My car has been idoling bad when i come up to a stop sign and then die when i stop. It will only do it every other time. I have replaced the cap and rotor, ignition control module, coil, spark plugs and spark plug wires. but nothing has worked. I dont know if it a senor or what, but i need it to be fixed soon. Its the only car i got. thanks

Idle air control sensor. They crud up and don't work right. Spray about half a can of carb cleaner into your intake. Pop the hose off AFTER the air filter. That should clean it off. Doesn't matter if the car is on or off. if that doesn't work, you'll need a new one. It's mounted on top of the intake snorkel after the filter and before the manifold. fairly inexpensive and simple fix
