Idling problem Engine sometimes quits when coming to a stop. Does the idle need to reset or is something else likely wrong? Thanks.

Clean the throttle and check for any blocked or leaks in hoses.

What have you checked, if anything? Have you noticed anything strange about idling (higher or lower than normal)? It could be many things, from something as simple as a dirty air filter, not allowing in enough air to the engine, to something wrong with the fuel pump. A vacuum leak is another possibility.

I dont mean to be misunderstood, but your question is relating to an idling condition when you come to a complete stop.....as my understanding of idling, is that it is the term for when the engine is running at its most "relaxed" state, around 700-800 rpms, no acceleration, and this is what the engine SHOULD do when you come to a stop.........so this situation is normal.

Unless, however, you may have got confused with the terms........or forgot to put idles high or too low in the description...

Idle Speed Solenoid or Idle Speed Motor.
Screwed onto side of throttle body, easy to clean or replace,yourself.

Happens to mine when the engine is cold. Don't have a solution yet. It usually happens at the same set of lights near my house. Putting it in park at lights until the engine is warm on the temperature gauge sometimes helps. Sometimes the engine management light comes on which is annoying. The repair man says it has something to do with a bypass thing when the engine is idling but he changed it and it didn't make much difference! Not like the old days when a good battery was enough to make everything work!

i had the same trouble, there is a rubber boot under the cover on the top of the motor, it is coming from the egr valve, takes about 5 mins to repair and less than 5 dollars.

your idle speed too low.take it to a dealer.they have to reset idle.it should be 600-800 rpms.when you turn on air conditioner.the computer steps up idling to keep engine from stalling .your curb idle too low.

this is your problem:

Here are the most common causes of surges, stalls at stops, low erratic idle speed, rough idle and engine hesitation (and other problems), it is in most cases the idle speed control air-bypass valve and or throttle valve and upper intake, these area's get full of gunk and combustion residue over the miles and cause idle issues (stalls, low idle) like yours, Get a can of intake cleaner from any local parts store, not carb spray, intake cleaner, it is made by a company called CRC, remove the air intake hose to the engine, hold the idle high so the engine won't stall, then spray the can of cleaner into the intake while keeping the engine running, use at least 1/2 the can, shut down the engine and disconnect the battery for 5 minutes, then restart and complete a number of mixed driving cycles, town, freeway, stop and go etc., after a few days the problem will go away as the system will relearn to the clean intake

do a compression test,if that checks out,oil gets in spark plug wells and sometimes not running on all 4 plugs pull spark plug boots and use paper towels twisted up and clean out oil around plugs and clean the end of the boots,

PVC valve is not metering air correctly, it will appear ok shaking it but looses it ability to maintain proper position causing a medium to gross vacuum leak.
