Engine shut off

[mykyna]

93 SE 130k. Sometimes the engine shut off infront of stop sign or red signal and need to re-start. This happens once around every two weeks. I have changed air filter and filled fuel injector treatment and it looks like no help. What suggestions you have? Thanks a lot!

it could be a good probability that you have a dirty throttle body.....I had the problem of the car shutting down on me but once I did a through cleaning of the throttle body....the problem went away....I suggest you do this first....if this does not help than we can look at other things

Agreed. Clean your throttle body, paying particular attention to the port leading to the idle air control valve. Spray the cleaner heavily in to that port. Do a search for "throttle body cleaning" on this website. There is a good thread on it with deatailed pictures on this site.

^ yup

and main question as well is if the revs go up and down or go really low before stalling, or if the engine just stalls

that happen to me too...but in my case the rpm revs up and down then shuts off...i fixed it by replacing i dont know whats it called but its a large tube that leads to the engine...sorry if that even helps...
