Thanks for all the info. My 1.8L, 5 spd stalls as well. It as if the RPM's just drop and don't recover. If it was a carbed engine I'd say it's like it's chocking out. The throttle response is delayed. Sometimes when you step on it hard the RPM's drop just before taking off. I understand that it's tough for a service person to detect an intermittent problem, and one that the codes don't recognize, but jeepers, don't treat me like a fool! What do these guys think, I'm just lonely and have nothing better to do but to come up with phantom problems because I need a friend??????? I'm hoping that this flash update will fix the problem. Why wait until Nov?

The problem must be all those oneway streets you have in Hamilton, the guy probably couldn't read either.Did they have any problem finding the flash update? Or give you an arguement about it? Just my own curiosity.

Hey all...this is great stuff and I'll be sure to take all this info into my dealer and specifically ASK for the flash update. I'm really glad to hear about some getting it done and experieincing an improvment. I'll keep everyone posted about my experience. Hopefully it will keep helping others. I'm hoping there will be a slight increase in milage as I'm not super pleased with the 24 miles per gallon I'm getting right now with a 1.8 and 5 spd.

Well I headed down to the dealer today with a copy of this forum and proceeded to speak with my car salesperson. he mentioned that he had one other customer that had the stalling problem except they had to have it towed in! Guess it wouldn't start again. Probably a different problem than what we've been experiencing. We both went to see a guy in nthe service department, not the service manager but another guy from AutoCanada. Does anyone know who these guys are? He is appearently the "head dude". I gave him all the info I had and explained the problems. He took everything and said they'd get back to me. So now I wait. I was wondering Thomas, are you able let us know the name of the dealer where you had the flash performed? This way if I get any grief from my dealer, Crosstown Motors in Edmonton, I could refer them to your dealer for more information. I'll keep you guys posted!
