Need some help here... hey guys, ive run into a slight (possibly major) problem. I was driving to my girlfriends and after about 10 minutes of driving my car almost stalled. I assumed I let off the clutch a little quickly, and kept driving. When I pulled into the gas station as I slowed down my RPM's started to dip below 1,000 which I haven't experienced before. Still didn't think too much of it though. When I came back out and started the car the RPM's fluctuated (again back down toward 500 then back up to about 800) until it finally stalled out. I tried once more and thought if I gave it a little gas I could at least pull back into the parking spot, only to find that if I tried to give it gas it would instantly stall out. I pushed it into a spot in the back of the lot and luckily I know one of the workers there o I'm keeping it there until I figure out what's wrong. I was thinking maybe the spark plugs / wires? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Don't rush out to the auto parts store and buy anything.
Don't just start replacing parts, find out whats wrong.
It had to have set a check engine light, read the codes.
Maybe the fuel pump died, check the fuel pressure, rent the gauge, doesn't even need to start to test it.
You never seen the idle dip below 1000rpm? Got a cam or something? Normal idle is around 800rpm.
Details about the car would help. Year? engine? mods?
Believe it or not there have been posts like this and the car was like a winter beater corolla or some ****.
DETAILS.
AND DON'T JUST START CHANGING PARTS.

Where you start paying serious money is when you start replacing parts that are good.
