Engine stall

My car just decided after hitting 100,000 miles that everything was gonna go. My master cylinder went, Alternator, Front Brakes, Speedo cable snapped I think, Power antenna went, Check engine light, Main rear seal, Radiator cracked..... Well anyway on the way driving to work my car stalled twice. It has never stalled on me. I am really worried about it. My Rpms would bounce while I was driving and when sitting at a light a couple of times the RPMS would shoot up to like 1000 and my car would jerk forward. I think my Idle Air Control Valve might be going once again. It seems loose but I am not sure....Any help would be greatly appreciated...


P.S I think my trans is slippen to...*** play a funny joke on me hahahahaha

My car used to jerk forward like you are describing. It turned out that my IAC sensor was fully compressed and covered with carbon.

I would check that first. If that is not the problem, I would check the fuel pump.

Hope this helps.

Have you checked the fuel injectors or the fuel pump?
