Oil on the Mass Air Flow sensors. To clean: obtain some MAF cleaner at your favorite auto parts store, remove the MAFs, spray with cleaner, replace.

M A F = Mass Airflow Sensor. They could be fouled. Clean them with some CRC MAF cleaner and then have yourself a great day.

You're welcome.

Well I'm still having the problem even after checking the air filter, air flow sensor and put high grade gas in, the engine still stalls out but I have been keeping a log of when it happens and it seems to be only when the engine is still warm like when I start it up in the morning it starts up fine but if I go to the store and come back in 15 to 30 minutes later and start the car the engine will sometime stall. Does anyone know if there is some kind of automatic choke on the car that activates when the engine is cold and should not activate when the engine is warm. Please let me know.

No mechanical choke on our cars. The "choke" function (rich A/F mixture) is handled by the ECM and injectors.

This happened to my Z once, and the engine was still warm as well. The only thing I could think of is vapor lock in fuel lines. It has not happened again.

This might help you.

If it is vapor lock then how did you fix the problem.

Justice97 · 01-27-2014, 12:33 AM

I had no fix. It happened once and never since. I have a feeling my injectors may have been for-shadowing an inevitable future. I think I may have some injectors going bad. I guess my solution has been good fuel and clean air. Make sure her vitals are checked regularly.
