I have an odd problem at idle, haven't checked it out (put it off the first few times, now it's too damn cold to be playing underhood where I am). My CSVT dies at idle, in traffic, with no warning, every blue moon. Died last night coming to a stop, and that was not too safe. The problem is very intermittant but very annoying. I know the stock ECU hunts a bit, but it appears to have flatlined more than once. I don't intend on replacing that puppy if it's just getting a bad input. Any suggestions? No excessive mod's or accessories running at any time, BTW, and using good gas. This has happened since day one, and as you all know, the unexplained is progressively maddening. I'm sure this could be obvious to someone, I just don't see it.


98 CSVT, basic mod's, my slowest car yet but still faster than the wife's Talon Tsi AWD. Not by much, though. Now if I could get the back wheels to do something....
