Description of the problem | While driving to work, my car died twice. The first time, while approaching a stop light, the engine cut off. When i came to a stop; i put it in park to try and start it again, and it seemed to struggle when starting as if i were out of gas, but i had just filled up my tank that morning. The light turned green, and there was a stop sign about 500 yards away, and as soon as i was coming to a stop again; the engine dies. This time it took twice as long and several attempts to get it started again. Also, when i am sitting idle at a stop light or a stop sign, the rpms will drop very low and start to stall out. I am able to catch it and rev the engine to prevent it from stalling sometimes. |
