My 94 mustang, with a 3.8, keeps dieing at a stop, or just coasting while off the throttle. It will also die while ideling in gear. However it does start rt back up again. Any tips please?

90% of poor running' poor idling, surging problems are caused by a dirty throttle body. When was the last time you cleaned it? Best procedure is to remove it from the intake manifold to clean if off the car. At the same time clean as much ditr from the intake manifold as well and the IAC and TPS sensors. Install a new gasket and replace.

I have A 97iDodge1500 4x4 with a 5.9 and it just surges when ideling from 100 rpm to 1300 until it dies. Would the sending unit do that

COULD BE THE AIR IDLE MOTOR, IF IT DOESN'T HOLD IDLE, ANYTHING ELSE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT DATA, LIKE TEMPERATURE, O2 FUNCTION OR FUEL PRESSURE, THEY ALSO HAVE A DISTRIBUTOR PICK UP THAT GOES BAD ON THIS MODEL. BUT YOU NEED CODES AND DATA TO REPAIR THE IDLE, AS A 1999 (DEKOTA ) IS VERY SLOW ON READING DATA.

My Opel Corsa 1.4 (2008) has an inconsistant idling, the engine seems to be surging but does not die when idling. This is a 2008 model with ecotec engine.

idle control valve may be blocked. sits on the back of the intake carb. also lose intake top can give erratic ideling

I worked on a Z24 model that drove me crazy - turned out to be a cracked intake manifold. Something to consider, especially if it only screws up while hot.

Will the idel controll valve make the car idel high and make it die when stoped

Yes its very possible that the IAC valve is bad.Here is something you can try.Take the connector off of the IAC if this remedies the situation then replace the IAC.If the idle is surging then I would look at the throttle position sensor.And also remember that if a sensor was bad you would get a check engine light that should come on.You might also have a vacuum hose that came off.

1991 honda accord- coolent leaked out from water pump area but water pump seems fine-also when car is ideling car would have little power surges and come close to dying - any ideas

for the water pump leaking, get some engine coolant stop leak from any automotive store, it usually contains pump seal lubricant also. the power surges are a separate problem from your pump leak.

Erratic idle surging at idel and in gear 91 honda accord LX

Sounds like an idle air control valve issue. these can stick open and cause surging. That would be my first step.
