okay so here's the deal. my car is loud i was told by a mechanic that i need my exhaust to be fixed. So when i drive it drives fine except for a little slug here and there. so when i come to a complette stop for too long or if i go at a low speed(0-5)mph it will stop, but I can restart it right away with no problem!.....any idea what it may be? something with the idle control valveor idle air passage?
