[QUOTE="chris229, post: 43036, member: 542614"] if the car is a couple of years old then read this--- when you remove the ground from the battery the error codes and adaptive specs decay from the memory of the car's computer. This causes the computer in that car to run the motor as if the sensors were new which they are not causing it to stall. You see over so many starts and warm ups the computer LEARNS that some sensors are not in the proper range and it remembers to use NEW values for them. This can take 20-70 warm ups. you may also see the engine light come on too. the reason it learns is so the car can run on bad sensors untill you get them fixed or replaced. Tell him to run the a/c too as this makes the computer learn how to keep the idle while the AC is on. Over the next couple of days the car will run better. Tell him to ake his car in for a computer diagnostic test. This will tell him what the computer is tryiing to fix. [/QUOTE]
