Author Topic: Engine switches off when AC is on (Read 959 times)

Hi all

I've noticed my car engine occasionally switches off when the AC is on simultaneously and the car is idle waiting at red light. I then have to switch off the car entirely and turn back on. Any ideas? Could it be CVT fluid? I also haven't changed it yet and previous owner changed it at 50k miles (now on 95k). How important is it to change?

Would you let the forum know-
Last service date/mileage and present mileage
What changes/parts fitted immediately before the current stalling.
Any other issues ?

When were (all) the spark plugs changed?
Air filter ditto
Oil ditto.

EGR valve cleaned?

CVT fluid should be changed every 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is extremely important and you must use the correct transmission fluid.
