Buick Rendezvous stalls after a few minutes of driving, possibly winter related on Buick Rendezvous

Problem overview

Some Buick Rendezvous owners report experiencing stalling issues after a few minutes of driving, particularly in winter conditions. These stalling incidents may be linked to a low idle problem, which can cause random stalling when stopping or pulling out, and this issue can worsen in colder temperatures. Additionally, some owners note that incorrect engine timing can lead to stalling and misfiring, with these symptoms becoming more pronounced during winter. Another potential cause is a faulty or dirty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, which can result in erratic engine behavior, including stalling at stops and jerking while driving. To mitigate these issues, it is advisable for owners to check the vehicle's idle levels, inspect the engine timing, and examine the MAF sensor for dirt or malfunctions to enhance performance and reliability during winter driving.
