Awesome! Thank you for that diagram. That is really helpful and put me a bit more at ease..

So by cleaning the pcv system is that all you do is pull that little spiral plastic piece out and clean it and that's it?

Is there something I am missing? I wanna clean it good, how can I clean the open side?

 

Take the opportunity to leave it off and do the Fram PCV mod Best4x4 has in the sticky section.

Have you cleaned the IACV?

 

I will check the mod out. I did clean the IACV.. it was ridiculously dirty. It took a whole can of carb cleaner before it came clean and once I got to the second can, it finally came unstuck. I could maybe clean it again, or make sure it is not sticking again. My idle seems perfectly fine, this stalling thing is killing me!

 

Could my throttle position sensor be causing this? And if so, where is the TPS located?

 

Okay guys, have a new update!

So I was driving down the road tonight to see if she ran any better after cleaning the iacv and the tps, again. Stalled again, several times. The last time it stalled, something different happened. There was absolutely zero electric power almost as if you had unplugged the battery. I noticed that the postive battery cable was coming lose so I beat it back down firm on the battery. It started but continued to stall.

So when I got home, I put the battery on charge for a while, about 2 hours and then decided to try it again. Started up fine, drove up the road and back (my usual test drive route) stalled ZERO times! Then I decided what the hell and drove to where I know there is a couple VERY steep hills. Did awesome, zero stalling whatsoever...I drove this route back and forth maybe 4 times with zero issues and even stomped it a few times. She has never ran this good before, ever!

So my question is, does this point to a bad battery?? I mean I assume it has something to do with it, maybe that's where I got the low voltage to fuel pump code? But what I dont understand is that if it is simply a bad battery causing all of this, I've never had the stalling issue before on previous vehicles. I dont know how many times I have had a battery die and jumped it off and never had the vehicle stall cause the battery was dead prior to charging. Can someone explain this to me? Is it my alternator instead? Either way I am super happy to know that it is one of the two instead of a shot in the dark now, at least I got me a new crank sensor in the process too haha!

 

Good news! You can get both tested by autozone, etc. or triple A.

 

Just to add check all your electrical connections and grounds, you may have a series of lose cable failures.
