Car starts then RPMs reduce and shut car down

My 99 continental did the same thing.I pulled the Idle air motor out and cleaned it with some Carb cleaner. It hasn't stalled on me since. Good luck.

This just happen to me today I went to my brother house worked fine then I was going to head home and it started and shut off right away. I am wounder if its the Alternator or batt. Going to do some checking in the AM

The battery and alternator where inspected today. The results of the test are good and both components are working. I also cleaned the sensor that is located in intake tube and the only thing that I can think of trying is to perform a tune-up.

I also read this that fieronut72 did.

I am going to looking at my manual to see where this is located so that I can give it a try. I pick up a can of air intake/carb cleaner. Does my car even have a carb? I didn’t think it did.

Thanks

Well, my car did shut down once since my last post and I did have a mechanic friend spray the air idler down. I will see what happens later on this week.

That worked, ever since I had the air idler sprayed it has not shut down on me starts up like a champ.

Thanks for the tip.
