2007 Pacifica. Intermittent stall.
Hello.
I'm getting an intermittent stall on a 2007 4L Pacifica that I acquired a couple of months ago. The engine will run perfectly fine for a few hours, or more often a few days, then the engine will shut off while driving. I can then start the engine again on the first try, and it will again run fine for a few hours or days. .Although it is a very intermittent issue, it makes the vehicle unsafe to drive.
I got a mechanic to check for error codes, and an error code was produced for the camshaft position sensor and/or camshaft position sensor circuit. I also started getting a dash warning light for the electronic throttle. I replaced the throttle body, the camshaft position sensor, and the battery, but the problem remains. The wiring and connectors seem fine as far as I can tell.
Another clue, is I'll get intermittent and weird dashboard warning lights. For example, warning lights will come on intermittently for the oil pressure, anti skid, and catalytic converter.
I've read countless posts about intermittent stalling on 2007 Pacificas, and quite a few claimed the problem was solved by replacing the EGR valve. It looks as though replacing the valve is quite a challenge, and I'm finding it hard to believe that a bad EGR valve would cause an intermittent stall, all the while the engine runs fine 99% of the time, and can be started right back up when the issue occurs.
One other thing. The person who is driving it is quite short, so I did install pedal extenders. Is there any way the weight of the gas pedal extender could be interfering with the pedal sensor and somehow cause an intermittent stall ? I know that's grasping at straws, but it seems that grasping at straws is about all I have left right now[img]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/img]
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
