Little over a month ago my car started stalling when idle, well... any time I didn't apply any gas. It'd restart instantly but I had to keep the revs up or it'd stall again.
tracing the possible culprit to the IAC I ordered a new one and while I waited I adjusted the throttle valve a bit to keep air going into engine. last week the new IAC arrived and got installed, everything was fine and the throttle valve got put back in its default position.
today, on the way home, I got stuck in a traffic jam and about 15minutes in my engine cuts off... same problem...
either my new IAC just broke within a week or something else is going on. anyone got any idea what might be wrong? there's no engine check light, the car just doesnt idle, rpm drops to 0 and engine cuts off.
