No engine codes or errors. Engine stalls/dies at stop signs (low RPM situations).

Cleaned MAF sensor, did not help at all, any ideas,

regards


ODB2 read out, can anyone see anything wrong with these data?

I had a similar issue. With mine a short piece of hose that delivered fuel to the main engine block had become brittle/eroded by the fuel over time, and air was slowly seeping in to the hose and ruining the fuel:air ratio by just enough to make the engine stall out. You couldn't really tell to look at the hose, but once remove and bent, it was clear the rubber wall of the hose had loads of tiny cracks in it.

At decent RPMs or engine load, there is enough fuel volume rushing through there to allow the engine to run, but when stopped, at low RPMs and no load, it gets to the right point to cause the engine to stall.

Might be worth changing/replacing some of the hose sections. They're not too expensive, and its cheaper doing it yourself than paying a mechanic a few hundred in diagnostic fees to find the same problem.

If that's not it, then maybe a gasket/seal is broken somewhere causing a similar issue (air leaking in)

Anyone has experience with these errors. Is it Throttle Body?

I had the same issue. I changed the entire TB because the TPS is too hard to replace/adjust etc. Voltmeter required and such. Runs like a top. No check engine angry rench or codes! $256 (TechSmart Part) Comes ready to install, no fooling around with voltmeter. Be sure to have the battery red cable off first. Check a 2005 Video on how to install a Throttle Body. It's easy.
 






Yes! I cahnged mine for $256 through Local Parts store. Life time warranty.
