whats up everyone....any info on how to help me out or an ideas are appreciated....
a month ago i started to notice that everytime i would slow down to either traffic or to a red light my car would stutter a bit and the rpms would drop and then catch itself...it would do this on and off whenever it felt like it...last week it got to a point where at idle in park the car would shut off...and when i slowed down to stop it would shut off...sometimes the car would stutter and sometimes it shut off...just had to put it in neutral and it restarted again...went to my mechanic and diagnosed it as a bad iac sensor. replaced it and off i went...went a few blocks and there it goes again...same problem as before...stuttering and shutting off...went back...and told him maybe it was a defective iac sensor...he got another one and replaced it again...so far for 2 days the idle is better...doesnt do it too often but it still stutters a bit and actually shut off on me when i was going home tonight...any input or ideas would be great....if im missing something please tell me and ill try to explain it more...
