and its an auto! ive noticed that the rpms would dip when coming to a stop. but today it actually stalled. what can it be?? ive done many tba's but still nothing. and it doesnt have a certain time when it happens, doesnt matter if its cold or hot, whether i drove for an hour striahgt or went from light to light.

you have an aftermarket filter? check your maf sensor?

ill check the maf tomorrow... whats the proper way of cleaning it??

EGainer

if you have an intake (how long ago did you put it on?) your car may be running lean, and at stoplights, where the car is idling low, it may not be getting enough gas. i had a friend who put a filtercharger on his 3000gt and he stalled at stoplights for the first week after it was on bc his car had not adjusted for the new increase in air....

if yours is still stalling and it has been a while, i would suggest cleaning the maf or making sure it's working properly

Whenever I started the car, I'd get terribly rough idles, some violent shaking...turns out one of my hoses (not sure which one it actually is, the German guy who's fixing it didn't know the English term for it, and I'm not sure what it was) has a gash running along its entire length. It was to the right of the engine cover, one of the black hoses that runs down there.

my sis had the problem on a 96 2.8 manual. The idle air control valve didn't add enough fuel to stop the drop in the rpm and therefore the car stalled. Could be that
