whenever i pull up to a stop my RPMs drop all the way down and sometimes the car turns off. This only happens when its in neutral. I want a way to get rid of this because it dangerours. Sometimes i have it in neutral and it turns off and my steering locks up so i have to slam on the brakes. Can someone help me. I got a 93 with injen intake

it oculd be alot of different things making your car idle low, it could as simple as a new battery, could be an alternator, but say its in the day time, if it doesnt do it when there really isnt any electrical on and the a/c isnt on, it would just have something to do with your idle...i previous car i owned would do that when i had the a/c on...it wasnt a big problem for me...just annoying, so i would just shut off the a/c before i would come to a stop, or give it alittle gas...too lazy to fix it, and it didnt bother me all that much, i would say start with the easiest solution you might think, and if that doesnt work then start doing the harder ones, but start with the easy ones that way you dont take apart a bunch of stuff and realize it was something that would have taken 30 min to fix...hope this helped alittle...

mine did that.  it did it when i turned really hard too?  well, i dissconnected the hose from the ASV (little black box on the left shock tower) that connected it to the intake.  i taped over the intake box hole, and left nothing on the ASV.  i havent died since.   what it does is suck in air from the intake and put in the exaust for emmissions.  ill get around removing the entire system but this is fine for now.  what its doing is shooting exaust in your intake b/c its old.  thats why its doing it.  you could clean the ASV and get it to work properly but thats too much work.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
