Originally posted by Ray: I am REALLY asking to be made to look like an idiot, but uhm.. 1. how is coasting any different than idling in neutral (which it won't stall in)?
2. How does that explanation (that you give for number 1) apply to OUR platform, in which I have experienced it zero times in a nearly every day routine.
1. The VSS. The PCM knows how fast the car is actually moving and that it is not at rest. It idles up and runs rich when "idling" & moving. A richer mixture is more likely to stall due to a sudden air pressure drop.
2. "Any" car will be more susceptible to stalling when coasting if you hit the brakes or sustain a panic stop. That's a given for any car regardless of computer control or not. Manifold vacuum is vacuum.
