Engine stalling, Need advice on how to fix problem Options

[bcelica555]

For about six months now my car has been trying to stall out on me when I stop at stop signs, but only doing it about two times a day. To fix it I simply rev my engine past 3000 rpm and it idles normal again. Also every time I come down route 15 going 70 for about 20 minuites, it never fails to stall when I come to the stop sign at my exit. I'm not sure but to me it seems like my idle air control valve or something’s like that is getting stuck. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some advice on if that sounds like the problem or not. Also I'm not sure where my idle air control valve is and I’d like to try to clean it if that is the problem so if someone could help me out on how to do that I’d appreciate it.

Hmm sounds alot like my problem actually. How low does your rpms sit when it wants to stall? Mine will do that on and off and will go below 600 rpm and the car will psychically feel like it wants to die. I was told nothing was wrong with mine and to keep driving it until it does come to the point to where it starts dying to point out issues. I think it really has to do with the IAC acting up but I'm no mechanic

IAC is located on the underside of you TB

Took the idle air control sensor out and cleaned it and it didn’t help. Tried fuel injector cleaner to and it didn’t help. Problems starting to get worse and I'm worried it might end up breaking down sometime soon on me. If anyone could give some possible things it could be id really appreciate it, I don’t want to spend the money to take it to the garage.

Well I didn’t get much help from everyone so I took it to the garage. I just thought I'd post quick to tell you what the problem was in case anyone’s experiencing the same thing. They replaced the vacuum pump and EKG valve.
