If you take your foot off the gas and the RPMs drop to zero and car stalls out what could the problem be?

On an older car (pre fuel injection) it would mean an incorrectly adjusted carb. ( minor problem) On a later model ( post 1990 ) with fuel injection I would suspect a bad TPS switch ( throttle position sensor) which does not recognize that the throttle is closing. If it is a later model vehicle, have the computer codes pulled as it could be other sensors etc. I hope this helps you a little. Mark

95 dodge stealth sohc It only starts when it wants to and when it does start if the rpms drop below 1k it stalls out new battery the starter is covered in oil any ideas?
since no one on here helped me I decided I'd throw in a starter. Turns out that was the problem, along with a vacuum leak.
How do you change the oil sending unit on a 1990 Ford truck When your truck gets warm your RPMs drop and your truck stalls and doesnt want to start until it is cool is the sending unit the problem?
The oil sending unit only provides a reading of the oil pressure to the gauge. It has nothing to do with actually sending oil.
Your 1993 ford f-150 with a 4.6 liter motor stalls when you come to a stop The rpms drop down low than normal than dies Also when you have the ac on the rpms will bounce up and down about 50to 100 rpm?
check your mass air flow sensor located near the air intake
My car's engine stalls when slowing down Any ideas?
I am not an expert but I dink around a little bit. I am having that problem on a 1994 sunbird. We think it is because the idle speed is low. Usually idles around 1.5rpm, now it stays around one. When you slow down the rpms drop to the idle position. If that is too low you will stall.
Why do the rpms suddenly drop to 0 when driving on the highway?
It appears that you may be suffering from the same problem i had a while back. Have you checked the wires to the alternator or even the plugs because the rev counter on a lot of cars runs of the alternator. Or it could be the alternator on the way out.
Your 1993 S10 blazer 4.3 vortec will start and run at high rpms but when the rpms drop to normal ideling it dies and sounds like it is being starved for fuel?
i had that same problem, try putting some injector cleaner in the gas tank and let it ideel for about ten minutes the go for a drive!!
What would cause a rise and fall of RPM while idling in gear?
the rpms should rise and then drop no more then 500 rpms when the fan on the radiator turns on and then off.
Your Ford Fiesta stalls most times when turning right?
when turningright,it could cut out because of power steering,make the revs drop,check fluid level
Your 1992 voyager does not seem to drop into proper rpms so im 5000 rpm and 65 mph?
If your 1992 Voyager does not seem to drop into the proper RPMs so that you are running at 5000 RPMs at 65 miles per hour, the timing belt might need adjusted. It can also indicate the idle is set too high.
When you apply the brakes harder the tach drops like its going to stall what could make the rpms drop by pushing the brake a lil harder?
it may be a bad torque converter.
What rpms are used to upshift and downshift a eaton fuller 18 speed?
You can do it at pretty much any RPMs, so long as your timing is right. I can hit gears upshifting at 1300 or 1900 RPMs with no problem. What the ideal shift range is will depend on the engine. As a general rule of thumb, most people say 1400 - 1600 RPMs... personally, I like to shift a bit higher, and drop back down into the powerband when I go into the next gear, so that the engine isn't as prone to bogging down.
Why does oil pressure drop when coming to a stop in a 1999 camaro 3.8L?
The pressure is lower as the engine is at slower rpms. The oil filter could be clogged or the oil pump might be going bad.
