Hawaiiviper Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I've had a small issue with my Glanza stalling due to the oil pressure/idle not kicking in when the rpm's drop. I have plenty of oil in my engine, it only does it every now and then I wasn't sure if the oil pump has taking a shit or it was my idler not kicking in or something of that nature. Any advice is appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I dont understand. When is the car stalling? Are you assuming it has to do with the oil pressure because the light comes on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawaiiviper Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 While rpm's are dropping (let's say from 6K) it's like they continue to drop below 1K and my idle doesn't catch and the car stalls. So i'll end up having to start and keep the rev's up for 10-15 seconds and it seems to fix itself. I figure it's oil pressure because of my oil p. gauge gets to low and the car stalls. I was just trying to see if my oil pump was weak or if there was something to check as far as my idle to adjust/fix. But 95% of the time the car runs smooth. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 The oil pressure will drop as engine speed decreases, just the same it will increase with engine speed. You checked for vac leaks? Cleaned the ICV? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hawaiiviper Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 No vac leaks, could be the ICV thanks for the advice, Just want to make sure I get my Glanza on the boat this friday for it's long trip from okinawa to england Quote Link to post Share on other sites
