Engine almost stalls at idle...

Post by SilverBullet »

hey guys, i've got a 96 V6.. it just started doing this. it only does it SOMETIMES... when the engine is warm and i've been driving for a while, when i come to a stop and push the clutch in, the engine rpms drop to between 0 and 400 rpm and it fluctuates.. almost stalling and then idling.. and then almost stalling again.. it will stall most of the time if I don't give it some gas.. i'm thinking it's a problem with a sensor somewhere... can you help me out?! Thanks!

hmm, mine used to stall after long trips...thought it was my distributer, but it went away. Could be a vaccum leak....

Check your black rubber intake hose, look for a small crack somewhere between the ridges. This happens to everbody at one time or another.
