MPI – Troubleshooting13-29
INSPECTION PROCEDURE 12
When the engine is hot, it stalls at idling. (Die out)
Probable cause
In such cases as the above, the cause is probably that ignition system, air/fuel mixture,
idle speed control (ISC) or compression pressure is defective.
In addition, if the engine suddenly stalls, the cause may also be a defective connector
contact.Malfunction of the ignition system
