Q: car stall occasionally
My car occasionally stalls out. When it does it, its not rough or or hard it just cuts off(like i had turn the key off). It seems to only do it when its in nuetral or when i have the clutch in and am decelerating(to stop at a stop light or maybe an on/off ramp). The idle is also occasionally rough. gas mileage is good. i cleaned the throttle body last summer. I have replaced the plugs and wires.
My car has 185000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
