You may need to adjust the throtle or idle of the car. In older cars this is as simple as tightening a cable. So when the car is just idling it will naturally rev higher and not stall.
When there are impurities in the fuel tank, a car can cut out. Water and overheating are also common causes of cut outs.
Sonds like the idling speed is too low - it can be adjusted (Usually with just a screw driver) if you know the right screw to turn to give the engine higher idling revs.

car cuts off
my experiencess with vehicles that cut out while idleing would be a fuel filter or fuel pump problem.
I have a 2003 Ford Fiesta LX and last week whilst driving my engine cut out when I was breaking for a junction, and then continued to do so whenever the car was stationary, cruising in neutral or the revs simply got too low. The next day when driving it the EAC fail message came up on the dashboard and all power was lost briefly. I've been told by many people that the engine cutting out is a problem with the Idle control valve, but is it likely the EAC fail is due to the same thing? Thanks
Check the idle, if its fluctuating or falling than nomal. Usually, low idle causes stalling when coming into stops. Low idle, usually is due to dirty throttle, a leak in the vac hose, or a damaged MAF or IAC motor.
Most likely under-inflated tire
Just wondering. When does it cut out? You arn't running it too lean. The car will struggle up high revs if it's set too lean. Just an idea. Just wondering. When does it cut out? You arn't running it too lean. The car will struggle up high revs if it's set too lean. Just an idea.
wrong category...A deville is a CADILLAC not a LINCOLN TOWN CAR.
The engine has to power the air conditioner pump, so less revs are made resulting in less revs for the alternator, resulting in less volts so your gauge drops a little
How - with cooling oil Why - because friction causes heat, and overheating is bad for moving parts.
