Most of my driving is 35 mph or less in a small town with lots of 4-way stops. Well, lately when I come to a stop at a 4 way stop with my clutch in, my car will suddenly just die. All the electrical stuff stays on, and when I crank it, it starts right back up and I'm off on my merry way, but I can't figure out why its happening. Also, when I'm cruising at a constant speed and let up on the gas then reapply gas, it sometimes gets really jerky for about a second. Neither of these instances (car dying at a stop sign or the car jerking) happen all the time, but it's happened probably 4-5 times in the last week and I'm beginning to wonder what is going on.


It's got new plugs and wires, new dist. cap/rotor, recently had the oil changed.

Any ideas?

 

check fuel filter?... had a similar issue... and turns out my fuel filter was siezing up... and how do ur plugs look?

edit: ur old plugs

 

I'm going to agree with you there. His old plugs looked like hell as well.

 

bad ignition coil? :dunno:

 

old plugs h:

 

That was replaced less than a year ago

 

you might also want to clean out your IACV valve, that should help also.

 

Try new plugs. If it still does it, try fuel filter.
