kay..so I start mah car and my engine light is on. I drive around for a while and it turns off. Sometimes it stays on and sometimes it doesn't go on.

next..when I am driving home from mah aunts I step on the clutch and break to slow down for the red. Mah the engine light, brake light and battery light turns on. As I stop for the red, i found out mah car juss died...so I had to start it up again. I was strange..I step on the and hold down on the clutch and the car stalls..

anyone have any suggestions on what's going on?:mad:

This happened to me a while ago, the car would stall when i slowed down almost to a stop.. The problem ended up being the plug on the AFM, all I did was take it out, give it a blow and plug it back in...

Been fine every since..

ok, your engine stalling could be a number of causes INCLUDING, but not limited to the AFM. the engine light could be because of the AFM is malfunctioning. it is a plug located inline with your air intake piping, closest to the airbox. has nothing to do with stereo.


edit: actually here's a fix to your problem here (http://www.zilvia.net/f/search.php?s=)
