Default Very Low Idle? Whats Up?

Started the car and was greeted with it idling so low it would drop to zero and cut off the engine. What could be the problem?

It's the fuel pump ECU going out. I can't post a direct link since I'm using my phone to post this. Search for the 12v fuel mod. I'll get you a link once I get home.

ahah

I had a problem like that.. occasionally it'll down pretty low around 300s but it would never die on me. So decided to WOT one time and i checked it out again and it hasn't happened since.. but im pretty sure thats not the right idea.

LOL. I knew someone else would catch the joke in the thread title. Good one O.L.T.

I will try the mod on the weekend and will see how it works out. Thanks for the info guys!

You're welcome!

You're the first person to notice my reference to Death Note! I love that show!
