The War Machine....Plagued by Communist Attack!
Saturday, January 22, 2011 1:41 PM
So, my wife's driving the war machine, and it died 3 times on the way home (1.5miles) after dropping me off at base, I've never had this happen before, here are the symptoms...

Moderate amount of electronics being used, including Radio, Headlights, Heater
Runs fine while moving, gets to a complete halt and bogs out then dies
My wife says there is some agitation before it dies

I just tried replicating this fault using ALL electronics and accesories, high beams, hazards, radio all the way up, heater full blast, rear window defogger...
Whilst trying my best to emulate female driving, hard stops, quick launches from stops, and listening to Katy Perry.

I could NOT replicate the fault! No CEL, nothing, it bogs down a little, normally the engine operates around 700RPM, It got down to 300 while blipping up to 1000, but would not die...

I'm moving duty stations soon and driving across country, needless to say this could mean disaster and or a trip to military prison.

WTF could be wrong? I figured it was communist insurgency, but have yet to gather enough evidence.

. Try getting the alternator tested for a bad diode, clean the IAC valve, and quit listening to Katy Perry.

I had the exact same problem, I replaced the IAC and it hasn't happened since then.
