My car frequently drops below 500rpms, causing the car to shut off. While this happens occasionally while stopped at lights, it mostly occurs after taking my foot off the petal after brief acceleration. I had my fuel system cleaned to no avail after one suggestion, another had told me my tranny was shot.

Also, when I turn the 4wd to lo or hi, the only light that comes on is 4wdLo regardless of what setting I have it on.
