2008 boulevard 1800 fuel injected engine. Engine starts to stall once warming up, 6 or 7 kms, at no throttle. Seems to straighten out if I throttle hard for 4 or 5 seconds. Bike had 1700 kms when I got it this summer, now has 3500 kms. Seldom stalled in the beginning, but now is daily thing.

Hello,
It does sound like you have dirty or clogged fuel injectors. The best way to fix that is to add a bottle of fuel injector cleaner into your gas tank and that will clear the issue as you drive the bike around enjoying the sights.
Good Luck!

SOURCE: Engine stalls

I assume your bike has been in storage for awhile...Your engine is running on choke ONLY, that's why when you cover the air inlet it's the same as what the choke does.....your jets in the carb are clogged and will facilitate a removal and cleaning of the carbs my friend.....find a trusted mechanic and you'll be rolling in no time...Good Luck to you......Tim

Hmm , sounds like a vacuum leak, check all the hoses, and the rubber intake manifolds and clamps

You need to fix the fueling first - without fuel it won't run!
Your other problem sounds like an air leak - either the manifold or the carb. Check by spraying WD-40 or CRC at the manifold and carb join while the bike is running - if the revs change (either up or down) you have a leak.

It sounds like your bike has been sitting in storage for an extended period of time (a year or more) - and the carburetors are plugged up. If this is the case, they will need to be completely disassembled and cleaned out.
If it hasn't been sitting (and the carbs aren't plugged up) then check that all of the normal tune-up items have been performed, especially valve adjustment, oil and filters, spark plugs, etc. If this fails to produce positive results, perform a compression check on the engine. Each cylinder must be able to produce at least 140 psi of compression in order to run and idle properly.

Even though you probably don't have that many miles on the bike, or if you do have a lot riding time on it, it sounds to me like you need a valve adjustment. That's a high reving bike for that engine that works pretty hard so you might have 1 - 3 loose valves.

2008 Harley Davidson FLSTN Softail Deluxe. Why does my bike want to die when I come to a stop only but runs great when going up and down gears?

The first thing to try is putting a couple of fuel tanks of injector cleaner (properly mixed) through the injection system.

Also clean the IAC (idle air control)

I have a 2010 Chevy Aveo5 LT. It has recently started to be hesitant, even driving 60 kms/h it seams to want to stall out. And has stalled at a stop light. What could be the problem?(s).

Check your spark plug gaps when you drive slower this symptom is not there but when you increase the engine load at higher rpm's the air gap is to far on the plugs and they spread from increased heat making it harder to keep the engine e running this also could be a dirty throttle body if you see dark brownish looking sludge you must spray it out with fuel injection cleaner and change your gas to a name brand that has detergents in it like SHELL ,EXXON ,MOBILE BP, ETC.//// valero , liberty, usa,delta are complete engine killers no detergents and it clogs up your fuel injection and that same brown gunk stays on your valves which will eventually burn them and cause very expensive engine repairs if this is the case please do this GO TO WALMART AND BUY 1 CAN OF FUEL INJECTION SPRAY AND 2 CANS OF THE IN TANK CLEANER BERRIMANS OR GUM OUT I PERSONALLY USE THE BERRIMANS AND HAVE FOR 30 YEARS, ANYWAY SPRAY OUT THE THROTTLE BODY USE THE WHOLE CAN /////NEXT TAKE BOTH IN TANK CANS AND PUT THEM IN GO TO A GOOD GAS STATION AND FILL UP ON 93 OCTANE AND THEN GO FOR A DRIVE FOR 1 HOUR AT 55MPH.

Engine dies immediately after starting

Very limited information for me to work with here, but if it is a newer fuel injected engine built prior to 2000 the try the procedure below.
Throttle Body Cleaning on vehicles without electronic throttle control (most 2000 and down)
You can in most cases repair this slow speed stall or unstable idle by cleaning the engine throttle valve and the idle speed control valve using a product called CRC Spray Throttle valve cleaner. Spray the cleaner into the air intake of the engine with the hose removed from the throttle body, the engine will try to stall so hold up the idle speed manually. Once you have used up about 1/2 can of the cleaner stall the engine out while spraying and turn the key off, disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes and then reconnect and drive the car for a about 25 miles of varied driving modes. If this doesn't cure the problem you may need the fuel injectors professionally cleaned by the dealer service dept.

84 Corvette crossfire engine stalls out when running and trouble restating after stalling out...fuel pump replaced five times along with fuel filter and fuel pump filter...car sitting since 2008 and...

Yea , those crossfire injection vettes can be a bear sometimes . I had dealings with them 84-85 - 86 working as a tech at a chevy dealer . Don't remember much about them , haven't heard anything about them for long time .

How's the fuel pressure ? Have you put a fuel gauge on it ? I would imagine you don't have a Tech 1 scan tool ? What's the map sensor voltage at idle ?

Idle is high at start - 1800 rpm. Seems like excessive white smoke from exhaust. Put into reverse and back out of driveway it has a regular shudder (bump bump bump) but not hard metal grinding sound.....

white smoke out of the exhaust would be a sign that it is burning coolant... if it goes away after it warms up, it could just be condensation inside the exhaust pipe. 1800 rpm is a very high idle, maybe have your IAC motor on the throttle body checked... check engine light? if so have the code read at your local auto zone.

1994 silverado stalls at low rpms and will not restart

I would replace the idle air control valve, or at least check the connector and wiring very carefully. If you have a scanner, go to live data when the engine is warm to see if you can read what the valve is doing. There is a test procedure at the link below.
