Almost always when i am idling at a stop light or in traffic my car will cut off. sometimes it will cut off imediatly but normally withing 20 or so seconds. sometimes it will struggle to stay on especially if i happen to try to push the gas right when it tries to die on me other times it just dies...
it seems to do better if i have the a/c on like it idles a little better or something but it will still die just not as much.
occasionally it will stay on for longer than 20-30 seconds while idling 1, 2 , even 5 minuts but rarely...
it will always start right back up in park or nuetral.
thanks!
This is your problem:
Here are the most common causes of surges, stalls at stops, low erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake
