Re: Engine stalls and shuts off at low PRM's
i have a v8 5.0 fuel inject.
The car runs fine while i drive it, when i stop at a stop light or stop sign or while i wait for a red light to change green, the car wants to die out but sometimes it does and sometimes it dosent.
also sometimes after i stop and then take off and gas pedal gets stuck so when i press down on it to get it unstuck the engine stalls for a couple seconds and revs fine and good take off......i heard it could be the throttle body of why the gas pedal gets stuck
