As I am driving periodically my car acts like its not getting enough gas. It starts to stall as I am applying the break. I have to turn car completely off. Place it in park. Then rev engine to get it to go. I then have to park the car for about a 1/2 hour then it drives completely normal. Ive had the car just stall while waiting for light to turn or slowing to a stop.

Hi rosebud25,

When in Neutral you are not able to keep the engine running by revving?

Looks like the idling circuit is not working properly and a cleanup of the throttle body and IAC should get the idling speed up.

If that does not help, the MAP sensor is the next on the checklist.
