Engine dropping to rediculously low rpm
Engine dropping to rediculously low rpm
Why has my engine all of the sudden started to drop to rediculously low rpms and stall out every single time the car is in park or stopped at a light. Everytime I brake pulling into my driveway or a parking spot the engine shuts off causing me to coast.

Re: Engine dropping to rediculously low rpm
fuel pressure problem, filter clogged or pump going out.
timing problem, chain streached, jumped a tooth.
vacuum leak, check by praying carb cleaner or wd40 around motor when running.
Hope that helps.

Re: Engine dropping to rediculously low rpm
Could also be as simple as dirty/clogges IAC. Take it out en clean the IAC passages and lubricate/change the IAC. Then check your minimum air and set it to correct rpm and the adjust your tps to 0.54V
Check if it helps.

Re: Engine dropping to rediculously low rpm
You know it may be more that one thing also. Check the free and or easy stuff like a tune up. Plugs, wires, ect. And as theking said check, clean, set.
With the new oil leak and smoke maybe your motor has clogged breather/pcv system, making pressure in the crank case and oil pushing out the gaskets and rings not sealing. BUT do the easy/ free stuff first. Check the last thing you did after the problem started. Consider the mileage, use/abuse also.
