever. I ended up doing the entire tow without AC. Sure I got burnt, but my car did not. I noticed that also if for some reason if I really had to step on it, the temp would go up (kind of fast), but it would go down once I took it out of 4k RPM. Most of the time I did not mean to put the RPMs up that much but sometimes it just happens. I honestly do not know if the gauge is ever supposed to go up (because I need additional cooling) and I was going to post this in a different thread later but since I am having this issue I want you to know. BTW, when the trailer had hardly anything in it, it was doing the same thing but less. This is at least 100 degree weather at all times.
Another thing: When that AC compressor kicks on, you know it, the RPMS just seem to drop and the engine reacts. I think a slow reaction is really what causes the engine to shut off. What controls the engine load stuff? That is what lets the engine know that it needs to kick it up a notch to compensate? How does that work?
