When the engine becomes hot, it stalls at idling. (Die
out)
Probable cause
In such cases as the above, the cause is probably that ignition system, air/fuel
mixture, electronic-controlled throttle valve system, compression pressure is
defective. In addition, if the engine suddenlystalls, the cause may also be a
defective connector contact.DMalfunction of the ignition system
