Hi all. I jsut bought a 2000 Passport this week and have heard about the intake manifold gasket leaks. Mine would intermitantly stall when taking off at a green light. Otherwise it runs and idles fine. I went ahead and replaced the gaskets since its a known problem, and it only cost me about $41 and an hour of my weekend. It was very random, and it wasn't acting up for a day or two before I did it, and it's been fine since. My question is this: Is there other known problems that would cause a stall when taking off, or rounding a corner? I have of experience with GM (Saturn), they have crank position sensors and fuel pumps that cause the same symptoms. I know this thing is not a Saturn, but usually I find intake gasket leaks cause misfires, rough idle, lean codes, none of which my Passport has. Any input would be great!

A dirty idle air control valve could also lead to car stalling.

I am not a mechanic. But I have a 2007 Honda Ridgeline RTX that stalled as I rolled to a stop. I brought it to Polish mechanic who is good and also honest. He immediately disconnected the chute leading from the air filter to the Air control valve. He then sprayed the heck out of the flapper valve with carburetor cleaner and then blew it out with an air hose. Reconnected the air Filter chute and I was on my way at a total cost of 20 bucks. He did this just over a week ago. My car has not stalled once since then. good luck.
