1999 isuzu amigo all original parts, idle revs from .5 to 2 while sitting still. Upon braking to stop or slow down, car dies. Check engine light on constantly. Engine temp normal.

Have the computer scanned to determine where the problem is coming from. Chances are the idle air control valve is bad. Have it scanned to confirm. Most parts stores will do it for free.
