| Description of the problem | Vehicle with an intermittent stall in the six speed manual transmission. Stalls occurs when decelerating with the clutch pedal depressed. So far, this has occurred on city streets at low rolling speeds in the midst of a left hand turn. A full stop (as when waiting for oncoming traffic to pass) does not occur before onset of the stall, rather the stall has occurred midway through the rolling turn as the brake pedal is released, the gear selected, and clutch pedal released. In every instance in which the stall has initially occurred, the power loss occurs while my vehicle is in the lane of oncoming traffic, with only the momentum of the car propelling me out of the lane. In the most recent incident, the stall repeated after two attempts to restart the vehicle with the clutch pedal depressed. After turning the ignition fully off, then restarting the vehicle, the stall occurred a third time. After letting the vehicle sit for a period of about 20 minutes, the car started and functioned without incident. |
