AutoZone, Advanced Auto will do for free. resets when the and it happens under load and will be dependent on the duration of crank.
yes that’s exactly what happens when it stalls. Only the check engine icon and battery icon display and the start button is an amber color. I’m gonna have the battery checked by autozone some time today and see if that’s the problem.

Did you have the opportunity to take vehicle to AutoZone and confirm if battery / alternator etc. were charging properly?

I did. They said both my battery and alternator were completely fine. What i did notice when I lifted my hood was that there was about a 1 1/2 inch gap between my air filter and the lid because it wasn’t closed properly. I closed it properly and I’m hoping that was the reason why air was getting into my engine causing it to stall.

Glad to hear no issues were detected with battery / alternator. Good locating that the air filter housing lid wasn't sealed properly. Perhaps that was causing a misread by the MAF sensor / ECU, leading to what you've been experiencing. Do hope that's what it was. Follow up in a few days if issue is still being experienced.

I mentioned this in post #10. To check all piping to air filter. Another thing to add is if you remove the hose clamp. Don't crank it too much. If so you create a dent in the plastic on the air box top. This could also cause problems later if you remove the clamp, and say you rotate clamp to a different position. It probably won't seal correctly next time around. Especially with the pipe, and box moving with engine movement.

Default Any update?

Hi

I am having the same exact problem.
​​​​​​May I ask, did you manage to resolve this?

If so, what did you do?

Regards
Erskine
