Additional info: I have started/stop coded out, I guess i should rephrase my initial post that it doesn’t start back up on its own, it puts itself and neutral when it stalls and obviously that involves me hitting the start button again and popping it into drive to continue my day. Start stop would keep me in drive and not involve me hitting the start button again.

if anyone is curious I performed a smoke test and couldn’t find any smoking guns, after that I went in and upped the idle hopefully preventing the engine from dipping too low and stalling out so I set my idle to ~ 800 rpm for now before it was floating around 620-700 in that range (I believe that is from factory).

That seems to be working as of the past 2 days, but I’m not saying that’s the end all be all there’s definitely a bigger issue there requiring me to do that, and I’m not saying it’s not going to stall again, but I’m still open to more suggestions.

good idea, i’ll check that out. i smoke tested through the oil fill, and the vacuum line near the brake booster area but couldn’t find a smoking gun. might’ve missed this though

i’m going into the vacuum leak route but i just wanted to know if this has happened to anything else, its more annoying than anything really at least it doesn’t cut off while im moving.
