Hi Guys. This would happen every now and then. Last time it was 2 months ago. It would crank and engine come on, but as soon as I took my foot off the gas, rpm goes to zero and engine dies, Sometimes it took 10 or more cranks(no order) to again become normal, However yesterday it again started that and it's serious this time because it just wouldn't stay one. I had to push brake and at the same time other foot on gas to keep the engine running and then shift to drive and take my foot off brake. As far as I'm on the road and pushing on gas it's OK, but when I am close to come to a standstill and need to stop rpm goes to zero like it wants to die down, so again I have to brake with left foot and at the same time step on gas pedal. This time it dose not appear to go away. Well actually it was again corrected for 10 minutes during several stops . I thought it's again back to normal but wrong! There is no order or no sign or sound alert
Now more information that might help you to pinpoint the problem, I considered this happens mostly when engine in hot, that's when I have driven it for some time not the first carnk in the day when engine is cold. another thing is that battery is strong and voltage gauge is normal level. it would not go up and down with rpm. I myself suspected alternator, but shouldn't the voltage gauge oscillate if this is the case, and also the battery is new, lights won't dim with or without rpm up and down. Maybe something in fuel system?
Please help! I just need the car and can't use it, it's hard to brake and use gas and sometimes it dies at traffic light and other cars can't move etc..
