The car drives fine and just loses RPMs almost stalling. And just can happen any time. Cluster does not flicker so I don't think it's a power issue.

Hi,

This could be a couple of things. When it stalls, does it start right back up? I ask because if needs to sit for a bit before restarting, there is a good chance the crankshaft position sensor is failing. Take a look through this link and let me know if anything mirrors what you experience:

Also, a weak fuel pump can respond this way. However, I feel it would be most noticeable when the engine is under a load. Does it seem to happen when climbing a hill or when it is under a load?

Let me know.

Joe
