P1009 Code: Car Frequently Stops In Traffic by Mist100(op): 6:38pm On Apr 01, 2019
My car kept stalling in traffic. So I scanned but no code. Kazeem advised I change my fuel pump which I did. But I almost ran a bike over because the vehicle kept stalling and loosing break function after the fuel pump change.

I scanned the 5th time and got the P1009 code: dirty oil, Vtc strainer and solenoid. But I just serviced this car last week!!!

Kazeem checked again and advised work on the nozzle and throttle body but I insisted he work with the p1009 code.

After cleaning vtc solenoid, vtc strainer and changing the oil and filter all over again but my car still stalls when i slow down from 100km/h to 20km/h.

Gurus please what else can I do?

The first time you noticed it, did you just buy fuel that day?

Something similar is also happening to my 2001 Honda Accord.. it just loses power after driving for a while and does hard start. Have to leave it for 30-1hr b4 it starts again.. I changed fuel pump and now the lose of power has even become more frequent.. Mech and rewire has checked everything.. Nobody can detect why the car loses power.. Just changed all the 4 plugs.

Please who can help me detect what's wrong and why my car loses power after driving a while!!

There are quite a number of things that can cause a car to go off when it is coming to a stop ranging from a faulty transmission lock up solenoid to a bad crankshaft position sensor e.t.c.

Did you replace fuel pump with a brand new one? If yes, how about the strainer filter at the base of the fuel pump?
