There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Any ideas on why it's Stalling?? Comments?

I now suspect that dealer applied zip tied vacuum hose is/was a major contributing factor to my initial engine problems.
As an experiment, I attached a temporary smaller zip tie to the vacuum hose fitting - one that I was actually able to attach tight enough so that I could no longer pull the hose off by hand. The dealership had used a big one that is usually seen on the frame holding wire bundles together.
Filled the tank with gas and Seafoam.
Went out for a 225 mile ride thru small towns and interstate highways at various speed ranges.
Engine ran great - very smooth at all speeds. Actually hit 200 miles on the gas tank where my normal is about 175.
Keeping my fingers crossed that the new silicone vacuum hoses do the trick, and, that new CPS unit when it arrives.

Sounds good. Regardless, replace the parts. Not worth getting stranded, especially if the sensor is intermittent, or possiblely you somehow lessened a vacuum leak. The hoses are a known problem.

I have a 2013 STS and wondering if I should have a sensor on hand if this is a common thing? How much do the sensors run and is it easy to access?
About how many miles do you have on yours?
Only time in the past I had a stall issue I think it was due to those hoses.
Thanks

Part plus tax and shipping was about $107 from Cheap Cycle Parts. Not sure how common it is - it just showed up as a trouble code on the gauge cluster, so I'm replacing it to be safe, and upon the advice of some helpful members' suggestions.
The hose section arrived today as I was in the middle of doing an oil change, so while the panels were off, I replaced them. Kinda tight in there, but I got it done. Nice color by the way. Thank you again for your generosity. I'll be doing a ride tomorrow feeling a little better.
Got the new CPS unit installed yesterday along with the new silicone vacuum hoses a few days ago. Had a nice long 250 mile ride and everything went well - except for that dang thunderstorm that came the west and chased my butt back home for 60 miles. I did beat it, however......
Thanks to everyone for your comments and suggestions.
Guess I will look into the canister thingy next - seems simple enough by the posts I've read.

I didn't remove mine for a few reasons .... so I did re-arranged the hoses so NO GAS could get into the cannister .... look at my album on what I did .... IF you suspect the cannister did get contaminated ....it you stop anymore from getting in - it will dry out .... that's what I did ... Mike :thumbup:
