I shut my hood not hard, and my car stalled. I'm hoping someone can let me know of the possible issues that would cause this to happen. I'm thinking the intake got choked by cutting off the air flow to the snorkel...? Not really sure at all

Thanks for your advice.

 

Did the car start back up again after it stalled or is it dead? Maybe you knocked the battery loose?

 

One time, it almost stalled and another time, it fully stalled. The engine started right back up.

 

if it runs just fine now its just you disrupting the maf.our cars have really touchy mafs, my car will almost stall next to v8s that rev and such.

 

Could be the knock sensor.

 

Ok good, figured it was normal

 

My car does the same thing, has a littel hiccup when closing the hood. not a big deal.

 

It's the MAF.. It should also do it when something loud passes by you..

 

Yeah that is just caused from the vibrations to your MAF especially it you have a hard pipe intake. Just as the guy a few posts above said, my car almost stalls when it sits next to loud v8's.

 

Yeah, it is normal. Mine does the same with Harley's especially.

 

Dude, I hate that.. Especially in Cali where motorcycles pass in between cars on red lights..

 

Shame The MAF are quite Touchy like dat. Mine does it too slight hiccup when i close the hood...

 

Same, large trucks and loud vehicles make the idle drop drastically. Haven't stalled yet, or had problems with the hood. I didn't know it was a common problem either.

 

maf is the devil

drastic idle drop happened to me numerous times

never stalled though

 

i live by the beach and this happened to me all the time! AEM = problem solved
