My car has low idle the rpm is in between 1 and 2, when I get to stop sign it goes stall. I noticed this after I changed my battery.

Idle air control valve may be faulty. Check for any codes as well, probably a tune related problem. The code read will be the first place to start. Let me know what you find regarding codes for further assistance.

Hi BABATUNDE,

I am sending you a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to scan for codes yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
Renee
