Hi all,

Can someone help me please.

I have a 4.6 hse 2001 auto.

If I sit in traffic for more than a minute or 2 in hot weather my engine slows down and then stalls.

If I catch it and pull way it is very sluggish, once she is off it is fine until the next set of lights where it happens again.

Any advice please.

There is a take off pipe from the drivers side rocker cover that supplies air to the inlet manifold at tick-over. The engine cannot get any other air at tickover as this is the only supply - so check this is in tact and not blocked or kinked. There is one on the passenger side rocker cover as well but this is shut-off by the butterfly valve when the throttle is closed.

Hope this may help

Thanks,

I will have a look and let you know.
