Q: Car dying at low speeds. Also hard idle sometimes. Why?
I have a code that pops up. P0108. The car dies when I am driving at low speeds. I have to put it in park to start it back up. Always does start right back up. Cleaned throttle body so it's not that. Any guesses or recommendations?
My car has 165000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
