97pathowner Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) the problem started a few weeks ago. When I come to a stop or idle at an intersection, the vehicle just dies without any warning, no sputter, no shaking. It just dies. I put it in park and can start it right up and keep go. If I put it in neutral and give it a little gas, it doesn't die. I've replaced the plugs since then, no avail. Took it to a mech, he replaced air filter, air mass meter boot and clean up the idle, still no luck. I took it back, he said might be the distributor. I asked could it be the IAC valve, he said shouldn't be because the vehicle idles nicely, rpm not going up or down, holds steady at around 850. any idea? I also ordered this distributor from amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008032N2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 since it's got decent reviews. I just inspected the shaft, it doesn't really spin freely, I have to really turn it with two fingers. If I place it up side down on a table and try to spin the shaft, the whole thing spins with the shaft slightly. does this indicate a problem? According to this video, it should spin freely https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YJI5mnsz4E. Thanks! Edited January 14, 2017 by 97pathowner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChemExposure Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Mine does this, not every time but it's only when I suddenly come to a stop. Do you notice your clock dimming before it happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
