Engine keeps shutting off at low rpm
I am driving a 2000 Legacy Outback Wagon, 2.5L, SOHC
Very often for the last few weeks, the engine shuts off at low rpm at stop signs, red lights and while slowing down When I try to restart, it restarts immediately Along with this a Check engine light comes on and stays on for several minutes after the engine restarts I have taken it to the dealer They read out the check engine light and They changed the MAP sensor, but the problem persists Then they did a software update for the ECU, and the problem still persists Anyone seen this problem before ?

What is the actual code that is being set? Need to know that to troubleshoot properly.
Two possibilities that come to mind are the IAC valve sticking (would need cleaning or replacement) or the EGR valve sticking open (assuming that engine has one, not sure). |
