i have an engine problem. sometimes when i slow down, like when i pull it into a parking lot or something, the check engine light will come on adn it will just die on me. it drives fine on the road, but somtimes when the rpm's get low it just shuts off. i have already had the fuel filter changed and the injectors cleaned. i also have an edge tuner that detects trouble codes and it is not finding anything. i don't really know what this could be so if any of you have experienced the same problem or something similar, i would appreciate any advice. -thanks

does the cel come onbefore or after the engine dies? check that out. might be the iac acting up on you.

 

i will check on the light, but i am pretty sure that it comes on after. sorry if this is a stupid question but what is the iac.

 

is the edge up to date. if not i would do that first then try it. most of the time tuners need to be updated in order to work properly. the iac is your idle air control valve. also a big possibility.

 

i have an evolution that i purchased only a few months ago. it should be pretty up to date. the truck has never died when it was just sitting and idling. most of the time it dies whe i slow down and turn at the same time. if it is the iac, is there any way to check and/or adjust it myself or does that have to be taken to a mechanic? by the way thanks for the replies.
