2001 L300 3.0L V6 Auto - Won't stay running!
Current Stats:
Fuel Pressure: 40 (cranked) / 19 (key-over) Fuel: 1/2 Tank Battery: Working Current Codes: None w/ Previous Codes (Voltage / Transmission [which has been on-going; causing intermittent shifting issues until code resets]) Current Condition: Vehicle Sitting after a Tow Engine: 3.0L V6 Engine Mileage: 144K What I have done since it's been towed: A) Replaced all fuses with new ones B) Checked the fuel pressure (40 cranked) / 19 with key over C) Oil change D) Oil Filter change E) Fuel Filter Change F) PowerTrain Control Module (PCM) changed from stock "version II" to a Pick-N-Pull 03 LW300 "version III" which has been properly VIN Programmed via G) Used an Oreilly's OBDII reader and cleared codes with a jumpstart from my kind neighbor Nichole. It starts and looks as if it's going to idle; the service engine light remains on during this step; then it gets to 3000 RPM's when I am pushing the gas peddle a bunch before seizing. Can't seem to get past this part. I checked again for the fuel pressure and created this video as to what's happening at this time frame of this repair. YouTube Video: 01-27-2020 Without knowing for certain; a couple things are popping in my head. 1) Could it be the alternator? Hence; the not being able to keep alive. (However; given the weak RPM/idle -- it seems as if it has something to do with something else.) 2) Could it be a sensor that isn't throwing a DTC code? * Updated @ 19:41 - Also to note: The shrader valve puked a bunch of fuel upon removal as opposed to exiting the outpour tubing - Seemed like it defeated the purpose and I used a brand new fuel pressure kit from amazon. It wasn't necessarily cheap either. I was wondering why it would do that... regardless of the pressure readings. Thank you! ~ TruthSword |
Did you ever find a split? I have a random stalling issue with my 3.0 VUE.

If you're just sitting there revving the engine and not going anywhere, it MIGHT have a rev limiter on it. Have you tried just driving it up the road and seeing if it will go above 3,000 rpm? I had a PT Cruiser Turbo and thought there was something wrong with it when I couldn't rev it past 3,200 rpm with it sitting in park. Turns out, it had a rev limiter on it! Boy, did I feel stupid!!!!

Problem solved.
I saw this before I saw your thread. Andy is our resident evil car guru. He should be by to visit your post soon if he has not already. |
