hey guys i have a 1994 ford probe with a 4 clyinder the problem is that when it idles it runs rough but stays running but when i drive it and let my foot off the gas it dies but then it will crank back up and can drive it but then it will do it again. i have checked for vacuum leaks none found. there were no codes in the system. the car still has plenty of power and doesn't struggle going up hill. any suggestion would help. thank you

I would check the iac(idle air control module) its probably faulty or all carboned up. also you may want to do a thorough throttle body cleaning, you will be surprised at what you can get out of a simple cleaning. one more thing, check/clean the mass airflow sensor, you should be good to go after this
