So I know what the primary cause is - busted T under the hood, so I was spraying washer fluid all over the engine. Problem solved.

But that would lead me to beleive that there is a a leak somewhere on the top of the engine where water would cause it to stall? I doubt was enough fluid for this to be a normal cause and effect.

So my question is what could be leaking, vacuum wise to cause the motor to stall and why is it not causing other issues - no codes, runs great. As far as I can tell it was squirting right around the ICV, but I checked for leaks and found none.

Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks -

Doesn't surprise me.

With someone starting the truck take a look what's going on. Does it not idle at all now? Does it idle sometimes? Does it run fine now?
