Was wondering if someone could help me. I have a 97 mirage and just lately the engine has been stalling. It only happens when my foot is barely on the accelerator, like when doing 60 in 4th. The engine cuts out, then starts up again a few seconds later (feels like push starting) It never does it under load, has never stalled when doing above 80, and I've only noticed it cut out at idle when its cold. I've checked the plugs, leads, cap and they're all good.
Ok, here are the kms on the relevant bits.
It reads a bit over 370,000kms on the clock, but I replaced the engine at the beginning of the year, so it has only done around 90,000kms. The relays under the bonnet, the MAP sensor and everything to do with the engine(except the radiator, power steering pump and air con) is the low km engine. The manual gearbox was changed early last year (thanks to a mechanic filling the old one with the wrong api oil) and that has done about 170,000kms. Other than this it drives fine. If it stalls at idle it starts right back up again and purrs like a kitten.
Thanks in advance
