Car shuts off when backing

Post by Xtian » Mon Nov 10, 2008 1:22 pm

It happened yesterday, while leaving from work, also noticed when idling the RPM goes down to 300 and car starts shaking, if I don't shift to neutral will eventually shut off. What do you think it is?

Sounds like the IAC might be dirty or not functioning correctly.

300 rpms?! you're using NO gas! wait until it is about to cut off and then shift into neutral and then back again... 40 mpg city FTW! :lol:
