Car randomly dies at idle
Friday, December 01, 2006 2:39 PM
It's a 94 Z24, It died 4 times over the last two days

I cleaned the TB already. Could it be the TPS? O2 sensor? only happens at idle

what could it be?

thanks

does it also idle low when you drive it (and stop in traffic)?
If that's the case, my money's on the ECU. I went through 3 ecu's back when I had my sunbird.

Is the check engine light on? If so pull the code, then troubleshoot and repair what the code tells you to. Has the car been tuned up lately? That is another thing to look at. What about clogged fuel injectors? You may want to run some good injector cleaner through, heck, you may want to see if it's just plain old bad gas. I use Lucas in my car. Is the car dying out only when coming to a stop? Maybe it's the TCC switch. As you can see there are a number of things that it can be, so before throwing parts at it diagnose the underlying issue first, then repair it.
