What could be wrong with your 1986 Oldsmobile delta 88 if it dies when I stop and idles erratically?

Might be the throttle Position Sensor or switch - causes it to idle erratically - jumps up and down in rpms. Got one the other day for a different type of car - was about 50.00. Not sure what engine you have - so don't know how to tell you to locate it. Might have your mechanic check that out - see what he says.

Is this a drive-by wire car? If so, and if someone has physically opened the throttle body while the ignition was turned on, the computer will be confused. Your Nissan dealer service department can plug a computer into your car and clear this up for you without replacing any parts. Or check each cylinders coil wires are good if one is bad it will cause it to idel rough.
