Car seem like it wants to turn off Hi guys I have a 1999 chevrolet camaro ss LS1 6 speed manual car drives like a dream, however on idle or very low speeds RPMS go as low as 500 if not lower and the car acts like it wants to turn off but doesn't had a vaccum leak and fixed it, there is no check engine light or nothing but just cant seem to figure it out what it can be. Spark plugs were changes at 110,000 miles the car now has 137,xxx. If anybody can throw out some ideas that would be awesome

Get some electronics or MAF cleaner and clean the mass air meter. Next clean the throttle body and IAC. Hook a scanner up and see what throttle position is reading and make sure that it isn't way out of whack. Those are some basic things to try for bad idle. Is the air filter recent?

Moving to PCM.
Btw, it sounds like you have too much fuel. Excess fuel causes stalls like you're experiencing. Has it ever been tuned? A dirty MAF, clogged O2, etc could cause the LTFT to be off and it's dumping excess gas that's causing it to stall at idle.
