new project stalling
1st issue to deal with on the new to me 97 na 850 wagon. The car runs great for about 10 minutes or 10 miles and then dies. If im driving I can coax it home but it sputters, if idling in the driveway it will just die after about 10 minutes and will start after a few times but die once its put into drive. I cleaned out all the junk in the oil trap, cleaned the iac. codes pulled p0335 but the cam position had been replaced twice in an effort to fix the issue so i dont believe its the problem. after i clear the p0335 and restart, idle for about 10 minutes, die, p0335 comes back. more information:
misfire ready
fuel ready
ccm ready
cat not ready
evap not ready
2air not ready
o2s not ready
h025 not ready
egr not ready
seems to stall when the temp reaches 217 (need to double check that)

What ive found. Sequence of events...
Cold start with code reader attached
Monitoring ect
Temp gets up to 210 the fan kicks on and car dies
Sometimes the temp will get up to 204 then decrease to 198 and fluctuate there and everything is ok. Eventually it will hit 210 the fan would come on and car would die. I'm thinking ect sensor and thermostat

the woman i bought it from said she has had 2 cam sensors put in, because that is the code after the stall. dont know if they were oem, for that matter i can start replacing things from the other 850 till i find what it is. if a cam sensor was bad would we notice it from start up not, 5-10 min into idle or until operating temp is reached? i can try the ecu switch and see if it makes a difference. are those not ready codes normal?

It would, if it was engine heat that was causing it to start failing.
Like you say, switching parts from your running car is a free and easy way to diagnose.
I think the "not ready" stuff is just the self-diagnostic on the emissions not being complete. Which may or may not matter depending on whether you have to do emissions testing in your area.

If I was laying a bet down. My $$ is on the crankshaft position sensor. (Not the camshaft position sensor) Swap it out with the one from the other car and let me know. I would say it could be a voltage drop, since you stated it happens when the fan kicks on. But after reading your other symptoms, I'm 90% sure it's the the Crankshaft position sensor.

Thats too funny. I just figured by his symptoms, that the spark was erratic or interrupted. When I read his first post, I was thinking Coolant temp sensor, or voltage drop from the fan kicking on. But I guess that confirms it. Lets hope it's not a false code. If it does work out for you, get the name of that ladies mechanic that put in the 2 new CPS's, and earmark it as the last place you ever want to take a car.

so far replaced
thermostat
ect
removed throttle body and cleaned, (it was gooey and sticking) replaced and cleaned all firetrap related stuff (completely plugged up)
tried the maf from the 95, this is a 97 and would not run so i put the original one back
changed fuel filter, it was plugged too
after this it did run longer before stalling this time, when it did the fan kicked on and i could hear the fuse box clicking shortly after it died, but things are changing. i feel im getting closer to another nice running 850. The camshaft sensor was replaced, i can tell it looks new. ill try the crankshaft sensor and see what happens.

i looked at the crankshaft sensor and it looks brand new, it disconnected the camshaft sensor and would not start at all. i called the previous owner and she verified she replaced the crankshaft sensor twice, my mistake. i let it run up to operating temp once more and found that when the fan kicks on the fuel pump relay clicks a few times and then the car dies. if i let it cool down it starts right back up runs for a while and does the same thing over and over. sounding like a voltage drop as mentioned. how do i troubleshoot that! dont know which way to turn.

I checked out the crank position sensor and it had oil on it so I cleaned and replaced it, stalling now before the fan kicks on and sometimes getting 0335 some times not. When the ect temp is 199 or less its ok. I start to stall when the temp gets over 200, but not all the time but eventually will stall.
